Intended Use
The ATOMISOR AL + NL9 NEBULIZER is an aerosol generator for the delivery of aerosol to the airways. Because they have been designed to be operated together, the ATOMISOR NL9 nebulizer and the ATOMISOR AL compressor should never be used separately.
Device Description
The ATOMISOR AL is a small and easy to use portable compressor for jet nebulizer aerosol generator. The pump inside is a diaphragm pump and the casing of the compressor is made of metal with a plastic carrying handle on top. In order to ease its' transportation, in case of rental for example, the ATOMISOR AL can be sold with a PVC carrying case in which both the compressor and the nebulizer can be placed. When used, the compressor is removed from the carrying-case.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components of a nebulizer and compressor, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as an "aerosol generator for the delivery of aerosol to the airways," which indicates a therapeutic purpose by administering medication or treatment to the airways.

No
The device is described as an aerosol generator for medicine delivery to the airways, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details hardware components, including a compressor with a diaphragm pump and a metal casing, and a nebulizer. It is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the ATOMISOR AL + NL9 NEBULIZER is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to deliver aerosolized medication to the airways. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an aerosol generator and compressor, which are components used for drug delivery, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose a condition, or monitor treatment.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body. The ATOMISOR AL + NL9 NEBULIZER operates in vivo (inside the body) by delivering medication to the airways.

Dear Ms. Ward:

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, qood manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
