Device Description

The PAH-M10+2 Hyperbaric Chamber System is a Class A multiplace hyperbaric chamber designed to treat up to 12 patients at up to a maximum operating pressure of 6 Atmospheres Absolute (ATA) or 73.5 pounds per square inch qauge (psig). The chamber uses compressed air as the pressurization gas and 100% oxygen as the hyperbaric treatment gas. The overall external length of the chamber is 7025mm (approx. 23 ft). Its internal diameter is 2500mm (approx. 8.2 ft). There are two compartments: main compartment and transfer compartment. Ten (10) seats and two (2) seats are installed in main compartment and transfer compartment respectively. Besides, there is one (1) additional seat installed in the main compartment for attendant. Two independent fire suppression systems, water deluge system and handline system, are installed in accordance with the requirement of NFPA 99, Chapter 19 (Chapter 20, 2002 Edition). Pressurization is provided by compressed air with 100% oxygen administered to the patient by using properly fitting oronasal masks or head tents. A low-voltage patient intercommunication system designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 99, Chapter 19 (Chapter 20, 2002 Edition) and provides communications between the patients in the chamber and the outside chamber operator. It also provides patients with audio program content from external sources such as CD players, radios, etc. A Teledyne TED-191 oxygen analyzer is installed to monitor the concentration of oxygen inside the chamber continually. The system consists of an operator control console that contains all of the controls and connection points. Single operator chamber pressure control is achieved via a simple manual pneumatic control. A penetrator plate is provided in the vessel wall to allow user supplied medical monitoring leads, etc., to be used as required. The rectanqular door allows a normal size patient gurney to be used to transport nonambulatory patients into the chamber. This feature greatly improves patient handling safety.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The document describes a standard hyperbaric chamber system with manual controls and basic monitoring equipment. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or any other section.

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is a hyperbaric chamber system designed for Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) therapy, which is a medical treatment. The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section lists various medical conditions that are treated using HBO, such as "Air or gas embolism," "Carbon monoxide poisoning," and "Enhanced healing of selected problem wounds." This clearly indicates its therapeutic purpose.

Diagnostic

This device is a hyperbaric chamber used for treatment. It is described as a "Hyperbaric Chamber System designed to treat" various conditions, and it specifically mentions "100% oxygen as the hyperbaric treatment gas." There is no indication that it is used for diagnosing any conditions.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description clearly describes a physical hyperbaric chamber system with hardware components such as a chamber, seats, fire suppression systems, oxygen analyzer, control console, and doors. It is not solely software.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Device Description: The PAH-M10+2 Hyperbaric Chamber System is a physical chamber designed to treat patients with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It involves placing the patient inside the device and administering oxygen under pressure.
Intended Use: The listed conditions are treated by exposing the patient to a specific environment (high pressure oxygen), not by analyzing samples taken from the patient.
Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to sample collection, analysis of biological specimens, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, the PAH-M10+2 Hyperbaric Chamber System is a therapeutic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Overview

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The PAH-M10+2 Hyperbaric Chamber System is intended to be procured and used by physicians to treat a variety of medical conditions that respond to hyperbaric oxygen. The Undersea & Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) produces a list of medical conditions that have been identified for the appropriate primary or adjunctive use of hyperbaric oxygen. These approved conditions include: air or gas embolism; carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation; clostridial myonecrosis (gas gangrene); crush injury, compartment syndrome and other acute traumatic ischemias; decompression sickness; enhanced healing of selected problem wounds; exceptional blood loss anemia; necrotizing soft tissue infections; osteomyelitis (refractory); radiation tissue damage (osteoradionecrosis); compromised skin flaps and grafts; thermal burns; and, intracranial abscess. Aggressive research into the beneficial effects of hyperbaric oxygen, when appropriately applied, will result in additional medical conditions being added to the list of indications by the UHMS.

It is the expressed, intended use of the Pan-America Hyperbarics, Inc., PAH-M10+2 Hyperbaric Chamber System is to provide therapy to those patients with selected medical conditions that have been determined to respond to the application of hyperbaric oxygen. As a Class II prescriptive device, it is further intended for physician involvement in its procurement and routine use.

The UHMS is the professional medical organization chartered with setting the standards of care defining the appropriate use of hyperbaric oxygen. More specifically, the UHMS publishes a listing of medical conditions that have been clearly established as appropriate primary or adjunctive use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). The disorders on the list have been scientifically validated and verified through extensive data collection. It should be noted that the list is dynamic. Based on the strength of the scientific data, disorders are both added and removed from the list, depending on the outcomes of scientific pursuit.

The conditions listed as appropriate for the use of HBO in the current edition of the UHMS Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Committee Report (1999) are as follows:

Air or gas embolism 1.
Carbon monoxide poisoning and carbon monoxide poisoning complicated by 2. cyanide poisoning
က် Clostridial myositis and myonecrosis
Crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias
ട. Decompression sickness
Enhanced healing of selected problem wounds
Exceptional blood loss anemia 7.
Necrotizing soft tissue infections 8.
Osteomyelitis (refractory)
1. Delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis)
1. Skin grafts and flaps (compromised)
1. Thermal burns
1. Intracranial abscess

The Pan-America Hyperbarics, Inc., PAH-M10+2 Hyperbaric Chamber System is designed to be installed and operated in medical facilities as defined by the NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities, Chapter 19, Hyperbaric Facilities (Chapter 20, 2002 Edition). Further, this system is intended to be operated only by medical personnel specifically trained in the appropriate use of HBO and the safe operations of all related equipment such as the hyperbaric chamber.
