More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical valve for delivering positive end-expiratory pressure and does not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a "positive end expiratory pressure valve" used "to increase end lung pressure above atmospheric in constant flow conditions" for infant patients, which constitutes a therapeutic action.

No.

The device is described as a positive end expiratory pressure valve intended to increase end lung pressure, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It does not analyze patient data to provide diagnostic insights.

No

The device description and performance studies clearly indicate a physical valve component, not a software-only solution.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to increase end lung pressure in infant patients. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a device used to increase lung pressure, aligning with a therapeutic purpose.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing information for diagnosis or monitoring of a disease or condition based on in vitro analysis.

The device is a medical device used for respiratory support, specifically positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in infants.
