Intended Use
The VIP Bird Gold and VIP Sterling are ventilators intended to treat respiratory failure or respiratory insufficiency, in neonatal, infant and pediatric patients. The ventilators are intended for institutional use only, and not for emergency medical transport or home use.
Device Description
The V.I.P Bird ventilator is a self-contained unit, combining an advanced pneumatic system with microprocessor -based technology. The result is a state-of-the-art ventilator system capable of providing excellent patient monitoring. Packaged in a compact lightweight unit, the V.I.P. Bird Gold/Sterling will incorporate all previous function of the V.I.P. Bird and the addition of Pressure Control mode of ventilation with Variable Rise Time, Volume Assured Pressure Support, Flow Triggering in Volume modes and a decelerating waveform. Other enhancements include expanded control setting range for Tidal Volume, improved resolution for the Inspiratory Time and Peak Flow controls. These specifications also include the volume monitoring functions of the Partner IIi.
More Information

No
The description mentions "microprocessor-based technology" and "advanced pneumatic system" but does not include any terms or descriptions indicative of AI or ML, such as "AI," "ML," "deep learning," "neural network," or descriptions of training/test data.

Yes
The device is a ventilator intended to treat respiratory failure or insufficiency, which are medical conditions, thus making it a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as a ventilator intended to treat respiratory failure or insufficiency, not to diagnose a condition. While it has "excellent patient monitoring" capabilities, monitoring is distinct from diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "self-contained unit, combining an advanced pneumatic system with microprocessor -based technology," indicating it includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

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 ventilator intended to treat respiratory failure or insufficiency. This is a therapeutic device used to support breathing, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description details a pneumatic system and microprocessor-based technology for ventilation and patient monitoring. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information based on the analysis of these samples.
    • Using reagents or assays.

Therefore, the V.I.P Bird Gold and VIP Sterling ventilators are medical devices, but they fall under the category of therapeutic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.
