The summary describes a bacterial/viral filter for respiratory circuits, focusing on physical properties and intended use, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is designed to reduce bacterial/viral transmission and the loss of patient heat and humidity, not to directly treat a disease or medical condition.

No

The text describes devices used for reducing bacterial/viral transmission and maintaining heat and humidity in respiratory systems, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe physical filters designed to reduce bacterial/viral transmission and manage heat/humidity in respiratory circuits. There is no mention of software components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the device's function in reducing bacterial/viral transmission and managing heat/humidity in respiratory circuits. It describes a physical filter/humidifier used in a breathing system.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose in respiratory equipment connections and patient connections to reduce transmission and manage heat/humidity. This is a therapeutic/supportive function, not a diagnostic one.

The text describes a medical device used in respiratory care, not a test performed on biological samples for diagnostic purposes.

Dear Mr. Gunerman:

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 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 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 Existing major regulations affecting your device additional controls. 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 Requlation (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.
