Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a "Device Description" section, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only. Without this information, it's impossible to ascertain if the device includes hardware components or is purely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "emergency airway obstruction in a non-clinical environment." This describes a physical intervention or device used directly on a patient to address a medical emergency.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.

The description clearly indicates a device used on a person, not a test performed on a sample from a person.
