Device Description
The PAH-S1 Hyperbaric Chamber System is a Class B monoplace hyperbaric chamber designed to treat one patient at up to a maximum operating pressure of 3 Atmospheres Absolute (ATA) or 29.4 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). The chamber uses 100% oxygen as the pressurization gas and patient breathes the oxygen contained inside the chamber as the hyperbaric treatment das. The overall external length of the chamber is 2200mm (approx, 7.22 ft). Its internal diameter is 813mm (approx. 32 inches). The chamber is constructed by half-steel and half-acrylic tube. A low-voltage patient intercommunication system designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 99, Chapter 19 and provides communications between the patients in the chamber and the outside chamber operator. The system consists of an operator control panel that contains all of the controls and connection points. Single operator chamber pressure control is achieved via a simple manual pneumatic control. Spare penetrators are provided to allow user supplied medical monitoring leads, etc., to be used as required. Patient is loaded and unloaded by a retractable qurnev. The chamber is also equipped with for pressurization. There is no gas supply for pressurization before the chamber's door is closed and secured thoroughly.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical and pneumatic aspects of a hyperbaric chamber and does not mention any AI or ML components. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is also marked as "Not Found".

Yes.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section lists multiple medical conditions for which the device is used, such as "Air or gas embolism," "Carbon monoxide poisoning," and "Enhanced healing of selected problem wounds," indicating its purpose is to treat or provide therapy for these conditions.

No

The device description and its intended use clearly state that it is a hyperbaric chamber used for treatment of various conditions, not for diagnosing them. It provides hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device description clearly details a physical hyperbaric chamber system with hardware components like a steel and acrylic tube, control panel, intercommunication system, and pneumatic controls. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The PAH-S1 Hyperbaric Chamber System is a physical chamber designed to treat a patient by exposing them to 100% oxygen at increased pressure. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Intended Use: The listed conditions are medical conditions treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy, not conditions diagnosed by analyzing samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Components: The description focuses on the physical structure of the chamber, pressure control, communication systems, and patient loading. There are no mentions of components for sample collection, analysis, or detection of substances in biological samples.

Therefore, the PAH-S1 Hyperbaric Chamber System is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description

The PAH-S1 Hyperbaric Chamber System is a Class B monoplace hyperbaric chamber designed to treat one patient at up to a maximum operating pressure of 3 Atmospheres Absolute (ATA) or 29.4 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). The chamber uses 100% oxygen as the pressurization gas and patient breathes the oxygen contained inside the chamber as the hyperbaric treatment. The system is designed and fabricated in accordance with the requirements of the ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1, Pressure Vessels; ANSI/ASME-PVHO-1 (American Society of Mechanical Engineers-Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy); and, NFPA 99, Health Care Facilities, Chapter 20, Hyperbaric Facilities, 2002 Edition.

The overall external length of the chamber is 2200mm (approx. 7.22 ft). Its internal diameter is 813mm (approx. 32 inches). The chamber is constructed by half-steel and half-acrylic tube. A low-voltage patient intercommunication system provides communications between the patients in the chamber and the outside chamber operator. Maximum power to the speaker is limited by the intercom circuitry to 250 mW at 1.4 volts (NFPA 99, Chapter 20 limit is 500 mW and 28 volts). The system consists of an operator control panel (containing all controls and connection points). Single operator chamber pressure control is achieved via a simple manual pneumatic control. Spare penetrators are provided to allow user supplied medical monitoring leads, etc., to be used as required. Patient is loaded and unloaded by a retractable gurney. The chamber is also equipped for pressurization, which is not supplied before the chamber's door is closed and secured.
