Intended Use
The WEINMANNcomfort 2 is for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in adult patients. The optional integrated humidifier (WEINMANNaqua) is indicated for the humidification and warming of air from the WEINMANNcomfort 2 flow generator device. The WEINMANNcomfort 2 and WEINMANNaqua are for home and hospital use.
Device Description
The WEINMANNcomfort 2 is a microprocessor controlled blower-based device that generates a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) from 4 to 20 cmH2O for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The system includes the flow generator, patient tubing, external power supply, and an optional heated humidifier WEINMANNaqua. A radial compressor draws in ambient air via a filter and conveys it to the unit outlet. From here the air flows through the hose system and the mask to the patient. The WEINMANNcomfort 2 has one mode of operation (CPAP fixed-pressure mode). In this mode the flow generator provides a single fixed-pressure as set by the clinician. Automatic switch on/off can be activated on WEINMANNcomfort 2. The unit can then be switched on by breathing into the mask and will switch off when the mask is removed. The softstart automatic system is installed to help the patient fall asleep more easily. The optional breath humidifier WEINMANNaqua can be snapped onto the therapy unit. The air from the flow generator is directed over a water surface in the humidifier, which functions according to the pass-over principle.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a standard CPAP device with fixed pressure and basic automatic features (on/off, softstart). There is no mention of adaptive algorithms, learning capabilities, or any terms associated with AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in adult patients by generating a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as a treatment device (CPAP) for Obstructive Sleep Apnea, which generates and provides airflow at a set pressure. It does not mention any function for diagnosing or detecting OSA.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a microprocessor controlled blower, radial compressor, patient tubing, external power supply, and an optional heated humidifier. This indicates it is a physical device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the WEINMANNcomfort 2 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in adult patients by generating a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP). This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a blower-based system that delivers air pressure to the patient's airway. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) which is characteristic of IVD devices.
  • Lack of IVD-related terms: The description does not mention any terms related to in vitro diagnostics, such as "sample," "reagent," "assay," "analyte," "diagnosis," or "testing of biological specimens."

The WEINMANNcomfort 2 is a medical device used for therapy, specifically for treating a respiratory condition.

Dear Mr. Albers:

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.
