No
The description focuses on standard heating and humidification mechanisms with temperature and humidity control based on user settings, not on adaptive learning or data-driven decision making. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
Yes
The device description explicitly states: "A respiratory gas humidifier is identified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a therapeutic device."
No
The device is described as a "respiratory gas humidifier" intended to warm and add humidity to breathing gases. It is identified as a "therapeutic device" by the FDA and its function is to condition gases for patient administration, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a humidification chamber, water supply, breathing tubes, temperature probes, interface cables, brackets, and heated wire circuits. While it mentions software compliance (IEC60601-1-4), the core functionality and components are physical.
Based on the provided text, the device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for warming and adding humidity to breathing gases administered to a patient. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details how the device physically modifies the breathing gas (heating water to add vapor) and delivers it to the patient. This aligns with a therapeutic device.
- FDA Classification: The text explicitly states the device is classified as a "respiratory gas humidifier according to a 21 CFR §868.5450." This FDA classification is for therapeutic devices, not IVDs.
- Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information for the diagnosis of a disease or condition.
The device is a therapeutic device used in respiratory care.

Device Description
Thera-Heat™ Heated Humidifier
The Thera-Heat™ Heated Humidifier system is a respiratory gas humidificr according to a 21 CFR §868.5450. A respiratory gas humidifier is identified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a therapeutic device that is intended to warm and add humidity.
Respiratory gas humidifiers are used by clinicians to raise the water content of gases delivered to patients. Gases available for medical use do not always have sufficient moisture and may damage or irritate the respiratory tract or desiccate tracheobronchial secretions of patients whose airways have been bypassed. The Thera-Heat™ Heated Humidifier system warms and adds water vapor to the inspired gas by heating water within the humidification chamber as the dry gas passes over the warmed water. The humidification chamber is an auto-fill style. The water supply (liquid reservoir) is a prefilled sterile water reservoir that connects to a filling port on the humidification chamber. When the liquid reservoir is empty, the caregiver will exchange it with a new one. After the gas is warmed and humidified it is channeled to the breathing tube for delivery to the patient.
The system can be operated using a conventional breathing tube (non-heated Adult versions only) in both limbs, or a heated breathing tube in the inspiratory limb only (Adult and Neonate versions), or a heated breathing tube in both limbs (Adult and Neonate versions). The purpose of the heated breathing tube is to regulate the gas temperature from the humidification chamber to the patient thereby reducing condensation and pooling of water and controlling the relative humidity. Thera-Heat™ Heated Humidifier sets and controls the heating of the humidification chamber and the breathing tube. The caregiver first sets the unit to the desired patient temperature and then sets a humidity value that is scaled by the controller based on the desired patient temperature. Thera-Heat™ Heated Humidifier will maintain the selected temperature at the patient and the humidification chamber output temperature based on the humidity value.
Accessories for the Thera-Heat™ Heated Humidifier include the humidification (water) chambers, temperature probes, interface cables and brackets.
Neonate Heated Wire Ventilator Breathing Circuits
A Heated Wire Ventilator Breathing Circuit is a disposable device compromised of 10 mm corrugated plastic tubing, 22 mm plastic tube connectors, and an electrical heaterwire harness subassembly. After the gas is warmed and humidified in the water chamber it is delivered through the inspiratory limb of the breathing circuit to the patient. Heating of the breathing tube is provided and controlled by the Thera-Heat™ Heated Humidifier. The breathing circuits may be comprised of a dual limb (Adult and Neonate versions) or single limb circuit (Adult versions only). The purpose of the heated wire ventilator breathing circuits is to maintain or raise the gas temperature to or above the dew point reducing or eliminating water condensation and/or pooling of water in the breathing circuit. Other accessories such as water traps, etc. can be added in to the overall assembly creating different product variations.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical testing of the Thera-Heat™ Heated Humidifier and Neonate Heated Wire Ventilator Breathing Circuits have been conducted including mechanical, electrical, and software for functional performance, temperature accuracy under environmental conditions, and test standards for electromagnetic immunity. The Thera-Heat™ Heated Humidifier meets the safety requirements of UL60601-1/IEC 60601-1, and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60601.1. The device also meets the electromagnetic compliance requirements of IEC60601-1-2, and software compliance requirement of IEC60601-1-4 to the acceptance of Underwriters Laboratories and complies with the performance and safety standards including ASTM F1690 (USA) and ISO8185 for active humidification with the following exception. Clause 51.6.2 the Thera-Heat™ generates a high priority alarm in the event that the airway temperature is at or above 41℃. This event does cause the Thera-Heat™ to generate an alarm and stops the heating of the humidification chamber and the heated circuit. This behavior is described in the operator's manual Alarm section.
