No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The device description is also not available, which would be a key place to find such information.

Yes
The device is used for "medical purposes," indicating it is intended to provide a medical benefit, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as an air filtration system for filtering airborne particles from the air, which is a treatment or preventive function, not a diagnostic one. It does not identify or detect diseases or conditions.

No

The intended use describes a physical air filtration system, which is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "filtering out airborne particles from the air for medical purposes." This describes a device that acts on the environment (the air) rather than on a biological sample taken from a human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition based on sample analysis.
    • Using reagents or assays.

IVDs are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide diagnostic information. Air filtration systems, while used in medical settings, are environmental controls and do not fit this definition.
