Intended Use
The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is a non-invasive, pressure support ventilator used to - i) Augment the breathing of patients suffering from acute or chronic respiratory insufficiency - ii) Maintain airway patency and provide ventilatory support to patients who experience obstructive sleep apnea. It is not intended to provide the total ventilatory requirements of the patient. The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is intended for use with nasal masks and full-face masks as recommended by Respironics. The BiPAP Synchrony is intended to provide non-invasive ventilation in adult patients (>30kg) for the treatment of respiratory insufficiency (a condition in which the patient can continue without ventilation for some period, such as overnight) or obstructive sleep apnea. The Synchrony ventilator is intended for use with nasal masks and fullface masks as recommended by Respironics.
Device Description
The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is a noninvasive pressure support ventilator and is classified under product code MNS (continuous ventilator, non-life supporting). The BiPAP Synchrony HC provides therapy in the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Spontaneous/Timed (S/T), Pressure Assist, and Timed modes.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on standard ventilation modes and compliance with existing standards.

Yes
The device is described as a "pressure support ventilator used to augment the breathing of patients suffering from acute or chronic respiratory insufficiency" and to "maintain airway patency and provide ventilatory support to patients who experience obstructive sleep apnea." This indicates it is used for the treatment or mitigation of a disease or condition, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a ventilator that provides respiratory support, not a diagnostic device. Its intended use is to "augment the breathing of patients" and "maintain airway patency and provide ventilatory support," which are therapeutic functions.

No

The device description clearly identifies the BiPAP Synchrony HC as a noninvasive pressure support ventilator, which is a hardware device. The performance studies also mention electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, mechanical, and environmental testing, all of which are associated with hardware devices, not software-only devices.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a non-invasive pressure support ventilator used to augment breathing and maintain airway patency. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: It is described as a ventilator classified under product code MNS (continuous ventilator, non-life supporting). Ventilators are medical devices used for respiratory support, not for testing samples from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The BiPAP Synchrony HC does not perform any of these functions.

MNS

Device Description

The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is a noninvasive pressure support ventilator and is classified under product code MNS (continuous ventilator, non-life supporting).

The BiPAP Synchrony HC provides therapy in the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Spontaneous/Timed (S/T), Pressure Assist, and Timed modes.
CPAP Mode: In this mode, a clinician can set CPAP. The device delivers CPAP to the patient at the CPAP setting.
Spontaneous/Timed (S/T) Mode: The clinician sets IPAP, EPAP, Rate, and Inspiratory Time. The device delivers patient-triggered, pressure-limited, patient-cycled breaths if the patient's breathing rate is above the Rate setting. The device delivers machine-triggered, pressure-limited, time-cycled breaths if the patient's breathing rate falls below the Rate setting. The Inspiratory Time setting controls the triggering of the inspiratory phase. The Inspiratory Time setting does not affect the cycling of a spontaneous breath.
Pressure Assist Mode: The clinician sets IPAP, EPAP, Rate, and Inspiratory Time. The device delivers machine or patient-triggered, pressure-limited, machine-cycled breaths. This mode is equivalent to the S/T mode with one exception: all breaths are machine-cycled and therefore have a fixed Inspiratory Time. The patient may initiate a breath but all breaths will be pressure-limited (IPAP) and time-cycled. The cycle time is determined by the Inspiratory Time control setting. The patient-controllable Rise Time may enhance patient-ventilator synchrony and patient comfort.
Timed Mode: The clinician sets IPAP, EPAP, Rate, and Inspiratory Time. The device delivers machine-triggered, machine-cycled breaths. The triggering is determined by the Rate control, and the cycle time is determined by the Inspiratory Time control.

Features:
Performance:

  • Provides non-invasive application of CPAP and bi-level pressure support ventilation.
  • Provides spontaneous triggering based on the Respironics Auto-Trak- Sensitivity system.
  • Compensates for most leaks in the patient circuit and patient interface.
  • Compensates the unit outlet pressure for flow based pressure drops in the patient circuit.

Safety:

  • Provides built-in alarms for high pressure and low pressure.
  • Provides internal circuit monitoring for safety.
  • Provides an optional oxygen valve that closes when the blower is off, preventing oxygen flow.
  • Provides a patient disconnect alarm with a time delay that is set by the clinician.

The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC system includes:

  • BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC unit
  • Circuit tubing
  • Patient interface
  • Exhalation port
