Yes
The device converts liquid medication into aerosol for inhalation, which is a therapeutic action.
No
Explanation: The device's intended use is to convert liquid medication into aerosol for inhalation, which is a treatment delivery function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The intended use clearly describes a device that converts liquid medication into aerosol, which is a physical process requiring hardware (e.g., a nebulizer). This is not a software-only function.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "convert liquid medication into aerosol for inhalation by patient." This describes a device used for drug delivery, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
- Lack of Diagnostic Activity: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The provided description does not mention any such activity.
The device described is a type of medical device, likely a nebulizer, used for administering medication directly to the lungs. This falls under the category of therapeutic devices, not diagnostic ones.
