No
The device description clearly details physical hardware components such as piston air compressors, motors, fans, power cords, switches, and casings. The performance studies also focus on hardware characteristics like particle size, flow, and pressure.
Based on the provided information, these devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to deliver medication in aerosol form directly to the patient for inhalation therapy. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The devices are described as aerosol compressor systems that provide compressed air to a nebulizer mouthpiece. Their function is to create an aerosol for inhalation, not to analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the devices being used to test or analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a disease or condition.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical characteristics of the aerosol delivery (particle size, flow/pressure, nebulization rate), which are relevant to the effectiveness of drug delivery, not diagnostic accuracy.
IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease or congenital abnormality. The Invacare nebulizers do not fit this definition. They are medical devices used for drug delivery.

Device Description
Invacare Pro Nebulizer: The Invacare Pro Nebulizer is a lightweight, self-contained basic aerosol compressor system intended to provide compressed air to a nebulizer mouthpiece. It is designed to operate with any commercially available, small volume disposable nebulizer mouthpiece.
The Invacare Pro Nebulizer supplies pressurized air to the nebulizer mouthpiece. A small piston air compressor provides the compressed air necessary to drive the nebulizer. The Invacare Pro Nebulizer has a maximum output pressure of 39 psi. The maximum flow rate is 8.5 LPM and the operating flow rate is 4.8 LPM @ 16 psi. Air is drawn into the compressor through a filter and exits the unit through a barbed tubing connection. The compressor is kept cool by drawing air across the motor coil using an integral fan.
A permanently attached mains power cord supplies AC power for the unit and power is controlled by the use of an ON/OFF switch. The motor incorporates a current/temperature overload protector, which opens the electrical circuit in the event of high current draw or high temperature in the motor winding. The casing for the unit is constructed of ABS flame retardant material.
Invacare Compact Nebulizer: The Invacare Compact is a smaller version of the Invacare Pro. It is a lightweight, self-contained basic aerosol compressor system intended to provide compressed air to a nebulizer's mouthpiece. It is designed to operate with any commercially available, small volume disposable nebulizer mouthpiece.
The Invacare Compact Nebulizer supplies pressurized air to the nebulizer mouthpiece. A small piston air compressor provides the compressed air necessary to drive the nebulizer. It has a maximum output pressure of 33 psi. The maximum flow rate is 8 LPM and the operating flow rate is 4.0 LPM (@ 16 PSI. Air is drawn into the compressor through a filter and exits the unit through a barbed tubing connection. The compressor is kept cool by drawing air across the motor coil using an integral fan.
A permanently attached mains power cord supplies AC power for the unit and power is controlled by the use of an ON/OFF switch. The motor incorporates a current/temperature overload protector, which opens the electrical circuit in the event of high current draw or high temperature in the motor winding. The casing for the unit is constructed of ABS flame retardant material.
Invacare Portable Desktop Nebulizer: The Invacare Portable Desktop Nebulizer system consists of a nebulizer and a DC powered piston-type compressor that generates compressed air. Small, lightweight and designed for convenience, the Invacare Portable Nebulizer device offers the user a choice of running off of AC power via a universal adapter or DC power via a 12 volt auto adapter or an optional rechargeable battery pack.
The compressor unit consists of a motor driven piston compressor, printed circuit board and a switch. The circuit board does not incorporate a microprocessor, but serves as a means to prevent double feed of power. This is a safety feature that allows power draw from either the battery or the input adapter, but not both. There is a thermistor incorporated into the circuit board that provides protection by opening the electrical circuit in the event of high motor temperature. The circuit board is not part of the charging circuit for the battery pack. The unit has a maximum pressure of 36 psi and an operating pressure of 10 psi. The maximum flow rate is 5.2 LPM and the operating flow rate is 2.5 LPM @ 10 psi.
The nebulizer mouthpiece employs a venturi effect to convert the medication into a fine aerosol mist. It is used with an extension tube. The nebulizer mouthpiece has a particle size range of ~ 5 microns and a capacity of 7 ml (cc). Providing a connection between the compressor outlet and the nebulizer mouthpiece bottom, the extension tube allows the compressor on a sturdy surface and to simply hold onto the nebulizer mouthpiece. The nebulizer mouthpiece is designed for single patient use, is reusable and intended to be used exclusively with the Invacare Portable Desktop Nebulizer. Use of the nebulizer mouthpiece, compressor or tubing with other compressors, nebulizer mouthpieces or tubing may produce incorrect flow resulting in improper treatment.
