Device Description
The Ekom model DK50 DS is a portable air compressor designed to supply air to medical equipment, i.e., ventilators. The Model DK50 DS contain an oil-free piston compressor driven by a low maintenance single phase electric motor. Compressed air is cooled where condensed water is separated into a vessel. Incoming air passes through 2 filters and undergoes double filtration as it passes through the system. Constant output pressure is maintained by a pressure regulator. There is a built-in air tank which allows peak air consumption of 200 Lpm. The device may be used as a standby source of air. In this configuration, the respiratory equipment is supplied with compressed air from the facilities central air distribution. Air pressure in this central distribution is sensed by the Ekom pressure sensor. If the pressure is sufficient, the compressor stays in the STANDBY mode. If the pressure falls the compressor automatically starts and becomes the main air supply. When the compressor is used as the main source, the control unit determines its operation according to the current need for air. If air consumption is zero, the device switches to STANDBY. The compressor is equipped with indicators for output pressure, operation hours, power status, drying efficiency and battery condition as well as acoustic and optic alarms to warn of high operating temperature, low output pressure and loss power.
More Information

No
The description details a mechanical air compressor with standard control logic based on pressure sensing and air consumption. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for control, analysis, or any other function.

No.
The device is an air compressor that supplies compressed air to medical ventilators; it does not directly treat a medical condition.

No

This device is described as an air compressor for medical ventilators, meaning it supplies air for the operation of other medical equipment. It does not perform any diagnostic functions or analyze medical data to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical air compressor with mechanical and electrical components, including a piston compressor, electric motor, filters, pressure regulator, air tank, and control unit. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "supplying compressed air for medical ventilators." This is a device that provides a physical resource (compressed air) to another medical device (a ventilator).
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical system for compressing and filtering air. It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The device is clearly a medical device, but its function is to support the operation of another medical device (a ventilator), not to perform in vitro diagnostic testing.
