The device description focuses on the mechanical components and function of a respiratory mask, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is a mask that interfaces with a ventilator. It is an accessory to a therapeutic device (the ventilator), but it does not provide the therapy itself.
No
The device is a full face mask, an accessory to a noncontinuous ventilator, used to deliver positive airway pressure for treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Its function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical mask with components like a non-rebreathing valve, elbow, and bias slots, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Flexifit™ Series HC431 Full Face Mask is a respiratory mask that interfaces a patient with a ventilator. Its function is to deliver positive airway pressure to the patient's nose and mouth.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. It is a physical interface for delivering air.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for delivering CPAP or Bilevel ventilator treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a respiratory support device accessory, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Flexifit™ Series HC431 Full Face Mask is intended for multiple patient or single patient adult use by individuals who have been diagnosed by a physician as requiring CPAP or Bilevel ventilator treatment. A CPAP or Bilevel ventilator is typically used to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and may be used in the home, hospital or sleep laboratory.
The Flexifit™ Series HC431 Full Face Mask is indicated for use by adults requiring CPAP or Bilevel ventilator treatment in home, hospital and laboratory environments for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It constitutes the patient to ventilator interface in a noncontinuous ventilator system. The device administers positive airway pressure via a mask which covers the nose and mouth. The HC431 Full Face Mask is a multi-patient reusable device for use on the prescription of a suitably qualified physician.

Device Description
The Flexifit™ Series HC431 Fuill Face Mask is an accessory to a Noncontinuous ventilator (IPPB) according to 21 CFR §868.5905. It constitutes the patient to ventilator interface in a noncontinuous ventilator system.
The Flexifit™ Series HC431 Full Face Mask is a respiratory mask which covers the mouth and nose. The mask is connected to the output breathing tube of the ventilator. The ventilator supplies air at CPAP or Bilevel pressures (typically in the range 3 - 25 cm H₂O) which is available at the mask.
The mask is positioned over the patient's nose and mouth during CPAP or Bilevel treatment. The HC431 Full Face Mask is designed to ensure the desired positive airway pressure is delivered to the patient with minimal leakage and that the mask is held securely over the nose and mouth while asleep.
The non-rebreathing valve prevents CO2 re-breathing in the event of pressure loss due to power outage or ventilator machine failure. The elbow on the front of the mask facilitates freedom of movement while maintaining circuit integrity. Bias slots on the mask provide a means to purge exhaled gases from the breathing circuit.
The silicone seal is designed to fit around a patient's nose and mouth, and provide an airtight seal by which positive airway pressure is supplied to the patient. The seal is designed to be contoured and flexible to provide a good fit for most of the population. The seal fits under the patient's chin to provide stability to the mask and prevent the mask sliding up the face of the user. The seal is available in two sizes, both of which fit the single size mask base.
The base is manufactured from a rigid polycarbonate, and is designed to provide attachment points for the seal, headgear and breathing circuit. The upper headgear attaches to the base via the forehead rest, while the lower headgear straps attach to the base via the Glider™. The forehead rest holds the forehead cushion, and gives additional stability to the mask while preventing the seal from being over-tightened onto the bridge of the nose.
The Glider™ provides a sliding attachment between the headgear and the base, so that as the user turns their head, the Glider™ can slide through the mask base without becoming tight, as headgear does if it is rigidly attached to the base. The Glider™ has two straps, which help to maintain the mask stability. The Glider™ is held onto the mask base by the glider cover. The Glider™ is manufactured from Nylon 6, which provides good flexibility and strength, while maintaining a low coefficient of friction between the Glider™ and the polycarbonate base.
One end of the Glider™ is attached to the headgear by a clip, which incorporates a quick release cord. In case of claustrophobia, vomiting or other emergency, the patient can pull the quick release strap to release the mask from their face. The clip is manufactured from acetal, which provides good flexibility and toughness. The other end of the Glider™ is attached to the headgear via a tight hook. Both the clip and the hook allow the user to remove the mask without adjusting the headgear strap length settings.
The polycarbonate glider cover also provides the bias slots. The bias slots are thin slots, which taper gently outwards to allow the bias flow to escape from the base while remaining attached to the sidewalls of the slot. This results in minimal velocity and noise. The cover provides one sidewall of the slot, while the mask base provides the other.
The breathing circuit is attached to the mask base via the elbow and the nonrebreathing valve. The polycarbonate elbow has a free rotating swivel-snap connection on both ends. This means that the user can adjust the breathing circuit to any position they prefer. The free rotation reduces the torque transferred from the breathing circuit to the mask, so the mask disturbance is minimised.
Attached to the other end of the elbow is the non-rebreathing valve. The valve is designed to prevent carbon dioxide build up in the mask in the event of cessation of airflow from the breathing circuit. The valve consists of a thin silicon flap and two polycarbonate housings, which are ultrasonically welded together. During normal operation, the valve's silicon flaps are held open by the CPAP flow. When the flow ceases, the flaps return to their natural position, occluding the circuit and preventing back flow. This forces any exhaled air to exit the mask via the bias slots, thereby preventing CO2 build up in the mask. The valve has a standard 22mm conical connector, which the breathing circuit attaches to.
The headgear provides four attachment points to the mask. The length of each strap can be adjusted using Velcro tabs, and each strap can also be unhooked without altering or undoing the length adjustment. The headgear is made of Breath-o-prene, which helps prevent sweating. The headgear also provides an attachment point for the other end of the quick release cord.
