Intended Use

Fenom Pro™ Nitric Oxide Test is a portable, non-invasive device to measure fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in human breath. FeNO is increased in some airway inflammatory processes, such as asthma, and often decreases in response to anti-inflammatory treatment of FeNO by Fenom Pro™ is a method to measure the decrease in FeNO concentration in asthma patients that often occurs after treatment with anti-inflammatory pharmacological therapy as an indication of therapeutic effect in patients with elevated FeNO levels. FeNO measurements are to be used as an adjunct to established clinical assessments. Fenom Pro™ is suitable for children, approximately 7-17 years, and adults 18 years and older.

Testing using the Fenom Pro™ should only be done in a point-of-care healthcare setting under professional supervision. Fenom Pro™ should not be used in critical care, emergency care or in anesthesiology.

Device Description

Fenom Pro™ is a point-of-care breath analyzer that uses solid-state electrochemical technology to measure the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), a marker for airway inflammation, in human exhaled breath. Measurement of FeNO by Fenom Pro is a quantitative and non-invasive method to indicate therapeutic effects of anti-inflammatory pharmacological therapy in patients with elevated FeNO levels. Fenom Pro™ is suitable for children, approximately 7-17 years, and adults 18 years and older.

Fenom Pro uses solid state, potentiometric, sensor technology sensitive to nitric oxides (NO) compounds. The solid state sensor is fluidly preceded by a reactive filter material that renders (oxidizes) potentially confounding species such as carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH4), and methanol (CH4O) inactive, or inert, to the NO sensor. Fenom Pro provides visual and audible feedback during its use. The visual and audible feedback is especially important during the FeNO measurement such that the user can modulate their breath speed within the flow parameters required by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) standards.

Fenom Pro is comprised of four major components. The main unit contains a touch screen interface for the use as well as houses the nitric oxide sensor and pneumatics needed to sample the patient's breath. The patient interfaces with Fenom though the mouthpiece which is attached to the handpiece. The handpiece is connected to the main unit via a breath tube. The handpiece contains a breath conditioning cartridge which prepares the breath sample from the patient for proper analysis in the main unit. Both the mouthpiece and the breath conditioning cartridge are consumables.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document details non-clinical (analytical) and clinical studies. We will parse the acceptance criteria and performance from these sections.

Non-Clinical (Analytical) Performance:

Study CategoryAcceptance CriteriaReported Device PerformancePass/Fail (based on stated performance)
AccuracyFor 15 ppb: +/- 5 ppbAcross 5 environmental conditions for 2 devices and 5 replicates each, all results for 15 ppb target concentration were within +/- 5 ppb. (e.g., Ambient T/RH: GP18 had upper 95% error limit of 0.17ppb and lower of -1.97ppb; GP35 had upper 0.44ppb and lower -3.84ppb).Pass
For 75 ppb & 200 ppb: +/- 10%Across 5 environmental conditions for 2 devices and 5 replicates each, all results for 75 ppb and 200 ppb target concentrations were within +/- 10%. (e.g., Ambient T/RH: GP18 had upper 1.83% and lower -2.12% for 75ppb; High T/Low RH: GP35 had upper -1.63% and lower -3.38% for 200ppb).Pass
Precision (Repeatability)Not explicitly stated as a pass/fail criterion in the table, but reported as SD (ppb) and %CV.For 10 ppb: SDs ranged from 1.1 to 1.9 ppb. For 25 ppb: SDs ranged from 1.2 to 2.3 ppb. For 75 ppb: %CVs ranged from 3.2% to 7.1%. For 200 ppb: %CVs ranged from 3.0% to 7.3%.N/A (Data Reported)
Precision (Within-Device)Not explicitly stated as a pass/fail criterion in the table, but reported as SD (ppb) and %CV.For 10 ppb: SDs ranged from 1.2 to 2.3 ppb. For 25 ppb: SDs ranged from 1.2 to 3.3 ppb. For 75 ppb: %CVs ranged from 4.3% to 7.5%. For 200 ppb: %CVs ranged from 3.4% to 8.5%.N/A (Data Reported)
LinearitySlope between 0.95 and 1.05 and R (correlation coefficient) presumably close to 1.0.Device GammaPrime42: Slope 1.03, Intercept 2.32, R 0.999. Device GammaPrime49: Slope 1.02, Intercept 0.231, R 0.999. Combined: Slope 1.02, Intercept 1.27, R 0.998.Pass
Limit of Detection (LoD)< 10 ppbDevice #1: LoD = 1.8 ppb. Device #2: LoD = 4.6 ppb.Pass
Interference (Other Gases)Change in response <= 4 ppb NO equivalentFor acetaldehyde, acetone, ammonia, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ethanol, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, isoprene, oxygen: all interferences were <= 4 ppb NO equivalent. Acetonitrile showed 120.8 ppb interference, but is only present in exhaled breath when recently smoked, and the device is labeled for use not after smoking.Pass (with labeling mitigation for acetonitrile)
Interference (Exogenous Substances)Mean difference between 60 minutes and baseline values <= 5 ppb. Lower and upper 95% confidence intervals around the means must include zero.All 7 tested substances (Alcohol Free Mouthwash, Caffeinated Soda, Caffeine Free Soda, Menthol Lozenge, Mouthwash with Alcohol, Non-Menthol Lozenge, Toothpaste) showed mean differences <= 5 ppb and 95% CIs that included zero at 60 minutes.Pass

