No
The description details a standard electrical compressor for nebulizers with no mention of AI or ML components or functionality.
Yes
The device is described as a "prescription device for use in the treatment of respiratory disorders, such as asthma," and its intended use is to "provide compressed air to a nebulizer for the generation of aerosolized medications" which are then delivered to a patient for inhalation. This direct involvement in treating a medical condition with medication delivery classifies it as therapeutic.
No
This device is an aerosol compressor used for delivering medication for respiratory disorders, not for diagnosing them. It provides compressed air to a nebulizer to turn liquid medication into an aerosol for inhalation.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as an enclosure, compressor, wiring components, filter, power switch, fan, power cord, and air tubing. It is an electrically powered device that provides compressed air, which is a hardware function.
Based on the provided text, the Invacare Model IRC 1001 Aerosol Compressor is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device's intended use is to provide compressed air to a nebulizer to aerosolize medication for inhalation. It is a therapeutic device used to deliver medication directly to the respiratory tract.
- No Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological specimens from the patient.
Therefore, the Invacare Model IRC 1001 Aerosol Compressor is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
This product is an electrically powered device designed for use in the treatment of respiratory disorders, such as asthma, in a household environment. Its' intended use is to provide compressed air to a nebulizer for the generation of aerosolized medications, based on a physicians' prescription. Nebulizers are used to convert liquid medication to aerosol form for delivery to a patient through inhalation. The device is comprised of three major components: (1) an enclosure; (2) a compressor; and (3) wiring components
The enclosure is made of a flame retardant material which provides mechanical protection from the environmental effects and impact loads to the device Air is drawn through the polypropylene filter to remove dust particles. The power switch is located on the rear of the unit between the two shrouds.
The oil-free, small piston diaphragm compressor is the primary performance component of the Model IRC 1001 Aerosol Compressor, and provides the compressed air to the nebulizer. The compressor is kept cool during operation by an integral thermoplastic fan. The main wiring components are the power cord, and the power switch. Power to the compressor is controlled by actuation of the power switch when the unit is connected to line voltage.
The IRC 1001 Aerosol Compressor is portable, weighing 3.5 pounds. It has a nominal nebulizer operating pressure of 10 psig and nebulization rate of 5.5 -6.0 lpm. It includes one of two different disposable nebulizer packages. These are the Medic-Aid Ltd. "Side Stream" Nebulizer (Invacare Model MS 2100) and the Allegiance "Misty-Ncb" Nobulizer (Invacare Model Number MS 2200). Each nebulizer package includes a mouthpiece, a nebulizer, a connector tube and flexible air tubing.
The nebulization particle size varies slightly depending on which of the above nebulizers is used. When used with the Sidestream nebulizer, mass median diameter is 3.0 um. When used with the Misty-Neb nebulizer, mass median diameter is 2.01 um (Average ± 0.12 std. dev.). To operate the Model IRC 1001 Aerosol Compressor, one end of the air tubing is secured to the compressor air outlet while the nebulizer is fitted to the other end of the tubing. The patient then adds the liquid medication according to the physician's prescription and plugs the power cord into the wall outlet.
The clean nebulizer mouthpiece is inserted into the nebulizer and the unit is turned on to start the compressor. After passing through the compressor, the air expands and the resulting high pressure causes liquid in its path to break into droplets of microscopic size. These droplets are projected on an air current for disposition into the respiratory tract.
