The device description focuses on mechanical components and pressure regulation, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.
Yes
The Intended Use section states that the device is intended for "treating mild symptoms consistent with Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)". Treating a condition indicates a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device description and intended use indicate it is for treating symptoms consistent with Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) by providing a pressurized environment, not for diagnosing any condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical hyperbaric chamber with various hardware components (chamber, compressor, valves, gauges, etc.). 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 to treat mild symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) by providing a hyperbaric environment. This is a therapeutic treatment applied directly to a patient.
- Device Description: The description details a physical chamber that a person enters to receive pressurized air.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.
Therefore, the Flexi-Lite Hyperbaric chamber is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Flexi-Lite Hyperbaric chamber is a hyperbaric chamber intended to be used in treating mild symptoms consistent with Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) as prescribed by or under the direction of a physician.
Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

Device Description
The Flexi-Lite flexible hyperbaric chamber is a mild hyperbaric chamber for pressures less than 4 psi. This lightweight and portable chamber utilizes atmospheric Air as supplied by a GAST model 0523/1023 "oil-less, breathable air compressor" to pressurize the chamber and provide a suitable environment for the occupant. The Flexi-Lite construction utilizes a dual bag design with the inner the ooonpining the pressure and an exterior bag to provide structural support. All components are attached to the inner bag utilizing bulkhead connections. It is outfitted with two externally mounted metal relief valves (set at 4 psi), two metal Air addition valves (one external & one internal), two metal depressurization valves (one external & one internal), two pressure gauges (one external & one internal), and one metal Air sampling port. In total it weighs 39 lbs (compressor adds another 54 lbs).