Clinical Performance:

Study CategoryAcceptance CriteriaReported Device PerformancePass/Fail (based on stated performance)
Clinical Precision (User Bias)No explicit numerical acceptance criteria given, but the objective was to confirm no user bias. The text implies a "very high quantitative agreement."Maximum mean bias observed was only 1.2 ppb between pairs of HCPs. Deming regression, correlation (Pearson R > 0.9873 for all HCP pairs), and all bias analyses demonstrated very high quantitative agreement.Pass (Implied)
Clinical Precision (Within-subject Variability)Less than 5 ppb by mean standard deviation for FeNO values below 50 ppb. %CVs for FeNO values greater than 50 ppb were maintained at less than 10%, "unless sample size was small."Across both clinical precision studies and all age groups: - For FeNO < 50ppb (excluding 0-<10ppb where N=0): Mean SDs were generally less than 5 ppb. Exceptions occurred in small N subgroups (e.g., All ages Visit 1 20-<30ppb where N=5, Mean SD 4.97). - For FeNO >= 50ppb: Mean CVs were generally less than 10%. Exceptions also occurred with small N (e.g., 5-17 Visit 1 75-<100ppb where N=3, Mean CV 18.73%). The document mitigates these by stating "unless sample size was small".Pass (with noted small N exceptions)
Clinical Efficacy (Concordance with established measures)Implicitly, significant concordance between Fenom Pro and other established asthma-related outcome measures (FEV1, ACQ/pACQ).Significant differences between the two visits were achieved for all three modalities (FeNO, spirometry, asthma questionnaires). Kendall's Tau p-values were 0.0370 for FeNO vs. FEV1 and 0.0125 for FeNO vs. ACQ/pACQ, indicating statistically significant correlations (concordance) given typical alpha levels of 0.05.Pass

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Non-Clinical (Analytical):

    • Accuracy and Environmental Testing: 2 devices, 3 concentrations (15, 75, 200 ppb), 5 replicates per concentration, 5 environmental conditions. Total of 150 tests.
    • Precision: 5 devices, 5 operating days, 2 sessions per day, 4 runs per session, 2 replicates per concentration (10, 25, 75, 200 ppb). This calculates to 80 replicates per sample per device according to CLSI EP05-A3.
    • Linearity: 2 devices, 8 NO concentration levels (5, 10, 15, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200 ppb), 5 replicates per concentration. Total 80 tests.
    • Limit of Detection: 2 devices, 0 ppb (60 replicates), 5 ppb (30 replicates), 10 ppb (30 replicates) over three days. Total 120 replicates.
    • Interference (Other Gases): Tested in a laboratory setting. No specific number of tests/replicates provided, but states "The applicable concentration of each substance was generated... and the sensor signal was measured."
    • Interference (Exogenous Substances): Minimum of 10 volunteers per substance (7 substances). This means at least 70 volunteers.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the non-clinical data. It is implied to be laboratory-based and likely retrospective as it's presented as completed tests.
  • Clinical:

