No
The device description details a purely mechanical and chemical process for oxygen concentration, with no mention of AI or ML technologies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is intended for the delivery of supplemental oxygen for therapeutic purposes, as indicated by its function to provide oxygen to patients in home or medical settings.
No
The device is an oxygen concentrator which delivers supplemental oxygen. It is explicitly stated that the device 'does not provide any patient monitoring capabilities', ruling out diagnostic functions.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a compressor, molecular sieve tanks, and a "T" fitting, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that the Oxygen Concentrators are designed to deliver supplemental oxygen to a patient. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
The device's purpose is to provide a medical gas for breathing, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The Merits Health Products Oxygen Concentrators are prescription devices designed to provide an inexpensive supply of supplemental oxygen in a home or institution without a continuous source of purified oxygen. They are not life-supporting nor life-sustaining devices. The devices operate through the use of molecular sieve material that binds with the water and nitrogen in filtered room air to leave a gas that is approximately 93% oxygen when delivered to the patient. The compressor creates a vacuum to draw room air into a holding tank. At the same time, downstream of the compressor, the air from the previous cycle is pressurized into one of the two aluminum welded molecular sieve tanks. As the oxygen is forced out of the end of the tank, it enters a "T" fitting that directs most of the gas to flush the nitrogen out of the second molecular sieve tank into the ambient air. The remaining oxygen is delivered to the patient. On the next cycle, the air is directed into the second molecular sieve tank with the oxygen generated flushing the first tank and continuing the supply to the patient. This repetitive cycle generates the oxygen necessary to flush and prepare the saturated sieve tank while supplying the patient with a continuous flow of high concentration oxygen. Options will include an Oxygen alarm and a pediatric flowmeter

The oxygen concentrator operates by using molecular sieve material to absorb water and nitrogen from filtered air. The resulting gas has an increased concentration of oxygen. This technology is well established and has been used in other legally marketed products. There are no major technological differences.
9.9 Performance Data
The results of the testing confirm that the device meets specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Conclusion 9.10
Based on the design, performance specifications and intended use, the Oxygen Concentrators are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed device.
