No
The summary describes a simple air filter and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as "Filtering out airborne particulates from air for medical purposes." While this serves a health-related purpose, it acts on the air, not directly on the body or to treat a specific medical condition. Therapeutic devices are typically defined by their direct interaction with the body for the purpose of treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of a disease or condition. This device seems more akin to a medical air purifier.

No
The device is described as filtering airborne particulates from the air for medical purposes, which is a therapeutic or preventative function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it analyzing, detecting, or predicting a medical condition.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a device for filtering airborne particulates, which is a hardware function, not a software-only function. The lack of a device description further supports this conclusion.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Filtering out airborne particulates from air for medical purposes." This describes a device that acts on the air itself, not on biological specimens (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) taken from the human body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.

The description clearly indicates a device that purifies air, which falls outside the scope of IVD devices.

Dear Mr. Wetzel:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
