No
The description focuses on standard microprocessor control and measurement of blood gas parameters, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

No.
The device measures chemical properties of blood samples and is intended for diagnostic purposes, not for treating a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is intended for the measurement of pH, PCO2, and PO2 in whole blood samples, which are diagnostic indicators.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "fully automatic, microprocessor-controlled medical instrument" with a keypad, display, and thermal printer, indicating it includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is used for the measurement of pH, PCO2, and PO2 in samples of whole blood. This is a key characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic device – it analyzes samples taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device description confirms that it's a medical instrument designed to measure these parameters.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies describe testing performed on whole blood samples.

The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device is a medical device that is used to examine specimens, such as blood, urine, or tissue, that have been taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. The AVL COMPACT 3 fits this definition by analyzing blood samples.

Device Description

The AVL COMPACT 3 pH / Blood Gas Analyzer is a fully automatic, microprocessor-controlled medical instrument that measures pH, PCO2 and PO2. Communication to the device is accomplished simply with the use of a keypad. The analyzer communicates to the user through a 4-line alphanumeric display with 20 characters per line and with a thermal printer using heat sensitive paper to output measured values, calibration reports, electrode voltages and other information.

Calibration is performed automatically by the instrument on power-on. One-point calibration of PCO2 and PO2 occurs continually during operation and following each sample analysis. One-point calibration of pH is performed automatically either at 1, 2 or 3 hour intervals determined by the instrument based on calibration drift, or selected to be performed automatically at 30 minute or 1 hour, fixed intervals by the user. A complete, 2 point calibration of all sensors may be selected to occur automatically at 8 or 12 hour intervals by the user. All calibrations may be initiated by the user as desired.

Automatic cleaning is performed by the instrument on initial power-on and prior to each 2point full calibration. The device contains additional diagnostic programs features to enable the user to easily customize some features of operation, or to troubleshoot the cause of any operational errors.

Quality control processing is provided for up to 34 samples of each of 3 levels of control material and to calculate mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation on these samples to aide the user in performance and documentation of quality control for this instrument.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Nonclinical tests:
The scope of nonclinical tests for the COMPACT 3 is limited only to the differences between the COMPACT 3 and the preexisting COMPACT 2 pH / Blood Gas Analyzer [K942616].

Numeric Keypad: Operation of the numeric keypad was validated by test of input values from the upper and lower limits in addition to typical input values. The numeric keypad function test was judged passed.

Optimization of Sample Volume Requirements: The measurement in four sampling modes (Syringe, Capillary, Mini, and Micro) was optimized independently and then validated. This was done through the measurement of whole blood samples which have been tonometered to gravimetrically prepared gas mixtures in each of these 4 sample modes. The means of five measurements in each mode taken at 10 levels of CO2 and O2 gas mixtures spanning the reportable range of the COMPACT were compared using standard statistical methods. It was determined that no significant difference (P

(3) Substantial Equivalence

Under 510(k) notification number K942616, AVL currently markets the AVL COMPACT 2 pH/Blood Gas Analyzer.

Additionally, as in the former 510(k) submission, the AVL COMPACT 3 is substantially equivalent to the AVL Model 995 pH / Blood Gas Analyzer [K895317] and AVL COMPACT 2 pH / Blood Gas Analyzer [K942616].

(4) Description of the new device

We do not consider the AVL COMPACT 3 a new device, but a re-engineering of our existing, COMPACT 2 to increase its utility in the hands of our customers. The most externally apparent modification enhances the current display and simplified YES. NO keypad with a full 10-key numeric keypad for the easy input of patient identification and other such numeric data.

The AVL COMPACT 3 pH / Blood Gas Analyzer is a fully automatic, microprocessor-controlled medical instrument that measures pH, PCO2 and PO2. Communication to the device is accomplished simply with the use of a keypad. The analyzer communicates to the user through a 4-line alphanumeric display with 20 characters per line and with a thermal printer using heat sensitive paper to output measured values, calibration reports, electrode voltages and other information.

Summary of nonclinical tests submitted with the premarket notification for the (b) (1) device.

The scope of nonclinical tests for the COMPACT 3 is limited only to the differences between the COMPACT 3 and the preexisting COMPACT 2 pH / Blood Gas Analyzer [K942616]. Below are listed summarized descriptions of the validation performed for these changes.

Numeric Keypad

Operation of the numeric keypad was validated by test of input values from the upper and lower limits in addition to typical input values. The numeric keypad function test was iudged passed.

Optimization of Sample Volume Requirements

With the addition of the "Mini" sample mode, the COMPACT 3 provides the user with four modes of sample measurement: Syringe, Capillary, Mini and Micro sample modes,

The measurement in each of these sampling modes was optimized independently, then validated through the measurement of whole blood samples which have been tonometered to gravimetrically prepared gas mixtures in each of these 4 sample modes. The means of five measurements in each mode taken at 10 levels of CO2 and O2 gas mixtures spanning the reportable range of the COMPACT were compared using standard statistical methods to determine that no significant difference ( P
