No
The device description details a purely mechanical device that uses a ball and piston to indicate volume and flow rate. There is no mention of any computational or data-driven components that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended as an "inspiratory deep breathing positive exerciser" to help patients improve their inspiratory volume and respiratory function, which is a therapeutic goal.
No
The device is described as an "inspiratory deep breathing positive exerciser" and "lung exerciser" intended to help patients improve their inspiratory volume and respiratory capacity, without any mention of diagnosing a condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a flexible tube, mouthpiece, chamber, ball, and piston, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Besmed Volumetric Incentive Spirometer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is intended as an "inspiratory deep breathing positive exerciser" to help patients improve their respiratory capacity and inspiratory volume. This is a therapeutic and rehabilitative purpose, not a diagnostic one.
- Mechanism of Action: The device works by providing visual feedback (ball and piston movement) to the patient during inhalation, encouraging them to take deeper breaths and improve lung function. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a disease or condition.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of the device and how it facilitates breathing exercises. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described focus on volume accuracy and repeatability, comparing the device's ability to measure inhaled volume to a predicate device. This is relevant to the device's function as a breathing exerciser, not as a diagnostic tool.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The Besmed Volumetric Incentive Spirometer does not fit this definition. It is a medical device used for therapeutic and rehabilitative purposes related to respiratory function.

Device Description
The Besmed Volumetric Incentive Spirometer has a flexible tube and mouthpiece which the patient inhales through. This tube connects to the inspiration port of the unit. The chamber has a ball and piston which upon the patient inhaling, creates a vacuum, which causes the ball and piston to rise, the piston reflects the inspiratory volume while the ball is an indicator for the user to maintain the optimum inspiratory flow rate. Two (2) models are offered - 2500 cc and 5000 cc. It is a single patient, multi-use, disposable, non-sterile device. The mouthpiece may be removed and cleaned by the user as needed but the main device is not to be cleaned.
As a patient improves their respiratory capacity or gets stronger they improve their inspiratory volume raising the piston. The principle of the ball indicator is to provide the user a visual indicator of their inspiratory flow rate and help them to improve the respiratory function with repeated uses. Incentive spirometers are commonly referred to as "lung exercisers".
The Besmed Volumetric ICS achieves the therapeutic intent by helping the patient to improve their inspiratory volume. It is a relative improvement device that as described offers the patient the "incentive" to improve. This is the identical therapeutic intent of the predicate volume based incentive spirometer.
