No
The document describes a heated humidifier system and its components, focusing on the physical delivery and warming of breathing gases. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is intended to add moisture to and warm breathing gases administered to patients, which helps prevent damage or irritation to the respiratory tract and desiccation of secretions, addressing a medical condition.
No
The device is intended to add moisture and warmth to breathing gases for administration to a patient, and to deliver or humidify these gases. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a heated humidifier, humidification chamber, heated wire circuits, temperature probes, heated wire adapters, and a power cord.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The AirLife DuoTherm™ Humidification System is designed to add moisture and warmth to breathing gases that are delivered to a patient's airway. It is a respiratory support device, not a diagnostic test.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for administering breathing gases to a patient, not for analyzing biological samples.
The device's function and intended use fall under the category of respiratory therapy devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The AirLife DuoTherm™ Heated Humidifier is intended to add moisture to, and warm, the breathing gases for administration to a patient. Gases available for medical use do not contain sufficient moisture and may damage or irritate the respiratory tract, or desiccate secretions of patients whose supraglottic airways have been bypassed. This product is non-sterile, reusable, and intended to be used in professional healthcare environments under the supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
The AirLife DuoTherm™ Humidification Chamber is intended to hold water required to humidify breathing gases delivered to patients ranging from neonates to adults using a heated humidifier. The product is a single use device, nonsterile, and used in professional healthcare environments under the supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
The AirLife DuoTherm™ Neonate Heated-Wire Circuits are intended to deliver and warm breathing gases before they enter the patient's airway. The Neonate Heated-Wire Circuits are used with a pediatric population, specifically the neonate (birth to 28 days) and infant (29 days to 2 years) pediatric subgroups with an ideal body weight of 0.5 to 8kg that requires mechanical ventilation, positive pressure breathing or general medical gases, respectively. The Neonate Heated-Wire Circuits are used for flow rates greater than 1 LPM. The product is single patient use, non-sterile, and used in professional healthcare environments under the supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
The AirLife DuoTherm™ Pediatric Heated-Wire Circuits are intended to deliver and warm breathing gases before they enter the patient's airway. The Pediatric Heated-Wire Circuits are used with the pediation, specifically infant (29 days to 2 years) and children (2 years) with an ideal body weight of 6 to 42kg that requires mechanical ventilation, positive pressure breathing or general medical gases, respectively. The Pediatric Heated-Wire Circuits are used for flow rates greater than 2 LPM. The product is single use, non-sterile, and used in professional healthcare environments under the supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
The AirLife DuoTherm™ Adult Heated-Wire Circuits are intended to deliver and warm breathing gases before they enter the patient's airway. The Adult Heated-Wire Circuits are used with the adult population and pediation, specifically those with an ideal body weight of 30kg or above, that requires mechanical ventilation, positive pressure breathing or general medical gases, respectively. The Adult Heated-Wire Circuits are used for flow rates greater than 3 LPM. The product is single-use, non-sterile, and used in professional healthcare environments under the supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
The AirLife DuoTherm™ Adult Heated-Wire NIV Circuit is intended to deliver and warm breathing gases before they enter the patient's airway. The Adult Heated-Wire NV Circuit is used with the spontaneously breathing adult population (>21 years), specifically those with an ideal body weight of 30kg or above, that benefit from high flow therapy. The Adult Heated-Wire NIV Circuits are used for flow rates greater than 5 LPM. The product is single-use, non-sterile, and used in professional healthcare environments under the supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical performance testing was conducted according to various ISO and IEC standards related to medical electrical equipment, respiratory humidifying equipment, electromagnetic compatibility, usability, alarm systems, software life cycle processes, and conical connectors for anaesthetic and respiratory equipment. Biocompatibility testing was also performed according to ISO 18562 and ISO 10993 series for breathing gas pathways and biological evaluation of medical devices.
There was no clinical testing required to support the AirLife DuoTherm™ Humidification System, as the intended use and indications for use are equivalent to the primary predicate and reference devices.

Dear Megan Walsh:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
