No
The description focuses on the physical structure and utility delivery (gas, power) of a wall-mounted system, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or data processing.

No
The device provides physical support for monitoring equipment and dispenses medical gases and electrical power but does not directly treat a medical condition or perform a therapeutic function.

No
The document describes a wall-mounted system providing physical support, storage, and dispensing of medical gases and electrical power. It does not perform any diagnostic function on a patient.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components (wall fixture, horizontal element, column, support tube, equipment carrier) and their function in providing physical support, storage, and dispensing of medical gases and electrical power. It is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system provides physical support, storage, and dispensing of medical gases and electrical power. This is related to patient care infrastructure and equipment management, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a wall-mounted supply system. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing specimens, diagnostic testing, or any other activities typically associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the Drager Gemina System falls under the category of medical equipment support and supply systems, not in vitro diagnostics.

The Drager Gemina System is substantially equivalent in materials, design, and function to pre-enactment devices of marclare) addition as well as to other wall-mounted supply monitoring support systems currently in commercial and a distribution in the United States.

The Drager Gemina System is substantially equivalent to another Drager system, the DVE 4000, a ceiling mounted system which has previously been reviewed by FDA (K921297).

The Drager Gemina System is also substantially equivalent to the Horizon Headwall System from Hill-Rom.

Both of these systems (Gemina and Horizon) are wall mounted
systems intended to provide support for medical/surgical monitoring and related equipment and to provide physical support for wall mounted dispensing equipment of medical gases and electrical power.

of these systems are modular in design to allow for Both maximum flexibility in meeting the needs of individual users and sites.

The following charts provide a comparison of features of the Gemina System to The Horizon Headwall System:
