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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aerosolize physician-prescribed liquid medication for inhalation. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the therapeutic function of providing compressed air for medication delivery.
  • 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.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The BESTNEB is a medical device used for drug delivery, specifically a nebulizer compressor.
