Intended Use
The Bi-Flow D/R is designed to provide manual mechanical ventilation triggered by the operator to a nonbreathing patient. This is accomplished by providing the patient a source of oxygen from the Bi-Flow D/R through a device such as a facemask or endotracheal tube. Between the oxygen source and the patient interface is the Bi-Flow valve, which allows for the release of oxygen from its source when triggered by the operator thus providing emergency respiratory support. For the spontaneous breathing patient, the Bi-Flow D/R may be used as an Inhalator. This is accomplished by the patient triggering the valve with his her negative inspiratory force and the source gas being delivered to the patient through a face mask. Additionally, there is a non-rebreathing valve (reusable version or single patient use version) attached to the Bi-Flow D/R which directs the patient's exhalation back to atmosphere. The combination of the Bi-Flow D/R and the non-rebreathing valve as a single device is commonly referred to as a Demand Valve. The power for the device is provided by the compressed oxygen source. There is no additional source of power for this device. The Bi-Flow D/R will be sold by Spiracle Technology only by or on the order of a physician and is intended to be used exclusively by trained health care professionals. The Bi-Flow D/R will be sold as a component of a respiratory support system to be configured by the health care provider. As such, it will be compatible with all commonly available oxygen source and face mask connections.
Device Description
The Bi-Flow D/R is designed to provide manual mechanical ventilation triggered by the operator to a nonbreathing patient. The small portable device is primarily constructed of aluminum components and utilizes a plastic and silicone rubber inhalation valve. The device is gas powered and has no electronic components or software. The device is pilot actuated.

No
The device description explicitly states that the device has "no electronic components or software" and is "gas powered". There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section.

Yes
The device is designed to provide manual mechanical ventilation and emergency respiratory support to non-breathing patients, as well as an inhalator for spontaneous breathing patients, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is designed to provide manual mechanical ventilation and emergency respiratory support, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states, "The device is gas powered and has no electronic components or software."

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The Bi-Flow D/R is described as a device for providing manual mechanical ventilation and acting as an inhalator. It directly interacts with the patient's respiratory system by delivering oxygen.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device collecting, preparing, or analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is purely mechanical and related to gas delivery for respiratory support.

Therefore, the Bi-Flow D/R falls under the category of a medical device used for direct patient care, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

510(k) Reference Number:

K982225

Statement of Indications for Use:

The Bi-Flow D/R is designed to provide manual mechanical ventilation triggered by the operator to a nonbreathing patient. This is accomplished by providing the patient a source of oxygen from the Bi-Flow D/R through a device such as a facemask or endotracheal tube. Between the oxygen source and the patient interface is the Bi-Flow valve, which allows for the release of oxygen from its source when triggered by the operator thus providing emergency respiratory support. For the spontaneous breathing patient, the Bi-Flow D/R may be used as an Inhalator. This is accomplished by the patient triggering the valve with his her negative inspiratory force and the source gas being delivered to the patient through a face mask.

Additionally, there is a non-rebreathing valve (reusable version or single patient use version) attached to the Bi-Flow D/R which directs the patient's exhalation back to atmosphere. The combination of the Bi-Flow D/R and the non-rebreathing valve as a single device is commonly referred to as a Demand Valve.

The power for the device is provided by the compressed oxygen source. There is no additional source of power for this device.

The Bi-Flow D/R will be sold by Spiracle Technology only by or on the order of a physician and is intended to be used exclusively by trained health care professionals. The Bi-Flow D/R will be sold as a component of a respiratory support system to be configured by the health care provider.
