Intended Use
The intended use of the AG PLUS is to convert liquid medication into a fine mist that can be drawn into the lungs to treat respiratory conditions for adult and pediatric patients who have been prescribed inhalation therapy or medication. The AG PLUS compressor is to be used only with specific 510(k) cleared nebulizer whose input specifications may be met by the pressure and flow characteristics of the AG PLUS compressor. The initial nebulizer distributed with the AG PLUS compressor will be the Medel Jet Pro, the performance of which is contained in this 510(k) notification. The AG PLUS is transportable equipment intended for home health care use. The AG PLUS is not intended as a life sustaining or life support device.

No
The summary describes a compressor for a nebulizer, a mechanical device for delivering medication. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is described as treating respiratory conditions by converting liquid medication into a fine mist for inhalation, which is a therapeutic action.

No
The device, AG PLUS, is intended to deliver medication for treating respiratory conditions, not to diagnose them.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "compressor" which is a hardware component used to convert liquid medication into a mist. This is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to convert liquid medication into a mist for inhalation to treat respiratory conditions. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device is a compressor that works with a nebulizer to deliver medication. This is a physical process for drug delivery, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

Therefore, the AG PLUS falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, specifically a drug delivery device for respiratory conditions.

Dear Mr. O' Brien:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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 your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
