No
The description focuses on mechanical filtration and basic software for programming run times and fan speeds, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is an air filter that removes airborne particles for medical purposes, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition in a patient.

No.
The device is described as an air purification system designed to filter airborne particles, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly indicates that the device is a physical air purification system with hardware components (filters, fan, power switch, control knobs, display panel). While one model includes software for programming and display, the core function and components are hardware-based.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "filtering airborne particles from air for medical purposes." This describes a physical process of air purification, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details an air purification system with filters, fans, and controls. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological specimens (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition.
    • Using reagents or calibrators.

The device is clearly described as an air cleaner designed to improve air quality for medical purposes, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Air Filtration Systems - Air Cleaners - Air Purifiers Common Name: Proprietary Name: Airistar Air Purification System (Model 500 & Model 1000)

Classification:

Regulation # 880.5045; Class 2 Product Code FRF

Description: The Airistar Air Purification Systems - Model 1000 are medical air cleaners designed to help remove particulate matter from the air. These systems are for home use and use in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, offices, etc.

The Model 500 Airistar Air Purification System contains software and a display panel to program runs times and fan speeds, the panel also displays filter life indicator bar. The Model 1000 Airistar Air Purification System is operated via a power switch and control knobs to adjust the fan speed. Both models have 3 fan speeds and contain a 6 Stage filter system.

Intended Use: Airistar Air Purification Systems (Model 1000) are intended for use in filtering airborne particles from air for medical purposes.

Predicate Devices: The Airistar Air Purification System is substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices.

Hepa-Care Air Cleaner, Model HC400F & HC400E-UV by Abatement Technologies, Inc. 510(k) #: K984116

MOBILE PARTICULATE CONTAMINATION CONTROL SYSTEM, Airex, Inc. 510(k) #: K023693

Advanced Air Cleaner System, Healthway Products, 510(k) #: K012549

Safety and Effectiveness and Summary and Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence:

By definition, a device is substantially equivalent when the device has the same intended use and the Dy delimition, a al characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but it can be demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and the new device does not raise different questions regarding safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.

The minor differences between the Airistar Air Purification Systems (Model 500 & Model 1000) and the predicate devices cited do not raise any additional questions regarding safety and effectiveness. The intended use of the Airistar Air Purification Systems (Model 500 & Model 1000) is the same as the intended use of the predicate devices.

The device, as designed, is as safe and effective as the predicate device, and the device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate device.

Bench testing has confirmed the devices' ability to remove particles efficiently. The filters have been tested and listed by Underwriters Laboratory testing showed the UV lamp produced zero ozone.

Dear Mr. Job:

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.
