Intended Use
The BiPAP Focus ventilator is a non-invasive, pressure support ventilator used to augment the breathing of patients suffering from acute or chronic respiratory insufficiency, or respiratory failure, or to maintain airway patency and provide ventilatory support to patients who experience obstructive sleep apnea. It is not intended to provide the total ventilatory requirements of the patient.
Device Story
BiPAP Focus is a non-invasive, pressure support ventilator for hospital, sub-acute, and home use. It provides CPAP (single pressure level) or S/T (spontaneous/timed) modes, delivering two pressure levels (IPAP/EPAP) and timed breaths if the patient fails to initiate. Operated by clinicians or patients, it augments breathing for patients > 30 kg. The device features an internal battery, backup buzzer, remote alarm relay, VGA screen, and status LEDs. It assists patients with respiratory insufficiency or obstructive sleep apnea by maintaining airway patency. It does not provide total ventilatory requirements. Clinicians use the interface to monitor settings and status, adjusting therapy to support patient respiratory needs.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Non-invasive pressure support ventilator. Modes: CPAP and S/T. Features internal battery, charging circuit, VGA display, and alarm system (buzzer, LEDs). Intended for patients > 30 kg. Operates as a standalone unit for hospital, sub-acute, or home environments.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients > 30 kg with acute or chronic respiratory insufficiency, respiratory failure, or obstructive sleep apnea requiring non-invasive ventilatory support.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous ventilator (respirator) is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas. Adult, pediatric, and neonatal ventilators are included in this generic type of device.

Dear Dr. O'Dea:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of January 4, 2006.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent [{for the indications for use stated in the enclosure)] to legally marketed predicate devices narketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations. Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

### Device Description:
The BiPAP Focus is a non-invasive ventilator which has two (2) ventilation modes:
- Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) which provides a single level of positive 1. pressure to the patient
- Spontaneous/Timed (S/T) which provides two levels of positive pressure (one during 2. inspiration - IpAp and one during expiration - EvAp) and delivers timed breaths if the patient does not initiate a breath.
Image /page/3/Picture/9 description: The image shows a piece of medical equipment sitting on a stand. The equipment has a screen and several buttons. The stand has wheels, which makes it easy to move the equipment around. The equipment is likely used to monitor a patient's vital signs.
Indications for use - The BiPAP Focus ventilator is a non-invasive, pressure support ventilator used to augment the breathing of patients suffering from acute or chronic respiratory insufficiency, or respiratory failure, or to maintain airway patency and provide ventil support to patients who experience obstructive sleep apnea. It is not intended to romaid? } ventilatory requirements of the patient.

## Differences Between Other Legally Marketed Predicate Devices
The differences between the new device, BiPAP Focus, and the predicate devices are -
- An Internal battery and associated charging circuit is being added; .
- . The existing Buzzer on Harmony 2 will become the backup Buzzer;
- The existing Remote Alarm will be reconfigured to go through an internal relay to isolate t the circuit. A ¼ Screen VGA will be used instead of the current LCD;
- The Alarm LEDs will be supplemented with Battery Status LEDs; .
- The "Vent Inop" LED will be replaced by a High Priority Text based alarm; and .
- The Industrial Design of the unit will cater for additional GUI circuitry. .
The BiPAP Focus is viewed as having a non-invasive ventilation capability substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices -
Respironics - Vision - K982454 and Harmony K984407 and K031656
There are no significant differences that affect the safety or effectiveness of the intended device as compared to the predicate devices.
