No
The summary describes a simple mechanical manometer for measuring pressure and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is a manometer intended to measure airway pressure, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not actively treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No

The device is described as a manometer intended to measure airway pressure, which is a measurement tool rather than a diagnostic device that identifies a disease or condition. Its purpose is to provide a numerical reading of pressure, not to interpret that reading in a diagnostic context.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "disposable manometer," which is a physical hardware device used to measure pressure. It also mentions being attached by flexible tubing, further indicating a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, the Mercury Airway Pressure Manometer 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 Mercury Airway Pressure Manometer measures airway pressure. This is a physical measurement taken directly from the patient's respiratory system, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure airway pressure, which is a physiological parameter, not to diagnose a condition based on a biological sample.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device used for monitoring or measurement of a physiological function, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Mercury Airway Pressure Manometer is a disposable manometer intended to measure airway pressure up to 80 cm H2O. It is designed to be attached by flexible tubing to the Mercury CPR bag or other devices providing expiratory pressure. Bench testing has determined that the Mercury Airway Pressure Manometer measures airway pressures up to 80 cm H2O in a mannner consistent with the Dwver Magnahelic Gauge, a pre-amendment device.
