No
The device description details a simple electronic circuit converting a sensor output to a digital reading, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

No
The device is used to monitor oxygen concentration, not to treat a condition. It provides information to healthcare providers but does not directly apply therapy.

No
The device is described as an oxygen analyzer intended to monitor oxygen concentration in the patient-breathing environment. It measures a physiological parameter (oxygen concentration) but doesn't interpret or diagnose a medical condition based on that measurement; it simply provides a reading. It's a monitoring device rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a galvanic oxygen sensor and an analyzer module, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Ceramatec® Handi oxygen analyzer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Ceramatec® Handi oxygen analyzer monitors the oxygen concentration in the patient-breathing environment. This is an external measurement of the air the patient is inhaling, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states monitoring the oxygen concentration in the patient-breathing environment.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a medical device used for monitoring the patient's environment, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description

The Ceramated Handi oxygen analyzer is comprised of a galvanic oxygen sensor and an analyzer module. The galvanic oxygen sensor produces a millivolt output that is proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen in the monitored gas. The analyzer module contains an electronic circuit that converts the millivolt output of the sensor to a digital percent-oxygen reading on a liquid-crystal display (LCD).

The electronic circuit includes an "ON" button, a calibration potentiometer, and a two-digit LCD. The "ON" button is used to power-on the instrument. The LCD is blank when the Handi is in power-off mode. When the "ON" button is pressed, the unit begins to display the percent-oxygen concentration of the monitored gas. The unit is equipped with an auto-off circuit that automatically turns the device off approximately 1.3 minutes after power-on. The device also contains a low-battery detection circuit to safeguard against faulty readings due to a low-battery condition. When a low-battery condition is detected, the low-battery detection circuit prevents operation of the device by immediately powering-down the analyzer upon release of the "ON" button.

The calibration potentiometer allows the device to be calibrated against a gas of a known oxygen concentration, such as air (21% oxygen) or 99% oxygen. The two-digit LCD provides direct readout of percent-oxygen concentration. An over-range indication is included on the LCD to differentiate between 0% oxygen and 100% oxygen.

The galvanic oxygen sensor is a lead-oxygen battery consisting of a lead anode, and an oxygen cathode. The oxygen cathode is made up of gold and an aqueous electrolyte solution. The gold electrode is in close proximity to a non-porous fluoropolymer membrane. Oxygen permeating through the membrane is reduced electrochemically at the gold electrode. An electronic network, consisting of resistors and / or thermistors for temperature compensation, is connected between the cathode and anode. This allows the lead-oxygen battery to continually discharge in the presence of oxygen. The voltage across the resistor / thermistor network is proportional to the oxygen partial pressure of the gas in contact with the fluoropolymer membrane. This voltage is converted by the analyzer to a digital output that is displayed on the LCD.
