Generally the Medela® THOPAZ is intended to be used in all situations where chest drains are applied - especially for thoracic drainage and in situations such as pneumothorax, after surgery (post operative), thorax injury, pleura effusion, pleuryempyem or other related conditions. ## Device Story Medela THOPAZ is an AC/DC powered, maintenance-free secretion aspirator for thoracic drainage. Device utilizes a DC-motor with membrane aggregate to provide suction (max -10 kPa / -75 mmHg; 5 L/min flow). System is dry, requiring no fluids for operation. Features an electronic measuring/monitoring system with MMI (man-machine interface) for settings, alarm handling, and data transfer. Status displayed digitally and graphically on-device; therapy data transferable to PC. Used in clinical settings to assist patient mobilization during chest drainage. Healthcare providers use output to monitor therapy progress and adjust suction parameters. Benefits include quiet operation, patient mobility, and integrated safety features. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on identical technological characteristics and performance data compared to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics AC/DC powered, maintenance-free suction pump. Features DC-motor with membrane aggregate. Dry system (no fluids required). Max vacuum -10 kPa (-75 mmHg); flow rate 5 L/min. Includes electronic measuring/monitoring system with optical/acoustic status display. MMI interface for user control. Data transfer capability to PC. ## Regulatory Identification A powered suction pump is a portable, AC-powered or compressed air-powered device intended to be used to remove infectious materials from wounds or fluids from a patient's airway or respiratory support system. The device may be used during surgery in the operating room or at the patient's bedside.

K043544 E_510k_Summary_THOPAZ.doc 2008-01-24 Section E - 1 of 3 {1}------------------------------------------------ #### ব Device Description The Medela® THOPAZ pump is an innovative secretion aspirator intended to be used for thoracic drainage. Its well-proven membrane system guarantees maximum suction performance and quiet, dependable operation. Additional advantages of the Medela® THO-PAZ are: user friendliness, patient mobility, simple cleaning and integrated safety features. A comprehensive range of accessories makes the Medela® THOPAZ ideally suited for thoracic drainage while mobilizing the patient. The Medela® THOPAZ suction pump is an AC/DC powered, maintenance-free aspirator which incorporates a DC-motor with membrane aggregate power actuation in its housing. A user friendly MMI (man machine interface) guides the user through first installation, change of settings, use, data transfer and alarm handling. The Medela® THOPAZ suction pump has an electronic measuring and monitoring system with optical and acoustic status display. The device is a dry system, which means that no fluids are necessary for operation. Important information about the course of therapy is displayed digitally and as graphics in the display. These data can be transferred to a PC upon completion of the therapy. The Medela® THOPAZ suction pump has a suction capacity of 5 liters per minute and a maximum vacuum up to -10 kPa (-75 mmHg). The pump is marked "low flow - low vacuum". A variety of reusable and disposable accessories for thoracic drainage are available. #### 5 Indications for use The Medela® THOPAZ Suction Pump is indicated for aspiration and removal of surgical fluids, tissue, gases, bodily fluids or infectious materials from a patient's respiratory support system (after surgery). Generally the Medela® THOPAZ is intended to be used in all situations where chest drains are applied - especially for thoracic drainage and in situations such as pneumothorax, after surgery (post operative), thorax injury, pleura effusion, pleuryempyem or other related conditions. ## Summary of Technological Characteristics 6 The Medela® THOPAZ has the same performance characteristics as the predicate devices. These differences regarding type of aggregate and display are marginal and state of the art today. Other FDA approved devices using the same technology (aggregate and display). The Medela® THOPAZ Suction Pump is equipped with the identical technology like other marketed devices. These technological features do not affect safety and effectiveness of the device or the application (thoracic drainage). E_510k_Summary_THOPAZ.doc 2008-01-24 {2}------------------------------------------------ #### 7 Conclusion There are no differences in performance or technology which significantly affect the safety and effectiveness of the device or the application (thoracic drainage). All conclusions are made by the decision making process according to the recommendations in the "510(k) SE Decision Making Process" document. The Medela® THOPAZ suction pump has the identical intended uses and, where applicable, the identical technological characteristics and performance data as the predicate devices. Based upon the information presented in this submission, it is proven that the proposed Medela® THOPAZ powered suction pump is substantially equivalent, safe and effective for the intended use.
