Intended Use
The Vapamasta 6 Anaesthesia Vaporiser a temperature-compensated concentration-calibrated vaporiser. They are designed to introduce an accurately metered volume of vaporised anaesthetic agent into the fresh gas flow of a continuous-flow anaesthetic apparatus. Their purpose of these devices is to vaporise an inhalable anaesthetic agent for which they have been calibrated and which is indicated on the labelling. They may be used for the induction and maintenance of a state of anaesthesia in humans during a medical procedure, usually involving a surgical operation. They may additionally be used for veterinary procedures. The devices are calibrated for a specific anaesthetic agent and vaporisers for the following anaesthetic agents are available in the Vapamasta 6 range; Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane or Sevoflurane.

The description focuses on the mechanical and temperature-compensated nature of the device for vaporizing anesthetic agents, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
Explanation: The device is designed to induce and maintain a state of anaesthesia in humans, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is an anesthesia vaporizer, used to deliver anesthetic agents. Its purpose is therapeutic facilitation (inducing and maintaining anesthesia), not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "temperature-compensated concentration-calibrated vaporiser," which is a physical hardware device designed to introduce vaporized anesthetic agent. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, in order to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Function: The Vapamasta 6 Anaesthesia Vaporiser is designed to vaporize anaesthetic agents and introduce them into a patient's respiratory system during a medical procedure. It directly interacts with the patient's body (via inhalation) to induce and maintain anaesthesia.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological specimens (blood, tissue, etc.) from the patient. Its function is to deliver a substance to the patient, not to perform diagnostic tests on samples.

Therefore, the Vapamasta 6 Anaesthesia Vaporiser falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
