More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a breathing coordination device and does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The "Intended Use" describes the device as assisting in breathing coordination during nebulization treatments and connecting with medication delivery systems. This device acts as an accessory to medication delivery, but it does not itself directly provide therapy or treat a medical condition. It facilitates the delivery of therapeutic agents or acts as a trainer, but is not therapeutic itself.

No

The device is described as an "Inspiratory/Expiratory Muscle Trainer" and its intended use is to "assist the patient in the coordination of breathing during nebulization treatments." This suggests a therapeutic or assistive function, not one that identifies or diagnoses a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states "The Breather (Inspiratory/Expiratory Muscle Trainer)", which is a physical 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 assist the patient in coordinating breathing during nebulization treatments. This is a therapeutic and assistive function related to drug delivery, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "Inspiratory/Expiratory Muscle Trainer." This further reinforces its role in physical therapy or respiratory assistance, not in vitro testing.
  • 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

Therefore, based on the provided text, the device's function is related to respiratory assistance and training, not in vitro diagnostics.
