The description focuses on mechanical air filtration, heating, and humidification, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.
No
The device is an air cleaner designed to remove airborne particles and allergens. While it may alleviate symptoms for individuals with allergic reactions, its primary function is air purification, not the direct treatment of a medical condition.
No
The BREATHE EASY device is described as an air cleaner designed to remove airborne particles and allergens from a patient's environment, not to diagnose a medical condition. Its function is to treat the air for comfort and reduce potential allergic reactions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a housing unit, blower, filter, heater, humidifier, and support arm, indicating it is a hardware device with air treatment capabilities, not software only.
Based on the provided information, the BREATHE EASY device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This includes tests performed on blood, urine, tissue, etc.
- BREATHE EASY Function: The BREATHE EASY device is an air cleaner. Its function is to treat the air in a room to remove airborne particles and allergens. It does not interact with or analyze specimens from the human body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to remove airborne particles and allergens from the air to potentially alleviate allergic reactions. This is an environmental treatment, not a diagnostic test on a biological sample.
- Device Description: The description details an air treatment system with filters, a blower, and potentially a heater and humidifier. This aligns with an air purification system, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, diagnostic information, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVDs (reagents, assays, specimen handling, etc.).
Therefore, the BREATHE EASY device falls under the category of an air treatment or air purification device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The BREATHE EASY is an adjustable, personal system for treating air in a specified area of a room. The BREATHE EASY device contains an air treatment system, including a housing unit with an air inlet and a treated air outlet, a blower and a filter, for removing contaminants from the air flowing along the flow path.
The BREATHE EASY Model AD device contains also an air filtering system with a heater and humidifier for treating ambient air so as to bring it to a preselected respiratory comfort level. The BREATHE EASY device provides a method for guiding the treated air outflow so as to obtain a flow distribution in close proximity to the head of a user, thereby forming a treated air envelope surrounding his respiratory openings.
The BREATHE EASY device is supported on an adjustable support arm, adjustably mounted onto a household furniture (e.g., bed), wall, or wheeled support structure.
