No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of a compressor for nebulization and explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML.

No
The device is a compressor that provides air flow to a nebulizer, which then delivers drugs to the patient. While it is part of a therapeutic process, the device itself is a power source, not the therapeutic agent.

No
The device is described as an air compressor for nebulization of drugs, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It provides a means to deliver medication, not to identify or monitor a disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "electrically powered compressor" which is a hardware component, 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 provide compressed air for nebulizing drugs for patient inhalation. This is a therapeutic delivery method, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a compressor providing airflow. It does not involve analyzing biological samples or performing any diagnostic tests.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The device is clearly intended for drug delivery, which falls under the category of therapeutic medical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Walters:

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, Druq, 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 reqistration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. 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.
