Intended Use
Exhalation outlet for use between masks without openings and air tube for sleep apnoea therapy including quick connector/disconnector
Device Description
The Aero-Click ® is a passive exhalation outlet which is placed in the patient circuit between the mask and the air tube of a sleep apnoea therapy device to provide a continuous leak path for the patients exhaled air. It is placed near the patient's face and allows quick connection/disconnection of the mask from the sleep apnoea therapy device. The device consists of 2 parts which can be easily disconnected. It can be cleaned with dish-washing detergents. Cleaning requires disconnection of the device. The device can be desinfected with Cidex ®.
More Information

Due to the current limitations of the provided document, I cannot identify the Predicate Device(s) K/DEN number. The text only mentions "Respironics Whisper Swivel II" without providing a K/DEN number.

Not Found

No
The device description and other sections do not mention any AI or ML capabilities. It is described as a passive mechanical component.

No.
The device is a passive exhalation outlet that provides a continuous leak path for exhaled air in a sleep apnea therapy device; it does not directly provide therapy itself but is an accessory to a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as an "exhalation outlet" for sleep apnea therapy, providing a "continuous leak path for the patients exhaled air." Its function is mechanical (allowing air out) and connective (quick connection/disconnection), not to analyze or diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "passive exhalation outlet" consisting of "2 parts" that are physically placed in a patient circuit. This describes a hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, 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 (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Aero-Click ® is described as a passive exhalation outlet used in sleep apnea therapy. Its function is to manage exhaled air and facilitate connection/disconnection of the mask. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for sleep apnea therapy, not for diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Aero-Click ® falls under the category of a therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Differences between other legally marketed devices:

The differences between the Whisper Swive! II and the Aero-Click ® are as follows: Use of a stainless steel spring to assure safe connection of both parts of the device instead of polycarbonate.

Flow at 100% relative humidity is higher in Aero-Click ® compared to Whisper Swivel II. The 2 parts of the device can be quickly connected/disconnected without removing the mask
