No.
The device is described as a smoke evacuator system designed to remove and filter surgical smoke and aerosols, not to treat a disease or condition in a patient.
No
The device is a smoke evacuator system designed to remove and filter smoke and aerosols during surgical procedures, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components like an aluminum housing, polyurethane panel, centrifugal pump, and multi-stage filter, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software for control.
Based on the provided information, the RapidVac™ Smoke Evacuator System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to remove and filter smoke and aerosols from a surgical site during procedures. This is a function performed on the patient's body or in the immediate surgical environment, not on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a system for air filtration and suction, not for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The RapidVac™ Smoke Evacuator System's function is entirely focused on managing the surgical environment.

Device Description
The RapidVac™ Smoke Evacuator System consists of a painted aluminum housing, a painted solid polyurethane front panel, a high suction/high flow rate variable speed centrifugal action pump, and a multi stage filter. The system can also use accessories such as sterile tubing sets in various sizes/diameters which are single-use and are used in conjunction with ultrasonic, laser or electrosurgery generators to remove and filter the smoke from the surgical field,.
The RapidVac™ Smoke Evacuator System captures particulates and adsorbs gases from surgical smoke. The smoke evacuator is specifically designed to improve visibility and reduce potential health hazards associated with surgical smoke. It can be used in both open and laparoscopic procedures with available accessories. The RapidVac Smoke Evacuator System is designed with a high suction, high flow rate variable speed centrifygal action pump. The ultra-quiet motor is used to draw the smoke from the surgical site through the vacuum tubing and into the system where it is passed through four stages of filtration.

Summary of Performance Studies
The performance verification of the RapidVac Smoke Evacuator System showed that the device met the technical and performance design requirements. Filter life verification testing was conducted for the device to confirm that the ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) efficiency of the filter for the maximum flow rate (25 hours) and filter lifetime. Flow verification testing was conducted for the RapidVac device to verify flow performance outlined in the design specification. The results indicated that the product met all specified flow requirement for each mode of operation. Product verification and validation testing was confirm that the RapidVac Smoke Evacuator System meets all product requirements. Smoke removal verification testing was completed through flow verification testing. Reliability testing was conducted to demonstrate the of the device and show no degradation in performance over that life span. Laparoscopic Smoke Evacuation Verification was conducted for the RapidVac Smoke Evacuation System to confirm the ability to maintain pneumoperitoneum while effectively clearing smoke. Smoke Removal Effectiveness was also conducted with the subject device to demonstrate and quantify via particulate count, the ability of RapidVac to remove aerosols from electrosurgical and laser surgeries.

Filter life verification testing was conducted for the device to confirm that the ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) efficiency of the filter for the maximum flow rate (25 hours) and filter lifetime. Flow verification testing was conducted for the RapidVac device to verify flow performance outlined in the design specification. The results indicated that the product met all specified flow requirement for each mode of operation. Product verification and validation testing was confirm that the RapidVac Smoke Evacuator System meets all product requirements. Smoke removal verification testing was completed through flow verification testing. Reliability testing was conducted to demonstrate the of the device and show no degradation in performance over that life span. Laparoscopic Smoke Evacuation Verification was conducted for the RapidVac Smoke Evacuation System to confirm the ability to maintain pneumoperitoneum while effectively clearing smoke. Smoke Removal Effectiveness was also conducted with the subject device to demonstrate and quantify via particulate count, the ability of RapidVac to remove aerosols from electrosurgical and laser surgeries.
There was no clinical or pre-clinical performance testing needed to determine the performance of the RapidVac™ Smoke Evacuator System and to make a substantial equivalence comparison.
