Device Description
The CAREvent BLS automatic/manually triggered resuscitators are designed to provide respiratory support to patients in either respiratory arrest or respiratory distress. The device incorporates the features of Automatic Ventilation and Manual Ventilation into a single handpiece design that is a derivative of the Genesis® II BLS device. The device is totally pneumatic in its function therefore requiring no batteries or other power sources apart from a compressed gas supply of either air or oxygen (as specified by the customer) and a regulated output from the gas source between 50 and 90 psi. The CAREvent ALS automatic/manually triggered resuscitators are designed to provide respiratory support to patients in either respiratory arrest or respiratory distress. The device incorporates the features of Automatic Ventilation and Manual Ventilation into a single handpiece design that is a derivative of the Genesis® " Adult/Child device. The device is totally pneumatic in its function therefore requiring no batteries or other power sources apart from a compressed gas supply of either air or oxygen (as specified by the customer) and a regulated output from the gas source between 50 and 90 psi. The CAREvent BLS* is an automatic time cvcled resuscitator designed to provide respiratory support to patients in either respiratory arrest or respiratory distress. The device incorporates the features of Automatic and Manual Ventilation into a control module with separate hose and patient valve. This device is identical in terms of features to the Autovent 1000 - 510K #: K983785 with the addition of the ability to select the manual flowrate equivalent to that selected on the tidal volume/frequency control. The device is a pneumatically powered, requiring no batteries or other power sources apart from a compressed gas supply of either air or oxygen (as specified by the customer) and a regulated output from the gas source between 50 and 90 psi. The device is a time-cycled ventilator with a range of 12, pre-set, automatic settings in which both the tidal volume and frequency of ventilation are adjusted simultaneously by the rotation of a vertically mounted rotary control. A manual button is provided to enable the operator to control the patient's breathing parameters with a flowrate equivalent to that selected on the tidal volume/frequency control. The patient's airway is protected by an over pressure alarm, pre-set to 60 cmHzO. which gives an audible signal of over pressure and vents the remaining tidal volume delivery for that breath to atmosphere. The CAREvent ATV is an automatic time cycled ventilator designed to provide respiratory support to patients in either respiratory arrest or respiratory distress. The device incorporates the features of Automatic Ventilation, Manual Ventilation, and Demand Breathing into a control module with separate hose and patient valve. This device is identical in terms of features to the Autovent 1500 product - 510K # K983857 with the addition of independent minute volume and frequency controls. adjustable pressure relief, 60/100% air/oxygen mix and the ability to select the manual flowrate with a flowrate equivalent to that selected on the minute volume control. An additional alarm feature has also been added to warn of low input pressure. The device is a pneumatically powered, requiring no batteries or other power sources apart from a compressed gas supply of either air or oxygen (as specified by the customer) and a regulated output from the gas source between 50 and 90 psi. The device is a time-cycled ventilator with a range of 12, automatic frequency settings and 12 minute volume settings which are both adjusted by the rotation of a vertically mounted rotary control. A manual button is provided to enable the operator to control the patient's breathing parameters with a flowrate equivalent to that selected on the minute volume control. Should the patient commence spontaneous breathing while being ventilated, their inspiratory effort will cause the device to provide breathing on demand while simultaneously causing the automatic cycling to cease. Should the patient cease to breathe spontaneously the automatic cycling will recommence without intervention by the operator being necessary. The patient's airway is protected by an over pressure alarm (adjustable from 20 to 60 cmH20), which gives an audible signal of over pressure and vents the remaining tidal volume delivery for that breath to atmosphere.

More Information

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states that the device is "totally pneumatic in its function therefore requiring no batteries or other power sources apart from a compressed gas supply". This indicates a purely mechanical/pneumatic operation, not involving computational AI/ML. The controls are described as manual or time-cycled with pre-set options, not adaptive or learning based on patient data.

Yes.
The device's intended use and function are to provide pulmonary resuscitation and ventilatory support, which directly addresses a medical condition (respiratory/cardiac arrest, respiratory distress) for therapeutic benefit.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly state that this device is designed to provide "respiratory support" and "ventilatory support" for patients, which are therapeutic functions. There is no mention of diagnostic capabilities, such as measuring or analyzing physiological parameters to identify a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is "totally pneumatic in its function" and requires a "compressed gas supply" and a "regulated output from the gas source." This indicates a hardware-based device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is for "Pulmonary resuscitation during respiratory and/or cardiac arrest" and "Short term ventilatory support for both inter and intra-hospital transport of non-breathing patients." These are direct interventions on a patient's respiratory system.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "resuscitator" and "ventilator" that provides "respiratory support to patients." It delivers gas (air or oxygen) to the patient's lungs.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such examination of biological specimens. It directly interacts with the patient's respiratory system.

Therefore, the device described is a therapeutic device used for respiratory support, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
