The Qorda QD is intended as a room recirculating air cleaner. The system is used for filtering out and inactivating airborne particles from the air for medical purposes. The Qorda QD1 has been demonstrated to remove the following organisms under the following exposure conditions: | Organism | Fan Speed | Average Maximum log<br>reduction | Exposure Time | |----------------------------------------|------------|----------------------------------|---------------| | MS2 bacteriophage | Turbo MODE | 5.6 log reduction | 20 minutes | | MS2 bacteriophage | Sleep MODE | 4.9 log reduction | 45 minutes | | <i>Bacillus subtilis</i><br>endospores | Turbo MODE | 4.4 log reduction | 20 minutes | | <i>Bacillus subtilis</i><br>endospores | Sleep MODE | 4.3 log reduction | 60 minutes |
Device Description
Oorda OD1 is a freestanding medical recirculation air cleaner that facilitates movement with wheels. The device includes two pre-filters, two deodorizing filters, two HEPA filters - 3 filters in the front panel and 3 filters in the rear panel), and a manual for users. The device can adjust the air volume in four stages through manual operation (Level 1, Level3, Turbo) and Sleep mode. When operating in sleep mode, the equipment LED and PlasmaWave are turned off and operated with low noise. The device contains the following additional functions. (1)Child lock: Button lock function that prevents children or pets from changing their current motion mode even if they accidentally operate device. (2)Filter Replacement Guide: The remaining filter life is displayed on the front display of the device and tells you when to replace the filter. (3)Adjustment of illuminance: You can adjust the illuminance in four stages (100%, 50%, 20%, OFF). (4)You can turn on or off the PlasmaWave. (5)The timer allows the equipment to turn off automatically after a certain period of time.

More Information

Not Found

No
The description details standard air filtration and purification technologies with manual controls and basic timer/indicator functions. There is no mention of adaptive learning, predictive capabilities, or complex data analysis that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as filtering out and inactivating airborne particles "for medical purposes" and specifically demonstrated to reduce organisms like MS2 bacteriophage and Bacillus subtilis endospores, which are relevant in a medical context for improving air quality to prevent disease transmission or improve patient safety. It is also explicitly stated as a "medical recirculation air cleaner."

No

The device is an air cleaner designed to filter and inactivate airborne particles, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as filters, wheels, and a manual, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software for control and additional functions.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "room recirculating air cleaner" for "filtering out and inactivating airborne particles from the air for medical purposes." This describes a device that acts on the air in a physical space, not on biological samples taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and functions of an air purification system (filters, fan speeds, timers, etc.). It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the device's ability to reduce airborne particles and biological agents in a chamber, as well as electrical safety and ozone emissions. These are relevant to an air cleaner, not an IVD.
  • Key Metrics: The key metrics are log reductions of airborne organisms and particle filtration efficiency, which are measures of air purification performance. IVD metrics would typically involve sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc., related to detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device (K200321, Novaerus NV1050) is also described as an air purification system, further supporting the classification of the Qorda QD as an air cleaner, not an IVD.

In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. The Qorda QD does not perform any of these functions.
