None

No
The summary describes a disposable pneumotach, a mechanical device for measuring airflow, and makes no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a disposable pneumotach intended for use with spirometers, which are diagnostic tools for measuring lung function, not therapeutic devices.

No
The device is described as a disposable pneumotach for spirometers, which measures airflow during respiration. This is a measurement tool, not a device that diagnoses a disease or condition. Its intended use is to replace an existing flow sensor for a spirometer.

No

The device is described as a "disposable pneumotach," which is a hardware component used in spirometry. The description does not mention any software functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "disposable pneumotach for Puritan-Bennett spirometers." A pneumotach is a device used to measure airflow during respiration. This is a physiological measurement taken directly from a patient, not a test performed on a sample of bodily fluid or tissue in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes (substances in the body)
    • Diagnosis or monitoring of diseases based on laboratory tests.

The Flosense is a component used with a spirometer, which is a device for measuring lung function. This falls under the category of medical devices used for physiological measurement, not in vitro diagnostics.