    • Clinical Precision (User Bias Study): 127 subjects (44 pediatric, 83 adults). Each subject yielded 6 evaluations (2 Fenom Pro measurements with assistance of 3 HCPs). Data provenance not explicitly stated (e.g., country), but implied prospective data collection for this study.
    • Clinical Precision (Within-subject Variability/Longitudinal Study): 82 subjects (37 pediatric, 45 adults). Each subject provided replicate (n=2) FeNO measurements at Visit 1 (baseline) and Visit 2 (after approx. two weeks). Data provenance not explicitly stated, but implied prospective data collection.
    • Clinical Efficacy (Concordance Study): 82 subjects in longitudinal study (matches the precision study's subject count) - 37 pediatric, 45 adults. 80 subjects for regression analysis (due to missing asthma symptom scores for 2 subjects). Data provenance not explicitly stated, but implied prospective data collection.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Non-Clinical Studies:
    • Accuracy, Precision, Linearity, LoD: Ground truth was established using calibrated reference instruments/methods. Specifically, a chemiluminescence device calibrated against a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) traceable NO tank was used to measure the actual concentration of nitric oxide in simulated breath mixtures. This does not involve human experts in the same way as, for example, image interpretation.
    • Interference (Other Gases): Ground truth was based on the controlled generation of specific gas concentrations and measurement by the device.
    • Interference (Exogenous Substances): The ground truth for this was the subjects' baseline Fenom Pro levels before exposure to the substances, acting as their own control for comparison.
  • Clinical Studies:
    • Clinical Precision (User Bias Study) and Clinical Precision (Within-subject Variability/Longitudinal Study): The ground truth was effectively the FeNO measurements themselves, as performed by the device. The study evaluated agreement between HCPs and within subjects. The study used three healthcare professionals (HCPs) to assist with measurements. Their specific qualifications (e.g., type of healthcare professional, years of experience) are not provided in the summary.
    • Clinical Efficacy (Concordance Study): The "ground truth" for showing clinical efficacy was the change in FeNO, which was correlated with changes in established asthma-related outcome measures (spirometry - FEV1, and asthma questionnaires - ACQ/pACQ). These established measures themselves serve as the comparative ground truth. The expertise in interpreting FEV1 and ACQ/pACQ would be inherent in the clinicians applying these standard assessments but is not explicitly detailed as part of "ground truth establishment" for the device's performance.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Non-Clinical Studies: No adjudication method is applicable as these are instrumental measurements against calibrated standards.
  • Clinical Studies: No formal adjudication method involving multiple experts resolving discrepancies is described for the clinical studies. The "user bias" study quantifies bias between HCPs rather than adjudicating a "true" FeNO value. The other clinical studies compare the device's output to standard clinical measures rather than relying on a panel for ground truth adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, What was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance

This device is a breath test system, not an imaging AI system that assists human readers (like radiologists). Therefore, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study focusing on human reader improvement with AI assistance is not applicable to this device.


6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

The Fenom Pro™ is a point-of-care device that directly measures FeNO. Its non-clinical (analytical) performance tests (Accuracy, Precision, Linearity, LoD, Interference) are essentially standalone performance of the device's measurement algorithm/sensor. While human operators perform the physical test, the output (FeNO value) is generated by the device's internal algorithms from the sensor data, without human interpretation or intervention in the measurement result itself.

The "user bias" clinical study specifically explores human-in-the-loop variance (i.e., how different operators' assistance impacts measurements), which is a crucial aspect for a point-of-care device. However, the core measurement itself, once the breath sample is collected, is standalone.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Non-Clinical (Analytical) Studies:
    • Calibrated Reference Standard: For Accuracy, Precision, and Linearity, the ground truth was established using a chemiluminescence device calibrated against a NIST traceable NO tank measuring specific concentrations of nitric oxide mixed in simulated breath.
    • Controlled Input: For Limit of Detection and Interference (other gases), known, controlled concentrations of gases were presented to the device.
    • Self-reference (Baseline): For Interference (Exogenous Substances), each subject's own baseline Fenom Pro measurement before exposure served as the ground truth for evaluating the impact of the substances.
  • Clinical Studies:
    • Comparative Assessment: For the Clinical Efficacy study, the "ground truth" for demonstrating the device's utility was established by comparison with established clinical assessments: FEV1 (spirometry) and ACQ/pACQ (asthma questionnaires).
    • Internal Consistency: For the Clinical Precision studies, the "ground truth" was essentially the device's own measurement output, and the studies focused on the consistency and variability of these measurements across different operators and occasions.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly describe a "training set" in the context of an machine learning model that would require separate training data. The device appears to be a physical sensor-based measurement system rather than a machine learning algorithm that learns from a dataset.

The listed studies refer to:

  • Non-clinical testing: Performed on a limited number of devices (e.g., 2 devices for accuracy, 5 for precision) against controlled gas mixtures. This is instrument verification/validation, not AI model training.
  • Clinical studies: These are validation studies on human subjects to demonstrate performance characteristics like precision and concordance with established clinical measures, after the device's design is largely finalized. They do not constitute a "training set" for an AI algorithm.

Therefore, the concept of a "training set sample size" as typically understood for AI/ML devices is not applicable here.


9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As explained in point 8, a "training set" for an AI/ML model is not applicable to this device description. The device's fundamental measurement principle relies on solid-state electrochemical sensor technology, calibrated using reference standards in a laboratory setting, rather than being "trained" on a large dataset of patient results.

Accuracy Study Summary

{7}------------------------------------------------

Precision

The precision study was based on CLSI EP05-A3 (80 replicates per sample per device). Nitric oxide was mixed in a balance gas of simulated breath. Samples were measured using a chemiluminescence device calibrated against a NIST traceable NO tank. Data were collected from 5 devices over 5 operating days, 2 sessions per day, 4 runs per session with 2 replicates for each concentration, using the concentrations 10, 25, 75 and 200 ppb, by multiple operators. The data are shown below.

