Intended Use
The Synchrony is intended to provide non-invasive ventilation in adult patients (>30 kg) for the treatment of respiratory insufficiency (a condition in which the patient can continue without ventilation for some period, such as overnight) or obstructive sleep apnea. The Synchrony may be used in the hospital or home. The Synchrony is intended for use with nasal masks and full-face masks as recommended by Respironics.
Device Description
The Respironics BiPAP Synchrony Ventilatory Support System is a microprocessor controlled blower based Bi-level positive pressure system that delivers two different positive pressure levels (IPAP/EPAP). The dual pressure levels provide a more natural means of delivering pressure support therapy to the patient resulting in improved patient comfort. Respironics is modifying the existing device with the addition of 3 alarms, expanding the EPAP setting to 30 cmH2O and adding a remote control accessory for use in a clinical setting. The BiPAP Synchrony Ventilatory Support System is intended for use with a patient circuit that is used to connect the device to the patient interface device (mask). A typical patient circuit consists of a six-foot disposable or reusable smooth lumen 22mm tubing, a method of venting exhaled gases, and a patient interface device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a microprocessor-controlled blower-based system with standard ventilation features and alarms. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies.

Yes
The device is described as a "Ventilatory Support System" intended for the "treatment of respiratory insufficiency or obstructive sleep apnea," which directly addresses a medical condition to improve patient health.

No
The device is described as a ventilatory support system that delivers positive pressure levels to patients, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. Its intended use is for treating respiratory insufficiency or obstructive sleep apnea, not for diagnosing them.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "microprocessor controlled blower based Bi-level positive pressure system," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Synchrony is for providing non-invasive ventilation to adult patients for the treatment of respiratory insufficiency or obstructive sleep apnea. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a ventilatory support system that delivers positive pressure to the patient's airway. This is a medical device used for treatment, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The Synchrony's function is to assist with breathing, which is a direct treatment for a medical condition.
