No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The device description is also not provided, which would be a key place to find such information.

No
The device is described as a resuscitator for mouth-to-mask ventilation, which is used to support or restore a physiological function (breathing), but it's not explicitly indicated for treatment or prevention of a disease or condition as typically defined for therapeutic devices. It's a life-sustaining aid.

No
Explanation: The device is a resuscitator indicated for ventilation, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. It does not identify or detect diseases or conditions.

No

The device is described as a "Pulmonary Resuscitator" and is indicated for "mouth to mask ventilation". This strongly implies a physical device (mask, potentially with a valve or other components) is involved, not just software. The lack of a device description prevents definitive confirmation, but the intended use points away from a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the Merlin Medical Limited Merlin E-Mask Air Pulmonary Resuscitator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "mouth to mask ventilation of a non-breathing adult and child". This describes a device used for direct patient care and resuscitation, not for testing samples taken from the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
  • Device Description (Not Found): While the description is missing, the intended use is the primary indicator.
  • No mention of biological samples: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample.
  • No mention of diagnostic testing: The device is used for providing ventilation, not for diagnosing a condition.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Merlin E-Mask Air Pulmonary Resuscitator does not fit this description.

Dear Mr. Steele:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
