Intended Use
The intended use of the Wright/Haloscale Respirometer is the measurement and monitoring of the level of lung ventilation achieved by intensive care patients, during anesthesia and post operative recovery. It measures expired volumes and thus indicates whether adequate ventilation is being achieved, whether in open or closed circuit or spontaneously breathing or mechanically ventilated patients.
Device Description
The Respirometer is a mechanically driven dial, where the dial indicates gas volume passed, and the mechanism is driven by the kinetic energy in the flowing gas. The device measures expirate gas flow and measurements are unaffected by inspirate gas flow. It has an on/off button to lock the pointer and a reset button to return the pointer to zero when it approaches full scale
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description clearly states it is a mechanically driven dial powered by kinetic energy, with no mention of computational processing or AI/ML terms.

No

The device is described as a measurement and monitoring tool that indicates the level of lung ventilation. It does not actively treat or modify a physiological function.

Yes

The device measures and monitors lung ventilation to indicate whether adequate ventilation is being achieved, which is a diagnostic function to assess a patient's physiological state.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "mechanically driven dial" and "driven by the kinetic energy in the flowing gas," indicating it is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Wright/Haloscale Respirometer is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Function: The Wright/Haloscale Respirometer directly measures the volume of expired gas from a patient's lungs. It does not analyze a specimen derived from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure and monitor lung ventilation by measuring expired volumes, which is a direct physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. A monitoring spirometer is a device used to measure continuously a patient's tidal volume (volume of gas inhaled by the patient during each respiration cycle) or minute volume (the tidal volume multiplied by the rate of respiration for 1 minute) for the evaluation of the patient's ventilatory status.(b)
