Not Found

No
The device description and intended use describe a purely mechanical, spring-actuated valve. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is an accessory that provides capabilities for therapeutic CPAP systems and ventilator circuits, indicating its use within a therapeutic context for medical treatment.

No
The device is described as an accessory to provide positive end expiratory pressure breathing capabilities, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It helps with breathing, but does not provide information about a patient's health status.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "spring actuated valve," indicating a physical hardware component, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide positive end expiratory pressure breathing capabilities to manual resuscitators, therapeutic CPAP systems, and ventilator circuits. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical valve that provides pressure, again a therapeutic function.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to diagnose diseases or other conditions. This device does not fit that description.
