The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and chemical properties of anesthetic vapor adsorption, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is described as preventing unwanted anesthetic vapors from reaching a patient, acting as a scavenger for anesthetic gases, rather than directly treating a patient's medical condition or disease.
No
The device is designed to remove unwanted anesthetic gases from a patient breathing circuit, preventing them from reaching the patient. It does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly states it uses "two anesthetic vapor adsorbent canisters connected to an anesthesia delivery system," which are physical hardware components. The performance studies also describe bench testing of physical properties like adsorption rate, burst pressure, and back-pressure.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Intended Use: The intended use of this device is "To remove unwanted anesthetic gases from the patient breathing circuit." This is a function related to the delivery and management of anesthetic gases during a medical procedure, not the analysis of biological specimens.
- Device Description: The description details a system for adsorbing anesthetic vapors from a breathing circuit, which is an external system connected to the patient, not a device for analyzing samples taken from the patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any aspects related to specimen collection, preparation, analysis of biological samples, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
The device described is a component of an anesthesia delivery system, designed to manage the gases within that system. It does not perform any diagnostic testing on biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The bench testing of the Vapor-Clear device demonstrates that the device is capable of removing unwanted anesthetic gases from the breathing circuit with greater efficiency and capacity than the predicate device. The testing also shows that the Vapor-Clear is capable of scavenging greater than 99% of the residual anesthetic vapors emitted by an anesthesia gas machine after the vaporizer has been turned off. Multiple gas removal testing demonstrated than 99% of anesthetic agent is removed for each anesthetic agent (desflurane, isoflurane and sevoflurane). Testing demonstrated that the activated charcoal used in the device is capable of capturing a volume of anesthetic gas that is well beyond what is emitted by an anesthesia gas machine after the vaporizer has been turned off. Testing using aged activated charcoal granules demonstrate that the device will perform as specified throughout the product lifetime. Environmental and mechanical testing demonstrates that the leak, back pressure and internal volume of the device are sufficiently small that installation of the device will not interfere with delivery of mechanical ventilation during an anesthetic and that the device is sufficiently rugged to withstand the rigors of shipping and storage.
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)
- Anesthetic adsorption rate: Vapor-Clear scavenges >99.95% of isoflurane at a high flow rate
- Scavenging residual vapor from 2 models of modern anesthesia gas machines: Residual vapor exceeds the 5 ppm limit for 78 minutes in the Apollo and 58 minutes in the Aestiva following termination of vapor delivery without the Vapor-Clear. Using, the Vapor-Clear, inspired isoflurane concentration stays below 1 ppm for the duration of the test following termination of vapor delivery. The Vapor-Clear scavenger decreased the concentration of inspiratory isoflurane to less than 1 ppm throughout the tests in both the Draeger Apollo and the Ohmeda Aestiva anesthesia gas machines
- Anesthetic removal capacity test: A single Vapor-Clear canister removes 1300 ml of isoflurane before a removal rate of less than 99% is observed.
- Test adsorption using various anesthetic vapors: Greater than 99% of anesthetic is removed regardless of which of the three agents (isoflurane, sevoflurane or desflurane) is used.
- Product life testing: Initial adsorption of >99% was observed. No degradation of anesthetic gas removal capacity was observed when using the aged product.
- Environmental testing: No change in device performance was observed following the environmental stresses.
- Internal volume testing: The internal volume of the device is 92 ml. The internal compliance is 14 ml/kPa.
- Burst testing: The Vapor-Clear burst at a pressure of 70 pounds per square inch.
- Back-pressure tests: Added back pressure of 0.5 cm H₂O at 30 L/min was observed
- Leak test: No leak (0.0 ml/min) was detectable.
