No
The summary explicitly states "It does not use software". AI/ML requires software implementation.

Yes
The device is used to deliver liquids to a patient in an aerosol form, which implies a medical purpose for treatment or therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is a nebulizer used for delivering liquids as aerosols, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It is described as delivering substances, not identifying or analyzing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states, "It does not use software".

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Handle Nebulizer Function: The description clearly states the Handle Nebulizer is used to "deliver liquids to a patient in an aerosol form." This is a therapeutic function, delivering medication or other liquids directly to the patient's respiratory system. It does not involve analyzing samples taken from the patient.

Therefore, the Handle Nebulizer falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment or delivery of substances, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Mr. Kulon:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits vour device to proceed to the market.
