No
The summary describes a standard blood gas and electrolyte analyzer and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is used for diagnostic testing and provides measurements of various blood parameters, but it does not describe any therapeutic function or direct treatment of a disease or condition.

Yes
The device measures blood gases, electrolytes, and metabolites, which are parameters used by healthcare professionals to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "analyzer" used for direct measurement of whole blood samples, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "point-of-care and laboratory testing of blood gases, electrolytes and metabolites in arterial, venous and capillary whole blood samples." This involves testing biological samples in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status.
  • Device Description: The device description details the measurement of various parameters (blood gases, electrolytes, hematocrit) in whole blood samples. These are all tests performed on biological specimens in vitro.

The definition of an IVD is a medical device that is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Ciba Corning 348 System clearly fits this definition.

4. Summary of Technological Characteristics

The 348 Series System uses measurement technology that is based on electrochemical phenomena. The device uses potentiometry, amperometry and conductimetric methods to convert the potential generated by the sensor to an electrical signal which the system then converts to a value that represents that concentration of a specific analyte in the whole blood sample.

The 348 Series sensors (i.e., electrodes) provide direct measurement of the specific analytes or substances in the sample. Each sensor in the 348 system is highly selective for one substance over others.
