Intended Use
The intended function and use of the SWR International AXS-590Hi and AXS-590i oxygen concentrators is to provide supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory disorders, by separating nitrogen from room air, by way of a molecular sieve. It is not intended to sustain or support life.
Device Description
The AXS-590Hi and AXS-590i oxygen concentrators are designed to provide an inexpensive supply of supplemental oxygen in a home or institution without a continuous source of purified oxygen. They are not life-supporting or lifesustaining devices. Both the SWR AXS-590Hi and AXS-590i oxygen concentrators and the predicate Invacare Platinum oxygen concentrators are of the pressure-swing-adsorber (PSA) variety. In PSA type oxygen concentrator devices, the molecular sieve material operates as a catalyst that binds with the water and nitrogen in filtered room air to leave a gas that is typically not less than 85% oxygen when delivered to the patient. Air is exposed, at a certain pressure, to molecular sieve material that selectively retains nitrogen and other components until they are subsequently released when the pressure is reduced, thus the term pressure-swing. The compressor creates a vacuum to suck room air through a pre-filter into a holding tank. At the same time, downstream of the compressor, the air from the previous cycle is pressurized into one of the two aluminum molecular sieve tanks. As the oxygen is forced out of the end of the tank, it enters a "T" fitting that directs most of the gas to flush the nitrogen out of the second molecular sieve tank into the ambient air. The remaining oxygen is delivered to the patient. On the next cycle, the air is directed into the second molecular sieve tank with the oxygen generated flushing the first tank and continuing the supply to the patient. This repetitive cycle generates the oxygen necessary to flush and prepare the saturated sieve tank while supplying the patient with a continuous flow of high concentration oxygen.

Not Found

No
The description details a mechanical process (pressure-swing adsorption) for oxygen concentration and does not mention any AI/ML components or functions.

Yes
The device is intended to provide supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory disorders, which is a therapeutic function.

No

This device is an oxygen concentrator, which provides supplemental oxygen to patients. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like detecting, diagnosing, or monitoring a disease or condition. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details hardware components like compressors, molecular sieve tanks, and filters, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory disorders by separating nitrogen from room air. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical process of air filtration and oxygen concentration. It does not involve analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) which is the hallmark of an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition.

The device is clearly described as a medical device used for delivering oxygen to a patient, which falls under a different regulatory category than in vitro diagnostics.

6. Intended Use of the Device:

The intended function and use of the SWR International AXS-590Hi and AXS-590i oxygen concentrators is to provide supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory disorders, by separating nitrogen from room air, by way of a molecular sieve. It is not intended to sustain or support life.

  • Comparison of technological characteristics with Predicate Device: 7. The AXS-590Hi and AXS-590i oxygen concentrators perform the same function as the Invacare Platinum oxygen concentrator and performs this function by the same methodology (molecular sieve).

8. Discussion of Non-clinical Studies:

The AXS-590Hi and AXS-590i oxygen concentrators have had extensive bench testing performed. This testing was designed to insure compliance with the standards identified in sections 9 and 18 of this submission. The testing was also performed to show that the devices meet the requirements specifications and that hazard mitigations are effective.

9. Conclusion:

The AXS-590Hi and AXS-590i oxygen concentrators are as safe and effective as the predicate device and provide an inexpensive supply of supplemental oxygen in a home or institution without a continuous source of purified oxygen.
