No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description points to a mechanical or electronic regulator for oxygen flow.

No.
The device is a regulator for a portable oxygen tank, which is used for oxygen therapy. The regulator itself is not a therapeutic device but an accessory for delivering therapy.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an "oxygen tank for supplemental oxygen therapy," which is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly refers to a "Conserving Device Regulator," which is a hardware component used with oxygen tanks. The summary does not mention any software-only aspects.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "supplemental oxygen therapy for in home or ambulatory application," used in conjunction with a portable oxygen tank. This describes a device used on a patient to deliver a therapeutic gas, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • Device Description: The device names (Flo-Rite, etc.) and the description of its function (regulating oxygen flow from a tank) are consistent with a medical device used for respiratory support, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens.
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition.
    • Using reagents or assays.
    • Measuring biomarkers.

Therefore, the Flo-Rite Conserving Device Regulator is a medical device, but it falls under a different regulatory category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Thie:

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.
