The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and filtration properties of a passive heat and moisture exchanger and filter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device's intended use is to provide humidification and filtration for ventilator gases, not to directly treat a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a Heat and Moisture Exchanger and Filter (HMEF), indicated for humidification and filtration during ventilator gas delivery. Its function is to modify gases rather than diagnose a patient's condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical device made of plastic with an electrostatic/mechanical filter pad and connectors. The performance studies focus on physical and material properties, not software functionality.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for humidifying ventilator gases and providing filtration for reducing cross-contamination between patient and equipment. This is a function related to the delivery of respiratory support, not the diagnosis of a disease or condition using samples from the human body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical device with connectors for respiratory equipment and a filter pad. It does not describe components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical characteristics (filtration efficiency, pressure drop, volume, moisture loss) and biocompatibility. These are relevant to a respiratory device, not an IVD. The "in-vitro tests" mentioned are related to the performance of the filter itself (like bacterial and viral filtration efficiency), not the analysis of patient samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a respiratory accessory or component, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

ISO 9360: Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment-Heat and moisture exchangers (HMEs) for humidifying respired gases in humans-Part 1:HMEs for use with minimum tidal volumes of 250 ml
Design verification tests (as well as an evaluation under ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process) were conducted on the HMEF as a result of the resulting risk analysis and product requirements.
It must be noted that the HMEF is provided non-sterile. Therefore, all corresponding sterilization tests are not necessary and were not performed.

Substantial Equivalence:
The intended use and indications for use for the proposed device are the same as the predicate devices.
The comparison of the data demonstrates similar values for the key performance data. The VRM HMEF devices demonstrate similar values in filtration efficiency, internal volume, pressure drop and recommended tidal volumes when compared to the legally marketed devices.
It must be pointed out that there is an interdependency regarding filtration efficiency. moisture loss, internal volume and pressure drop. A higher amount of media will result in a higher efficiency in filtration or humidification but with the consequence of having more internal volume and higher pressure drop.
The main differences that may influence the technological characteristics between the proposed device and the predicate devices are the different shape and size of the housing. The shape of the proposed device is cuboid-shaped, but the predicate devices are cylindershaped. These differences can influence the performance of internal volume and related performances, but as the designed volume of the housing is substantial equivalent to predicate devices, the proposed device have the similar internal volume and related performances as the predicated devices. Thus the differences between the subject device and the predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. .
The Heat and Moisture Exchanger and Filter is manufactured from K-Resin (Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer Plastic), Polyurethane (PU), Synthetic fibers (Polyolefin), Paper glass fibers. All materials have been evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993-1 Biological Evaluation of Medical Device -Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process and FDA General Program Memorandum #G95-1. Thus, VR Medical conducted two confirmatory in-vitro tests (utilize both polar and non-polar solvents) and five confirmatory tests (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, genotoxicity, and implantation) which confirmed the acceptable biocompatible status of these materials,
