Intended Use
The PVOCS HF system is intended to provide respiratory gases to include pre and post operative respiratory oxygen, pneumatic drive gas for ventilators and anesthesia machines, and oxygen enrichment for ventilators and anesthesia machines. It may be used in military field hospitals and other applications where oxygen stored in high pressure cylinders or liquid oxygen is not available, practical or safe to use. It is appropriate for use by military personnel only.
Device Description
The PVOCS HF is a dual-mode medical gas system which supplies both oxygen-enriched gas at 93 ± 3% oxygen (hereafter referred to as OXY 93% or USP Oxygen 93%) and medical-grade air (MED AIR). In the High Flow OXY 93% mode, the PVOCS HF can supply up to 30 lpm of oxygen and 30 lpm of medical-grade air, and in the Low Flow OXY 93% mode oxygen mode, up to 20 lpm of oxygen and 75 lpm of medical-grade air. The system requires a separate compressed air supply from which oxygen is concentrated using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) techniques with synthetic zeolite. The oxygen is supplied at two low-pressure (6-psig) ports for patient respiration via nasal cannula and four moderate-pressure (50-psig) ports for patient ventilators. A storage plenum (purge tank) is included in the product line to ensure that short-term, high-demand flows do not cause a drop in oxygen concentration or pressure drops below rated output pressure in the product gas. The medical-grade air is provided to four ports at 50 psig by filtering the compressed air supply and drying it using PSA techniques.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical and functional aspects of a gas supply system using pressure swing adsorption, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is intended to provide respiratory gases, including oxygen enrichment, directly to patients through ventilators or nasal cannulas, which is a therapeutic function.

No
The device is described as supplying respiratory gases (oxygen-enriched gas and medical-grade air), which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines a hardware system that generates and supplies medical gases using pressure swing adsorption techniques, filters, and storage tanks. It is not solely software.

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 respiratory gases (oxygen and medical-grade air) for patient respiration and to power ventilators and anesthesia machines. This is a therapeutic and life-support function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device description details the process of generating and supplying gases, not analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The device is clearly designed to provide a medical gas supply for patient care, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.
