No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
Yes
The device provides respiratory support and therapy for patients with respiratory insufficiency, delivering warmed and humidified gases and offering non-invasive ventilation modes like CPAP and Bi-Level S/T.
No
The device is described as a respiratory support device for delivering High Flow and NIV therapy, not for diagnosing conditions. While it has an integrated oxygen analyzer and visual display, this feature is for assuring the user of the air/oxygen mixture, not for diagnosing a patient's condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "respiratory support device" and mentions hardware components like a "single limb circuit kit" and testing related to "Electrical Safety, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), and Alarms," indicating it is a physical device with integrated software, not software only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as providing respiratory support (non-invasive ventilation and high flow therapy) to spontaneously breathing patients. It focuses on delivering warmed and humidified gases and providing pressure support. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description reinforces that it's a respiratory support device for delivering therapy.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information for the diagnosis of a disease or condition.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on aspects like biocompatibility, electrical safety, software validation, cleaning, and bench/performance testing related to gas delivery and pressure, not diagnostic accuracy.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Airvo 3 NIV's function is to support breathing, which is a therapeutic intervention.

F&P Airvo 3 NIV (PT311US)
When used in NIV mode:
The Airvo 3 NIV provides non-invasive ventilator support for non-ventilator dependent, spontaneously breathing adult patients (66 lb/30 kg and above) with respiratory insufficiency. It is intended to be used in hospitals. It is not intended for life support.
When used in High Flow mode:
The Airvo 3 NIV is intended to provide high flow warmed and humidified respiratory gases for administration to spontaneously breathing infant, child, adolescent and adult patients in hospitals. It adds heat and moisture to the flow of air, or blended air/medical oxygen mixture, and assures the user of the air/oxygen mixture using an integrated oxygen analyzer and visual display.

Device Description
The subject device, F&P Airvo 3 NIV is a respiratory support device for the delivery of High Flow and NIV (Non-Invasive Ventilation) therapy intended to treat spontaneously breathing patients who would benefit from receiving High Flow or respiratory pressure support. The Airvo 3 NIV is NOT to be used for life-supporting or life-sustaining purposes.
The Airvo 3 NIV is a non-implantable, prescription-only device, provided in a non-sterile state, and intended to be used by healthcare professionals, namely respiratory therapists, doctors and nurses in hospitals. When used in High Flow mode, the Airvo 3 NIV delivers gas at flow rates of between 2-70 L/min. The Airvo 3 NIV also has three non-invasive ventilation therapy modes: CPAP, Bi-Level S/T and Bi-Level PCV.
The AirSpiral NIV Tube and Chamber Kit is a single limb circuit kit designed for use with the Airvo 3 NIV device, for non- ventilator dependent, spontaneously breathing adult patients with respiratory insufficiency.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Biocompatibility Testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Airvo 3 device was conducted in accordance with the International Standards ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," and "ISO 18562-1 Biocompatibility evaluation of breathing gas pathways in healthcare applications - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" as recognized by FDA. Testing of the Airvo 3 System demonstrates an appropriate biocompatibility profile for the device.
Electrical Safety, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), and Alarms
Electrical safety, thermal safety, mechanical safety, EMC and radiofrequency identification testing were conducted on the Airvo 3 system. The system complies with ANSI AAMI ES 60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012, IEC 60601-1-2:2014 and AIM Standard 7351731 Rev. 3.00 2017-02-23. The testing demonstrated the appropriate electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility profile for the device. Alarms testing was performed in accordance with ANSI AAMI IEC 60601-1-8:2006 and A1:2012.
Software Verification and Validation Testing
Software verification, validation and hazard analysis was conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions."
Cleaning/Reprocessing
As per the FDA Guidance: "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling", the Outlet Elbow is classified as a semi-critical device and was therefore subject to cleaning followed by high-level disinfection. The acceptance criteria and endpoints used are based on the following standard:
- AAMI TIR30:2011 A compendium of Processes, Materials, Test Methods, And Acceptance Criteria for Cleaning Reusable Medical Devices
Bench / Performance Testing
Comparative performance testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence, and included:
- Blending accuracy
- Flow rate accuracy
- Continuous use thermal stability
- Pressure waveform analysis
- Humidification output
Key Results: The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.

| Heated Breathing Tube for NIV Therapy | | | |
| Indications for Use | For use with noninvasive ventilator
support for non-ventilator dependent,
spontaneously breathing adult patients
(66 lbs./30 kg and above) with
respiratory insufficiency. It is intended
to be used in hospitals. It is not intended
for life support. | Heated breathing tube for delivery of
humidified respiratory gases.
For use with AIRVO and AIRVO 2
Series humidifiers in hospitals and long-
term care facilities.
For use at flows from 2 to 60 L min-1
depending on the patient interface. | Equivalent |
| Principle of Operation | Used as part of the Airvo 3 NIV system,
the single limb AirSpiral NIV heated
breathing tube provides a conduit for
humidified heated respiratory gases that
connects the humidifier to the patient
interface. | Used as part of the Airvo or Airvo 2
