Intended Use
The DDI Ultrasonic Nebulizer System is an ultrasonic (vibrating mesh) nebulizer system designed to aerosolize medications for inhalation by the patient. The device may be used with pediatric and adult patients in the home, hospital, and sub-acute care settings.
Device Description
The DDI Ultrasonic Nebulizer System is a mesh screen ultrasonic nebulizer that operates in an identical fashion as other mesh screen nebulizers. The device creates aerosols of liquid medication by ejection of droplets from a mesh vibrated at ultrasonic frequencies and provide fine particles to the patient's lungs. The DDI Ultrasonic Nebulizer System is powered by a cable connecting to a 115 VAC power source with the AC adapter or two AA alkaline batteries.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard ultrasonic nebulizer and explicitly states that mentions of AI, DNN, or ML were "Not Found".

Yes
The device is designed to aerosolize medications for inhalation, directly providing a therapeutic effect to the patient's lungs.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an ultrasonic nebulizer system designed to aerosolize medications for inhalation, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It does not mention analyzing patient data to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a mesh screen, power cable, AC adapter, and battery power, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "aerosolize medications for inhalation by the patient." This describes a device used to deliver medication directly to a patient's respiratory system.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device creates an aerosol from liquid medication for inhalation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

The device is a medical device used for drug delivery, specifically a nebulizer.

NONCLINICAL AND CLINICAL TEST 807.92(b)

Electrical Safety

The electrical performance of the DDI Ultrasonic Nebulizer System meets the requirements of the following standards:

IEC 60601: 1988 + A1: 1991 + A2: 1996 EN 60601-1:1990 +A1: 1993 + A2: 1995 +A13: 1996 EN 60 601-1-2:2001

CONCLUSION

807.92(b)(3)

The DDI Ultrasonic Nebulizer System and the predicate devices use a micro pore mesh vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies to produce aerosol. All of the performance parameters of the devices are statistically identical, and do not raise any new safety or efficacy. All devices are similar in:

  • Intended Use .
  • Materials ●
  • Design ●
  • Technological Characteristics .

The DDI Ultrasonic Nebulizer System introduces no new questions concerning the safety or effectiveness and is thus substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
