If the compressed air from the air supply network fails, the Independence™ Medical Air Compressor automatically starts and supplies compressed air to the ventilator.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard medical air compressor with an automatic backup function, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
The device provides compressed air to ventilators, which are therapeutic devices, but the compressor itself does not directly provide therapy.

No
The device is an air compressor that provides compressed air to ventilators, it does not diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "air compressor" and describes its physical function of delivering compressed air, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide compressed air to ventilators. This is a life support function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's an air compressor for use in intensive care units or recovery rooms to supply air to ventilators. It's classified as a "Portable Air Compressor" under 21 CFR Part 868.6250, which falls under the category of Anesthesiology Devices. IVDs are typically classified under different parts of the CFR, such as Part 866 (Immunology and Microbiology Devices) or Part 864 (Hematology and Pathology Devices).
  • No Mention of Diagnostic Testing: The document does not mention any form of testing on biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or the diagnosis of any disease or condition.
  • No Mention of IVD-Specific Information: The document lacks information typically found in IVD submissions, such as details about reagents, calibrators, controls, or performance metrics related to diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, etc.).

The device is a medical device, specifically a life support accessory, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
