Device Description
The BARA-MED® and its predicate devices have the same intended use: to promote the movement of oxygen into a patient's tissues by causing him to resvire oxygen at a pressure that is greater than that of the earth's atmosphere (i.e., 1 ATA). Specifically, the BARA-MED® and the predicate devices are indicated for air or gas embolism; carbon monoxide poisoning and carbon monoxide poisoning complicated by cyanide poisoning; clostridial myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene); crush injury, compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias; decompression sickness; enhancement of healing in selected problem wounds; exceptional blood loss (anemia); intracranial abscess; necrotizing soft tissue infections; refractory osteomyelitis; delayed radiation injury (soft tissue and bony necrosis); compromised skin grafts and flaps; thermal burns. These indications for use are in accordance with the recommendations made by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society for the medical application of hyperbaric chambers. The BARA-MED® and its predicate devices have very similar general principles of operation. All of these chambers are pressurized and ventilated continuously with pure oxygen, and the patient breathes the chamber atmosphere. Also, in each of the chambers, the pressure-time profile i.e., the rate and direction of pressure change and the time held at any particular pressure), as well as the oxygen ventilation rate of any treatment, are controlled by the chamber's operator, either directly by means of a pneumatic or electronic system, or indirectly by means of an automatic electronic system. The purposes of such controls are to be able to conduct the particular hyperbaric oxygen treatment prescribed by the physician in a way that is save and comfortable for the patient, and to be able to respond appropriately and effectively to any contingency circumstance. The ETC BARA-MED® is designed and manufactured in accordance with the applicable sections of: - ASME Boiler and Presser Vessel Code, Section VII, Rules for ● Construction of Pressure Vessels, Division 1, 1998 Edition. - . ASME PVHO-1-1997, Safety Standard for Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy. - NFPA 99, Standard for Health Care Facilities, Chapter 19, 199 . Edition. In all respects, the BARA-MED® is substantially equivalent to one or more clinical monoplace hyperbaric chambers that are legally marketed for the conduct of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and control systems of a hyperbaric chamber, with no mention of AI or ML for data analysis, control optimization, or any other function. The controls are described as being operated by the user or an automatic electronic system, which does not inherently imply AI/ML.

Yes.
The device description explicitly states its intended use is "to promote the movement of oxygen into a patient's tissues" for a wide range of medical conditions, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device description states its purpose is to "promote the movement of oxygen into a patient's tissues" for treatment, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly details a physical hyperbaric chamber ("BARA-MED®") that is pressurized and ventilated, and references standards for the construction of pressure vessels and safety standards for pressure vessels for human occupancy. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is a "hyperbaric chamber" used to "promote the movement of oxygen into a patient's tissues by causing him to resvire oxygen at a pressure that is greater than that of the earth's atmosphere". This is a therapeutic device that directly treats the patient, not a device that analyzes samples in vitro.
  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The listed indications are all clinical conditions treated directly within the hyperbaric chamber (e.g., carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, wound healing). None of these involve analyzing patient samples outside the body.

The device is a therapeutic device used for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
