More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses on standard CPAP functionality.

Yes.
The device provides CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) to treat newborns and infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), which is a direct therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a non-invasive respiratory support device providing CPAP, which is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic one. Its intended use is for treating infants with RDS or recovering from it, not for diagnosing the condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "system" and a "non-invasive respiratory support device," implying hardware components are involved in delivering CPAP. The mention of humidification capabilities further supports this.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) for respiratory support. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on in vitro samples (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's a "non-invasive respiratory support device." This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Guardian Neonate CPAP / Humidification system falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
