Intended Use
Anesthesia / Respiratory Filters For use with ventilators, anesthesia machines and open flow systems where filtration of inspired and / or expired gases is desired. Model – HEPA filter 3000/04 – Single patient use for exhalation limb of circuit on NPB 700 series ventilators Models – HEPA filters - 6500/01, 6888/01, 8222/01, 8444/01 Model – Non-HEPA filters - 4000/01 Single patient use up to 24 hours. Patient tidal volumes > 150 ml, when applicable.
Device Description
The Air Safety HEPA and Non-HEPA filters are available in multiple sizes and shapes, and incorporate standard 15 / 22 mm connectors with or without a gas sampling luer port. Some models adapt to fit ventilator exhalation limb only. The depth (HEPA filtration) filter uses a pleated paper fiber for filtration. Filters are tested for rating performance according to EN 13328 Salt for Breathing System filtration performance. The "HEPA" performance was also tested in accordance to DOE-3025-99, DOE-3020-97 and ASTM D2986 - DOP. The electrostatic (non-HEPA filtration) filters are tested by Nelson Laboratories for BFE and VFE.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus solely on the physical filtration properties of the filters and do not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a filter designed to remove particulates and microorganisms from inspired and expired gases, not to directly treat or cure a disease or condition in a patient.

No

The device is described as a HEPA/Non-HEPA filter for use with ventilators and anesthesia machines to filter inspired and/or expired gases. Its function is filtration, not diagnosis. The performance metrics provided relate to its filtration efficiency (e.g., BFE, VFE), not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical filter made of pleated paper fiber, available in multiple sizes and shapes, and incorporates standard connectors. It is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to filter inspired and/or expired gases in respiratory circuits (ventilators, anesthesia machines, open flow systems). This is a mechanical function related to the delivery and removal of gases from the patient's respiratory system.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of the filters (materials, connectors, testing for filtration efficiency). It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Performance Studies and Metrics: The performance studies and metrics focus on the physical filtration capabilities of the device (resistance to flow, bacterial and viral filtration efficiency, particle filtration). These are measures of the device's mechanical function, not diagnostic performance.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility of any tissue or organ for transplantation. This device does not fit that definition.
