No
The description focuses on the mechanical and physical components of a portable oxygen delivery system and does not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML.

Yes
The EZ-OX Plus is intended to provide supplemental oxygen to adults for medical applications, including resuscitation and oxygen deficiency. This directly addresses health conditions, fulfilling the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

This device is an oxygen delivery system, which provides supplemental oxygen to adults. It is not used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a pressure regulator, flow meter, medical E-Oxygen cylinder, handle, shroud, hose barb connection, protective cap, content gauge, and integrated regulator. The performance studies also focus on the testing of these physical components (aluminum cylinders, regulator ignition resistance, pressure shock tests). There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

Based on the provided information, the EZ-OX Plus is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide supplemental oxygen to adults for oxygen deficiency and resuscitation. This is a direct therapeutic intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an integrated portable oxygen delivery system, including a cylinder, regulator, and flow meter. These components are used to deliver gas to the patient.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body. The EZ-OX Plus is designed to deliver a substance (oxygen) directly to the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The aluminum cylinders conform to the requirements of 49 CFR 178.46. Specification seamless aluminum cylinders.
The ASTM G 175 evaluates the regulator's sensitivity to ignition by subjecting the regulator to two basic tests.
One test requires subjecting the regulator to pressure shock tests according to ISO 10524. The integrated valve-regulator was tested for resistance to ignition in accordance to European Standard EN-738-3. Testing for resistance to ignition by EN-738-3 is equivalent to the ignition test in ISO 10524. The test requires subjecting the regulator to maximum temperature and to pressure shocks, up to maximum pressure, to demonstrate no ignition or damage to internal parts or areas within the regulator. As required by the standard, these pressure shock tests are conducted in various configurations of the regulator valve and shut-off valve.
The second test evaluates the regulator's behavior when subjected to a positive ignition source to simulate ignition by particle impact. The integrated valve-regulator has been tested for ignition in accordance to EN-738-3, equivalent to ISO 10524. These recognized standards do not require ASTM G 175 test using a positive ignition source to simulate ignition by particle impact. However, the regulator is designed to decrease the risk of ignition by particle impact by incorporating a 60 micron filter at the filling connection, a 60 micron filter at the valve-regulator inlet, and a 20 micron filter in the seat of the regulator.
