The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and functionality of a heated breathing circuit, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, decision-making, or control.
Yes.
The device is intended for use with individuals requiring mechanical ventilation and high flow therapy, delivering and warming breathing gases to maintain adequate ventilation and minimize breathing effort. These functions directly address a medical condition (respiratory support) and aim to improve patient health, consistent with the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is a heated wire circuit intended to deliver and warm breathing gases to patients, acting as a conduit between ventilators, humidifiers, and the patient. It does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "corrugated plastic tube with spiral resistance wires within the tubing that generate heat," indicating it is a physical hardware device.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The AirLife Adult Heated Wire BiPAP/NIV Circuit is described as a device that delivers and warms breathing gases to a patient's airway. It acts as a conduit for gases between ventilators, humidifiers, and the patient.
- No Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the device being used to analyze any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is purely related to delivering and conditioning breathing gases.
Therefore, the AirLife Adult Heated Wire BiPAP/NIV Circuit falls under the category of a medical device used for respiratory support, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

7. Comparison of technological characteristics with the predicate device
The fundamental scientific technology is the same for both proposed and predicate device. It is based on acting as an airway conduit between a breathing machine and the patient. The AirLife Adult Heated Wire BiPAP/NIV Circuit is substantially equivalent to the predicate device RT 219 BiLevel /CPAP Circuit regarding safety, effectiveness, design (technology), materials and intended use. The proposed AirLife Adult Heated Wire BiPAP/NIV Circuit is designed to operate at the same minimum flow rate of 3 LPM and maximum 60 LPM. Successful test results (specific enthalpy, humidity output and surface temperature) ensured that the flow rate of the proposed device does not raise any concerns regarding safety and effectiveness. The similarities and differences between the proposed device and the predicate device are outlined below:
