More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a hyperbaric chamber and its intended uses, but there is no mention of AI or ML technology in the device description, intended use, or any other section. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is used to correct tissue hypoxia for the treatment of various medical conditions, indicating its therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a treatment device, specifically a hyperbaric chamber designed to deliver hyperbaric oxygenation as a primary or adjunctive therapy for various conditions. It does not perform any diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical hyperbaric chamber made of stainless steel with acrylic viewports, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a therapeutic treatment for various medical conditions by correcting tissue hypoxia. This involves directly treating a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a hyperbaric chamber designed to house a human patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic or other health information. This device is a therapeutic device used to treat a patient directly.

§ 868.5470 Hyperbaric chamber.

(a)
Identification. A hyperbaric chamber is a device that is intended to increase the environmental oxygen pressure to promote the movement of oxygen from the environment to a patient's tissue by means of pressurization that is greater than atmospheric pressure. This device does not include topical oxygen chambers for extremities (§ 878.5650).(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Capria:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market whe device referenced above and we have determined the device is ene dovios in the indications for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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 che general concrolo provide 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 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.
