Intended Use
The AL-6000 is intended to measure alcohol in the human breath. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis of alcoholic intoxication. The AL-6000 Breath Alcohol Tester is a screening device for the rapid detection of alcohol in the human breath. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis of alcoholic intoxication.
Device Description
The AL-6000 is a Breath Alcohol Tester designed to measure alcohol in the human breath. The AL-6000 meets or exceeds the requirements of the US DOT (Department of Transportation) and NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). The device takes a breath sample of at least three (3) seconds in order to capture an accurate "deep-lung air" sample. This sample is analyzed by a semiconductor-based gas sensor in order to calculate Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC), which is then converted to an equivalent Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC).
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on a semiconductor-based gas sensor and standard breath analysis, with no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

No
The device is used for diagnosis, specifically for measuring alcohol in breath to diagnose alcoholic intoxication, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes
The document states that "Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis of alcoholic intoxication."

No

The device description explicitly states it uses a semiconductor-based gas sensor to analyze breath samples, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the AL-6000 is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that measurements obtained by the device are used in the diagnosis of alcoholic intoxication. This is a key characteristic of an IVD device, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Specimen: The device analyzes human breath, which is a specimen derived from the human body.
  • Diagnostic Purpose: The results are used to aid in the diagnosis of a medical condition (alcoholic intoxication).

While the device description focuses on the technology and how it works, the intended use clearly places it within the realm of IVD devices.

Device Description

The AL-6000 is a Breath Alcohol Tester designed to measure alcohol in the human breath. The AL-6000 meets or exceeds the requirements of the US DOT (Department of Transportation) and NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). The device takes a breath sample of at least three (3) seconds in order to capture an accurate "deep-lung air" sample. This sample is analyzed by a semiconductor-based gas sensor in order to calculate Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC), which is then converted to an equivalent Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC).

The STK3100 semiconductor sensor consists primarily of a sensing layer and heating element, which is formed by an n-type semiconductor powder and heater, respectively. When the heater is powered in clean air, oxygen molecules in the air trap electrons in the semiconducting material after which they are chemically absorbed on the surface of the powder particles. However, when the STK3100 is exposed to ethanol vapor, the absorbed oxygen (O or Oz) reacts with the gas and is reduced. By this reaction, the electrons trapped by the oxygen are released and flow through the semiconductor, which means that resistance decreases and electrical conductivity increases.

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

Benchmark and safety testing, EMC/DOT testing and risk analysis, as well as practical user testing, reveal that the AL-6000 performs within the same ranges of safety and effectiveness as those of the predicate device. The AL-6000 and predicate device describe the same indications for use and similarly well-proven methods of technical analysis (breath alcohol to BAC using semiconductor oxide sensors). Results show that the devices are substantially equivalent.
