Intended Use
The ComfortGel Full Face Mask is intended to provide an interface for application of CPAP or bi-level therapy to patients. The mask is for multi-patient use in the home or hospital/institutional environment. The mask is to be used on patients (>66 Ibs/30 kg) for whom CPAP or bi-level therapy has been prescribed using a CPAP or bi-level system.
Device Description
The Respironics ComfortGel Full Face Mask consists of a polycarbonate faceplate with a gel cushion encapsulated in a urethane seal for the face. The mask includes exhalation ports and an entrainment valve that allows the patient to breath room air if positive pressure is discontinued. The integrated entrainment valve elbow is polycarbonate with a silicone flapper. The function of the entrainment valve is unchanged from K002465 and K954207, based on performance data. The mask with the integrated entrainment valve has integrated exhalation features that are located on the top of the valve. A separate exhalation device is not required for the integrated entrainment valve design. The mask faceplate contains a socket for attachment of the headgear via use of a mushroom-shaped "quick clip" mechanism. The mask is available in three sizes - small, medium and large. The Respironics ComfortGel Full Face Mask is intended for use with a patient circuit that is used to connect a therapy device to the patient interface device (mask). A typical patient circuit consists of a sixfoot disposable or reusable smooth lumen 22mm tubing, a method of venting exhaled gases.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and materials, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing of data for diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring.

Yes
The device is used to apply CPAP or bi-level therapy, which are forms of medical treatment for respiratory conditions.

No
The document describes a ComfortGel Full Face Mask intended for therapy (CPAP or bi-level therapy), not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a faceplate, gel cushion, urethane seal, exhalation ports, entrainment valve, and headgear attachment mechanism. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The ComfortGel Full Face Mask is an interface device used to deliver air pressure (CPAP or bi-level therapy) to a patient's respiratory system. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for applying therapy, not for diagnostic testing.

The device description and intended use align with a respiratory support device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
