Intended Use
The Res-Q Continuous Nebulizer is a device to used under the medical supervision in hospital, nursing homes, extended care facilities and outpatient clinics. The Res-Q Continuous Nebulizer is a high output nebulizer to be used to deliver aerosolized medications and diagnostic formulations. It provides additional hydration to help loosen secretions for patients whom extended therapy is required. Patient population: Asthma, pneumonia, COPD, or any other condition in which sympathomimetic ammines, parasympathetic ammines, or other appropriate medications would be nebulized. The Res-Q Continuous Nebulizer requires 50 psig source gas. HE air or oxygen may be added via Multi-gas inlet.

No
The summary describes a standard nebulizer and makes no mention of AI, ML, or any related computational techniques.

Yes
The device is used to deliver aerosolized medications and diagnostic formulations for medical conditions, which inherently serves a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as delivering "aerosolized medications and diagnostic formulations," but its primary function is medication delivery and secretion loosening, not disease diagnosis. While it can deliver "diagnostic formulations," it is not itself performing the diagnosis.

No

The description clearly states the device is a "nebulizer" and requires a "50 psig source gas," indicating it is a hardware device that delivers aerosolized medications. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, the Res-Q Continuous Nebulizer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Res-Q Continuous Nebulizer Function: The description clearly states the device is used to "deliver aerosolized medications and diagnostic formulations" and provides "additional hydration." It's a device that administers substances into the body, not one that analyzes samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use focuses on treating respiratory conditions by delivering medication, not on diagnosing conditions through sample analysis.

Therefore, the Res-Q Continuous Nebulizer falls under the category of a therapeutic or drug delivery device, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Miller:

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 Eederal Register.