Interference Testing- other gasses

Sensor interference levels were tested in a laboratory setting. The applicable concentration of each substance was generated, the gas stream was fed to the sensor by a gas mixing system, and the sensor signal was measured. In the cases were test concentrations were higher than the minimum test concentrations, the sensor signals were scaled appropriately. Test gases were flowed at 100 ccm, and were exposed to the sensors for 25 seconds. The target was that the change in response to the interference gases at specified minimum or higher concentrations shall be equal to or less than the response of 4 ppb NO.

There were no observed interferences causing a response larger than a 4 ppb NO equivalent response for any of the substances except acetomitrile is only present in exhaled breath when someone has recently smoked 1-2. The ATS recommends that FeNO testing not be performed after smoking, and Fenom Pro is labeled in this manner.

Interference Testing- Exogenous Substances

A study was performed with seven commonly used oral substances (see below). A minimum of 10 volunteers per substance determined their baseline Fenom Pro levels, ingested or used the substance, and then repeated their Fenom Pro measurements 10 minutes and 60 minutes after the exposure. The 10-mintue data were for interest, only. For non-interference to be validated, the mean differences between 60 minutes and baseline values needed to be within 5 ppb. Further, the lower and upper 95% confidence intervals around the means needed to pass through zero.

807.92 (b)(2): Brief Description of Clinical Data

In one study, the clinical precision, as it relates to user bias of Fenom Pro, was evaluated in a mixed study population of 127 subjects- including 44 pediatric subjects (ages 5-17 years) and 83 adults. Subjects were asked to obtain two Fenom Pro measurements with the assistance of three health care professionals (HCPs), for a total of six Fenom Pro evaluations per subject. Both subjects and HCPs completed ease-of-use questionnaires after the testing.

The objective of the evaluation was to confirm there is no user bias for Fenom Pro. The maximum mean bias observed was only 1.2 ppb between pairs of HCPs. Very high quantitative agreement was demonstrated between HCPs by Deming regression, correlation, and all bias analyses as shown in the table below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HCPs and subjects generally indicated favorable responses for the features of the device via their questionnaires. For the subject group, favorable impressions of the system were recorded approximately 93% of time; for the HCP group, favorable impressions of the system were recorded approximately 96% of time.

Clinical Precision was also assessed from a study that closely embodies the clinical use condition, where each subject provided replicate (n = 2) FeNO measurements at Visit 1 (baseline) and Visit 2 (after approximately two weeks of high dose corticosteroid therapy). The data were analyzed by median FeNO scores within FeNO concentration subgroups across the reporting range for the device. The table below presents the whole study population (n=82), but data were also subgrouped by age range: 5 to 17 years (n=37), and ≥ 18 years (n=45). The clinical imprecision was less than 5ppb by mean standard deviation for FeNO values below 50ppb, and %CVs for FeNO values greater than 50ppb were maintained at less than 10%, unless the sample size was small, across all subgroups.

In a third study, Fenom Pro was evaluated to show clinical efficacy; the study was designed to demonstrate that the device can be used successfully to monitor changes in fractional exhaled nitric oxide in uncontrolled asthma patients when therapeutic agents are administered. Specifically, the intent was to show that there is a significant concordance between Fenom Pro and other established asthma-related outcome measures.

A total of 82 subjects (37 five to 17 years of age and 45 aged 18 and older) with uncontrolled asthma participated in a longitudinal study where measurements for FeNO, spirometry, and asthma questionnaires were completed at baseline (Visit 1) and two weeks later (Visit 2) after therapeutic agents were administered. The data demonstrated that significant differences between the two visits were achieved for all three modalities, and therefore concordance between Fenom Pro and the established asthma-related outcome measures.

The results of Passing-Bablok regressions are summarized in the table below for the key asthma condition assessments of FEV1 and ACQ/pACQ that show concordance. Note that two subject records did not have asthma symptom scores available thus study population for the correlations dropped to n=80.

807.92 (b)(3): Conclusions from Nonclinical and Clinical Data

The conclusions drawn from the analytical and clinical data demonstrate that the device is safe and effective for its intended use.

§ 862.3080 Breath nitric oxide test system.

(a)
Identification. A breath nitric oxide test system is a device intended to measure fractional nitric oxide in human breath. Measurement of changes in fractional nitric oxide concentration in expired breath aids in evaluating an asthma patient's response to anti-inflammatory therapy, as an adjunct to established clinical and laboratory assessments of asthma. A breath nitric oxide test system combines chemiluminescence detection of nitric oxide with a pneumotachograph, display, and dedicated software.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Breath Nitric Oxide Test System.” See § 862.1(d) for the availability of this guidance document.
