CDRH Office and Division Associated with Recognized Standards:
OFFICE OF DEVICE EVALUATION (ODE)
Devices Affected:
Medical devices, including accessories (e.g. breathing tube, temperature sensors, etc.), which are intended to raise the water content of gases delivered to the patient in the form of water droplets or vapour, or both; excluding devices commonly referred to as ?room humidifiers? or humidifiers used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, or humidifiers incorporated into infant incubators. Nebulizers used for the delivery of drugs to patients are also excluded.
Processes Affected:
510(k), PMA, IDE, PDP, HDE, Design Control Input
Type of Standard:
 Vertical, International
Extent of Recognition:
Any declaration of conformance to ISO 8185 should be accompanied by the following documentation:

1. A summary report that identifies all sections of the standard with an indication of ?yes?, ?no?, or ?not applicable? to indicate conformance;
2. the tests reports accompanying those clauses of the standard that necessitate functional testing in order to verify compliance
3. the pass/fail acceptance criteria utilized
4. identification of and justification for any deviations from the requirements of the standard for application to the device under review
5. evidence of compliance with labeling (i.e. identification, marking and documents) requirements

Clause 4.6 is recognized in part. (cc) Delivered gas temperature, per the definition provided by clause 3.3 of ISO 8185:2007, shall be sampled at the patient connection port

Clause 6.1(aa) is recognized in part. Symbols included on the exterior of the humidifier should be accompanied by English Text.

Clause 6.8.2. is recognized in part. Please refer to the Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA staff: Processing/Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling for recommendations regarding development of reuse instructions (e.g. cleaning process, and disinfection or sterilization method, as applicable) and appropriate validation methods.

Clause 6.8.2. is recognized in part. The Instructions for Use should specify the type of water (e.g. tap, distilled) for use with the humidifier device.

Clause 44.7 is not recognized. Please refer to the Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA staff: Processing/Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling for recommendations regarding development of reuse instructions (e.g. cleaning process, and disinfection or sterilization method, as applicable) and appropriate validation methods.

Clause 44.8 Compatibility with substances used with the equipment is not recognized.

Clause 46 is not recognized. Please refer to FDA-recognized standard IEC 62366 Medical Devices ? Application of usability engineering to medical devices and Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA staff: Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Device Design for processes and recommendations for integrating human factors engineering into product design and development, which ensures that needs of the user are appropriately defined, verified and validated.

Clause 102.1 is not recognized. Please refer to FDA-recognized standard IEC 62366 Medical Devices ? Application of usability engineering to medical devices and Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA staff: Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Device Design for processes and recommendations for integrating human factors engineering into product design and development, which ensures that needs of the user are appropriately defined, verified and validated.
