The ConchaSmart Column is used by inserting the column into the center of the Neptune Heated Humidifier.
More Information

No
The summary describes a disposable humidifier cartridge, an accessory to a heated humidifier. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML. The performance studies section also indicates no performance testing was required, which would be unusual for a device incorporating complex AI/ML algorithms.

No
The device provides heated humidification but does not inherently treat a disease or condition; it is an accessory used with a humidifier and ventilator for patient comfort and support.

No
The device provides heated humidification, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It assists with patient care rather than identifying or monitoring a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single use, disposable humidifier cartridge," which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide heated humidification for patients using a humidifier and ventilator circuits. This is a therapeutic and supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a disposable humidifier cartridge, an accessory to a heated humidifier. This aligns with a respiratory support device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing information for the diagnosis of a disease or condition.

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. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Amanda Webb:

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.
