The device description and intended use focus on a physical filter for reducing particulate passage, with no mention of AI/ML technologies or data processing.
No
The device is a filter intended to reduce the passage of particulate matter that may carry airborne bacteria and/or viruses, not to treat a medical condition.
No
The device is a replacement filter for breathing machines, designed to prevent the passage of bacteria and viruses, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (top housing, bottom housing, filter element made of plastic and electrostatic material) and their assembly (sonic weld joint). This indicates a hardware device, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to filter air in breathing circuits (ventilators, anesthesia machines, etc.) to reduce the passage of bacteria and viruses. This is a mechanical function related to patient breathing support, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description details the physical components of a filter designed to be placed in a breathing circuit. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological samples.
- 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 specific analytes (proteins, DNA, antibodies, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
The device is clearly intended for use in respiratory support systems to improve air quality, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment or support, not diagnosis.
