No
The document describes a standard electronic nebulizer and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data analysis related to AI/ML.
Yes
The device is a nebulizer designed for the inhalation treatment of aerosol medications, which directly administers medication to a patient for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device is a nebulizer designed for delivering aerosol medications, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "hand-held device containing a capped medication cup" and is powered by batteries or adapters, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to deliver prescribed medication for nebulization to patients. This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is described as an electronic nebulizer for inhalation treatment. It's designed to aerosolize medication for delivery to the lungs.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information about a patient's health status or disease.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The eFlow nebulizer does not perform any of these functions.

Summary of Performance Studies
Non-clinical Test Summary: EFlow was tested to compare performance to the predicate devices, including:
- MMAD: eFlow MMAD is comparable to or lower than prodicate devices.
- RI: eFlow RF is comparable to or greater than predicate devices.
- TOR: eFlow TOR is comparable to or greater than predicate devices.
- Safety/EMC: eFlow meets the requirements of EN/IEC 60601-1, DIN EN 60601-2 and U'L 1431.
Clinical testing was not completed/is not required to show substantial equivalence.
Conclusions from Testing: eFlow meets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Device Description
The PARI eFlow™ is a small, single patient use, reusable electronic nebulizer for the inhalation treatment of aerosol medications. It is a hand-held device containing a capped medication cup that can be filled by the user. Power input is provided by cither 4 AA batteries, a DC adapter or an AC adapter. Alternate power cords/plugs/adapters allow use in any country.
Intended Use
The eFlow™ is a handheld nebulizer that will be used with patients for whom doctors have prescribed medication for nebulization. The eFlow is intended for adult and pediatric patients.
Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Device
eFlow, LC Star and Aeroneb are all nebulizers used to aerosolize medication for inhalation. I.C Star is a compressor driven jet nebulizer while elilow and Aeroneb use ultrasonic/piezoelectric vibration to generate the aerosol.
eFlow makes use of similar/identical materials for the nebulizer, as compared to the LC Star and also uses a similar two valve system to provide breath enhanced aerosol delivery.
Non-clinical Test Summary
EFlow was tested to compare performance to the predicate devices, including:
- MMAD: eFlow MMAD is comparable to or lower than prodicate devices. ●
- RI: eFlow RF is comparable to or greater than predicate devices. ●
- TOR: eFlow TOR is comparable to or greater than predicate devices. .
- Safety/EMC: eFlow meets the requirements of EN/IEC 60601-1, DIN EN 60601-2 and U'L 1431. .
Clinical Performance Summary
Clinical testing was not completed/is not required to show substantial equivalence.
Conclusions from Testing
eFlow meets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Mosenkis:
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.
