Intended Use
The Proxima is intended for prescription use only, to be used for adult patients that require supplemental oxygen in a hospital setting.
Device Description
The Proxima Model-100 is an electronic oxygen conserving device designed for use in a hospital environment. It incorporates a sensitive pressure sensor to detect inhalation, an electronic valve to deliver precise volume of oxygen and a graphical touch screen interface. In pulsed mode the Proxima delivers flows equivalent to 1 to 15 liters per minute of continuous oxygen flow. The volume of each bolus is calculated such that the patient receives the equivalent of the set volume regardless of how slow their breath rate is. To make sure the patient receives oxygen, even if inhalation is not detected, the Proxima automatically changes from pulsed to continuous oxygen flow at the set flow rate if inhalation is not detected for 15 seconds. Proxima displays a warning message to indicate low battery, low oxygen supply pressure, dislodged cannula, lack of inhalation and low nasal airflow. The Proxima is powered using an external 9-volt DC power supply and includes an internal back-up battery. The Proxima is for use with a customer supplied, dual lumen demand nasal cannula, for example the Salter Labs 4807 or similar, to ensure proper patient usage.

No
The description focuses on sensor-based detection and rule-based logic for oxygen delivery and safety features. There is no mention of AI, ML, or learning from data.

Yes
The device delivers oxygen for medical purposes to adult patients in a hospital setting, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No
The device is an oxygen conserving device designed to deliver oxygen to patients. While it displays warning messages for various issues, these warnings are about the device's operational status and the patient's interaction with the device (e.g., lack of inhalation, low nasal airflow), not for diagnosing a medical condition. Its primary function is therapeutic (oxygen delivery), not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a pressure sensor, electronic valve, graphical touch screen interface, external power supply, and internal back-up battery. It also mentions bench testing related to hardware performance (e.g., ISO 80601-2-67).

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 supplemental oxygen to adult patients in a hospital setting. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is an electronic oxygen conserving device that delivers oxygen based on detecting inhalation. It does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, diagnostic markers, or any function related to diagnosing a disease or condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is to deliver oxygen, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic process.

Device Description:

The Proxima Model-100 is an electronic oxygen conserving device designed for use in a hospital environment. It incorporates a sensitive pressure sensor to detect inhalation, an electronic valve to deliver precise volume of oxygen and a graphical touch screen interface. In pulsed mode the Proxima delivers flows equivalent to 1 to 15 liters per minute of continuous oxygen flow. The volume of each bolus is calculated such that the patient receives the equivalent of the set volume regardless of how slow their breath rate is. To make sure the patient receives oxygen, even if inhalation is not detected, the Proxima automatically changes from pulsed to continuous oxygen flow at the set flow rate if inhalation is not detected for 15 seconds. Proxima displays a warning message to indicate low battery, low oxygen supply pressure, dislodged cannula, lack of inhalation and low nasal airflow. The Proxima is powered using an external 9-volt DC power supply and includes an internal back-up battery. The Proxima is for use with a customer supplied, dual lumen demand nasal cannula, for example the Salter Labs 4807 or similar, to ensure proper patient usage.

Indications for Use:

The Proxima is intended for prescription use only, to be used for adult patients that require supplemental oxygen in a hospital setting.

We present the proposed device vs. the predicate in table below.
