Intended Use
The device is intended for continuous or intermittent mechanical ventilator support for the care of individuals who require mechanical ventilation. The ventilator is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified medical personnel under the direction of a physician. Specifically, the ventilator is applicable for adult and pediatric patients, 23 kg (50 lbs.) and greater who require the following general types of ventilatory support: - positive pressure ventilation delivered invasively (via an ET Tube) or non-invasively (via a mask) - CMV and IMV modes of ventilation - with or without PEEP / CPAP - with oxygen or a mixture of air and oxygen The ventilator is suitable for use in: - Pre-hospital transport applications including accident scene, emergency rescue vehicles - Hospital ICU and transport applications including emergency, radiology, surgery, recovery and MRI departments - Air transport via helicopter or fixed wing
Device Description
Pneuton (pronounced "new-ton") is a small, lightweight transport ventilator designed for use on patients from pediatric to adult in size (10 kg and higher). It is a time cycled, flow limited ventilator providing Continuous Mechanical Ventilation (CMV) or Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV). In these modes of ventilation, an adjustable respiratory rate and tidal volume are delivered to the patient. The patient is allowed to breath spontaneously between the mandatory breaths with little added work of breathing. A built-in PEEP / CPAP system can be set to provide expiratory positive pressure. The delivered oxygen is adjustable at 65 or 100 percent. Pneuton is a pneumatic ventilator. Electrical power is not required for patient ventilation. The pneumatic system operates at input pressures from 41 to over 66 psi. Various control systems manage the tidal volume and rate control, PEEP / CPAP, and safety svstems / pneumatic alarms. The Pneuton Ventilator uses accessories for normal operation which are included with this submission. The primary accessory is a patient tubing circuit to attach the ventilator to the patient. The patient circuit is a class 1 device, currently exempt from premarket notification. The patient circuit is a disposable device, not to be sterilized or disinfected (see section 12 of this submission). Additional accessories will be sold with the device including travel case, pole stand and mounting brackets.

The document describes a pneumatic ventilator with mechanical controls and safety systems. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any data-driven decision-making processes.

Yes

Explanation: The device is a ventilator, which provides mechanical ventilatory support for patients. Ventilators are considered therapeutic devices as they treat a patient's inability to breathe adequately on their own.

No
The device description states that the Pneuton is a mechanical ventilator intended for continuous or intermittent support for patients who require mechanical ventilation. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "pneumatic ventilator" and describes its mechanical operation and components, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "continuous or intermittent mechanical ventilator support for the care of individuals who require mechanical ventilation." This describes a life support device that directly interacts with the patient's respiratory system.
  • Device Description: The description details a "small, lightweight transport ventilator" that provides "Continuous Mechanical Ventilation (CMV) or Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV)." It describes how it delivers air/oxygen to the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The device's function is entirely focused on providing mechanical ventilation to the patient.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device operates in vivo (within the body) by assisting with breathing.
