Device Description
The TruPeak Peak Flow Meter is a simple mechanical that responds to and indicates the Peak device Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) generated by the user during a forced exhalation maneuver. inlet of the device is placed into the user 's The mouth after which the maximum rate at exhalation is attempted from nearly full lungs. As this forced commences an internal piston extends exhalation spring as reaction to an internal pressure spike. An indicator is pushed by the moving piston and remains position of the the maximum displacement piston at maneuver is terminated. This position after the corresponds to the PEFR and is quantified in liters per minute by reading a scale next to the indicator. displacement function is logarithmic The piston thereby providing greater resolution of scale at lower PEFR readings.

No
The device description explicitly states it is a "simple mechanical device" and describes its operation based on physical principles (piston, spring, pressure spike). There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
A therapeutic device intends to treat or cure a medical condition. This device, a peak flow meter, is used to measure peak expiratory flow rate, which is a diagnostic or monitoring function, not a treatment.

No

The device description indicates it measures Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR), which assesses lung function, but it doesn't state that it's used to diagnose a specific disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "simple mechanical device" with an "internal piston" and "spring," indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the TruPeak Peak Flow Meter is a "simple mechanical device" that measures the "Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) generated by the user during a forced exhalation maneuver." This involves the user breathing directly into the device.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "mouth," which is the point of interaction for the user's breath, not a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.). The device directly measures a physiological parameter (airflow rate).

Therefore, the TruPeak Peak Flow Meter is a medical device used for monitoring a physiological function, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The TruPeak Peak Flow Meter is a simple mechanical that responds to and indicates the Peak device Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) generated by the user during a forced exhalation maneuver.

inlet of the device is placed into the user 's The mouth after which the maximum rate at exhalation is attempted from nearly full lungs. As this forced commences an internal piston extends exhalation ਰ spring as reaction to an internal pressure spike. An indicator is pushed by the moving piston and remains position of the the maximum displacement piston at maneuver is terminated. This position after the corresponds to the PEFR and is quantified in liters per minute by reading a scale next to the indicator. displacement function is logarithmic The piston thereby providing greater resolution of scale at lower PEFR readings.

The TruPeak Peak Flow Meter is identical in form and function to the TruPeak Peak Flow Meter as described in its 510(k) #955234 except for changes in component dimensions necessary for the performance of the device to conform to the November 1994 ATS Standards update.
