Intended Use
The EC50 ToxCO+ Breath Carbon Monoxide Monitor and accessories are used by healthcare professionals to determine levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Device Description
The EC50 ToxCO+ Breath Carbon Monoxide Monitor is a handheld device, which provides a non-invasive means of determining Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning and Carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) when blood testing is not available. The EC50 ToxCO+ Breath Carbon Monoxide Monitor is also ideal for use during triage to ensure suspected cases of CO poisoning are not missed. The EC50 ToxCO+ Breath Carbon Monoxide Monitor is a microprocessor-controlled device powered by 2 AA batteries with an Alphanumerice LCD display housed in a sturdy ABS case with a synthetic rubber boot. The EC50 ToxCO+ Breath Carbon Monoxide Monitor is designed to have an operating temperature between 0-30° C, operating humidity 10-95% non-condensing and has storage temperature requirements of 0-30° C. The sensor sensitivity is 1 pmm, has a warm up time of <10 seconds-90% FSD, an accuracy of ±5% of reading, a concentration range of 0-50% COHb/0-500ppm CO and an H2 Cross Interference of <40% @ 20° C. The sensor operating life is 2-3 years with a company warranty of 6 months and requires calibrations at 6-month intervals. The EC50 ToxCO+ Breath Carbon Monoxide Monitor is an easy to use handheld device that has three clearly marked buttons: ON button, CAL calibration button, RECALL button.

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on hardware components, basic microprocessor control, and standard sensor technology. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the provided text.

No.
The device is used for determining levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not actively treat or alleviate CO poisoning.

Yes
The device is used by healthcare professionals to determine levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning, providing a non-invasive means of determining CO poisoning and Carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb), which aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "handheld device" with hardware components like a microprocessor, LCD display, buttons, and a sensor, powered by batteries.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The EC50 ToxCO+ Breath Carbon Monoxide Monitor measures carbon monoxide levels in breath. This is a non-invasive measurement taken directly from the patient, not a test performed on a sample in vitro (outside the body).

Therefore, while it's a medical device used for diagnosis, it falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

7.2 Substantial Equivalence

The Bedfont EC50 ToxCO+, Bedfont piCO and Bedfont Smokerlyzer products are all part of the EC50 family, sharing similar electrochemical gas sensors for the detection of carbon monoxide. They share similar indications for use, accuracy, accessories and operating temperature ranges. All devices have similar power sources (Alkaline batteries) and meet general electrical standards IEC 60601-1. Bench testing has been carried out to ensure that the performance of the EC50 ToxCO+ is comparable with the predicate devices. Due to these similarities the ToxCO+ does not raise any new issues concerning safety and effectiveness.
