Intended Use
The HC234 CPAP Humidifier is used to assist with patient breathing while sleeping, for the purpose of treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by the delivery of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in order to prevent airway obstruction. The addition of heated respiratory humidification to this therapy relieves the drying and irritation to the patient airways that may arise from use of a CPAP system. The HC234 CPAP Humidifier is for use on adult, spontaneously breathing (non-ventilator dependant) patients at home or in the sleep laboratory.
Device Description
The HC234 CPAP Humidifier is a non-invasive Continuous Positive Airway Pressure flow generator, incorporating a Heated Respiratory Humidifier. The HC234 is comprised of two functional units. One is a motorised fan assembly that provides positive air pressure, and is controlled by software. The fan output is ducted to a humidification chamber at the front of the device. The second functional unit of the HC234 is a heated passover humidifier. The water is contained in the humidification chamber positioned on a heaterplate at the front of the unit. The chamber connects to the patient breathing tube. Ambient temperature is monitored in order to reduce breathing tube condensation in cooler operating conditions.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard CPAP humidifier with software control for the fan and temperature monitoring, but there is no mention of AI or ML capabilities for data analysis, prediction, or adaptive control beyond basic environmental adjustments.

Yes
The device is used for treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) by delivering Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), which is a therapy for a medical condition.

No

The device is described as a CPAP Humidifier used to assist with patient breathing for treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea by delivering continuous positive airway pressure; it does not mention diagnosing any conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of two functional units, one being a motorized fan assembly and the other a heated passover humidifier, both of which are hardware components. While software controls the fan, the device is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the HC234 CPAP Humidifier is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • HC234 Function: The HC234 CPAP Humidifier is a device that delivers positive air pressure and humidification to a patient's airways to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea. It interacts directly with the patient's respiratory system, not with specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for assisting with patient breathing and relieving airway drying, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a fan assembly and a heated humidifier, components consistent with a respiratory support device, not an IVD.

Therefore, the HC234 CPAP Humidifier falls under the category of a respiratory therapy device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
