No
The summary describes a simple aerosol generator that produces compressed air for a nebulizer. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

No
The device, an aerosol generator, produces compressed air to operate a nebulizer, which then produces medical aerosol for treatment. The device itself does not directly provide therapy; it facilitates the operation of another device (nebulizer) that delivers medication.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an "Aerosol Generator" that produces compressed air to operate a nebulizer for medical aerosol production to treat respiratory disorders, not to diagnose them. It facilitates treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device is described as an "Aerosol Generator" which produces compressed air to operate a nebulizer. This description clearly indicates a hardware 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 clearly states that the device is for the production of compressed air to operate a nebulizer for the production of medical aerosol for respiratory disorders. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • IVD Definition: IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device does not interact with or analyze human specimens.

The device is a medical device used for delivering medication, not for diagnosing a condition.

Re : K980074 56 Series Compressor Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 73 CAF April 27, 1998 Dated: Received: April 30, 1998

Dear Mr. O'Brien:

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 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 requlation 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.
