Intended Use
A bacterial filter is indicated for use when the care provider desires to protect the patient, care provider, equipment, or all three from the transference of bacteria or virus through the breathing circuit. This filter is provided only in combination with a King Systems Universal F2™ breathing circuit. Within this combination the overall intended use is to administer medical gases and/or anesthetic gases to a patient during anesthesia for inhalation, or medical gases to a patient during respiratory care inhalation.

No
The summary describes a bacterial filter for a breathing circuit and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is a bacterial filter, which is a component of a breathing circuit used to protect against the transfer of bacteria or viruses. While it is part of a system that administers medical gases, the filter itself is primarily a protective and preventative component, not directly therapeutic in nature.

No
Explanation: The device, a bacterial filter, is used to protect from the transference of bacteria or viruses and to administer medical gases. There is no indication that it is used to diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a "Bacterial Filter" and is provided in combination with a "breathing circuit," indicating it is a physical hardware component.

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 bacteria and viruses from breathing circuits during the administration of medical gases. This is a function performed in vivo (on or within a living patient) as part of a medical procedure, not in vitro (outside the body) for the purpose of diagnosing a condition.
  • Device Description: It's described as a "Breathing Circuit Bacterial Filter," which aligns with its function in a breathing circuit.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The device's function is to prevent the spread of microorganisms within a breathing circuit, which is a supportive function during medical gas administration, not a diagnostic test.

Re: K973797 Breathing Circuit Bacterial Filter Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 73 CAH Dated: January 7, 1998 Received: January 8, 1998

Dear Mr. Green:

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.

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 EFR 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.
