Intended Use
The Respironics Heated Humidifier is an accessory for CPAP and Bi-level systems to provide moisture to the patient circuit. It is intended for use with adult patients, in the home or hospital/institutional environment, who use maskapplied CPAP or Bi-level therapy for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Device Description
The Respironics Heated Humidifier is a Respiratory Gas Humidifier (heated Passover type) according to 21 CFR 868.5450. Heat is used to provide an evaporated water content to dry breathing gases. The Respironics Heated Humidifier has a thermoplastic enclosure with dimensions of 5.5 in. high x 6.5 in. wide x 5.25 in. deep and weighs 1.24 lbs. (without the chamber fitted), 1.63 lbs. (with the chamber fitted), and 2.5 lbs. (with the chamber fitted and filled with water). The unit is compromised of a metal heater plate that is controlled from control electronics, contained in a plastic enclosure that is directly supplied with AC power. The heater plate is positioned in the front of the unit. The humidification chamber slides onto the heater plate and is held in place by a rim on the enclosure. The unit controls are located on the top panel.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components of a heated humidifier and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used as an accessory for CPAP and Bi-level systems to provide moisture for patients receiving therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, which constitutes a therapeutic use.

No
The device is a heated humidifier, an accessory for CPAP and Bi-level systems, providing moisture to the patient circuit. Its function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components like a thermoplastic enclosure, metal heater plate, control electronics, and a humidification chamber, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide moisture to the patient circuit for CPAP and Bi-level systems used for treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a heated humidifier that adds moisture to breathing gases. This is a medical device used in respiratory therapy, not for testing samples from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The device is classified as a "Respiratory Gas Humidifier (heated Passover type)" according to 21 CFR 868.5450, which falls under the category of medical devices used in respiratory care.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Respironics Heated Humidifier is intended to warm and add moisture to the breathing gases for administration to a patient. It is used for patients who use mask-applied CPAP or Bi-level the a treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea. The addition of heated humidification to this therapy relieves the drying and irritating effects on the patient airways, which may arise from use of a CPAP or Bi-level system.
