No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical filtration, with no mention of AI/ML terms or data processing.

No.
The device's intended use is to filter exhaled air to reduce contamination, not to treat a disease or condition in a patient.

No

The device is described as a filter for patient's exhaled air, intended to reduce contamination in breathing circuits. Its function is to filter, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "filter with a translucent housing and filter media," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to filter exhaled air in breathing circuits to reduce contamination. This is a mechanical function related to patient breathing and circuit hygiene, not the diagnosis of a disease or condition using in vitro methods (testing samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a filter with a housing and filter media, which aligns with a mechanical filtration device.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed (K833066, K930760, K954194) are typically breathing circuit filters, not IVD devices.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used in respiratory support, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Dryden:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
