Device Description
The IQTeQ Spirometer2001 is a handheld spirometer that connects to a Personal Computer (PC) via a Universal Serial Bus (USB) port cable connection. Windows based software on the PC runs the diagnostic spirometer application. The device consists of a plastic handle which houses the amplified pressure transducer, analog to digital conversion, USB microcontroller and connection to the USB cable. The electronic component is screened and connects to the USB cable screen. The entire electronic component is sealed in epoxy (Eli-Cast FR 453) and permanently fixed into the handle with epoxy. The electronics in the handle is powered by the 0 and 5volt power supply, which is provided with all USB ports. The top of the handle has a circular tube for connection to the flow tube, which is inserted into the handle tube. The flow tube, which includes a laminar flow air resistance element, is inserted into the handle tube. Porting of the flow tube and the handle tube allows air pressure to connect to the pressure transducer in the handle. Two 'O' rings maintain an airtight seal between the tubes. The flow tube includes an inert ceramic (CORDIERITE) laminar flow air resistance element. The patient is connected by mouth to a bacterial filter, which is fitted to the flow tube. The patient breathes as instructed through the flow tube. The pressure transducer in the handle continuously transmits the differential pressure in the flow tube to the analog to digital converter. The digitized 12 bit data is sent to the PC via the USB port at 335, 12bit samples per second. The IQTeQ application software which requires Windows 98 SE or later calculates the flow and integrates flow to calculate volume. The flows are calculated from the 12 bit data by applying the calibration polynomial algorithm. Therefor all flow and volume data is calculated in real time for the flow-volume measurements which includes: Peak Flow, Forced Vital Capacity, Forced Expiratory Flows Forced Inspiratory Vital Capacity as well as MVV and SVC.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on hardware components, data acquisition, and standard spirometry calculations using a calibration polynomial algorithm. There is no mention of AI or ML techniques for data analysis, interpretation, or diagnosis.

No
The device is a diagnostic spirometer used for pulmonary function evaluation and data management, and not for directly treating a condition.

Yes

The document explicitly states that the device is a "clinical diagnostic spirometer" and that the PC software "runs the diagnostic spirometer application." Additionally, its intended use includes evaluating, assessing, describing, measuring, or monitoring various conditions related to pulmonary function, which are all diagnostic activities.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a handheld spirometer with a pressure transducer, analog to digital converter, USB microcontroller, and a flow tube with a laminar flow air resistance element. While it uses software on a PC, it is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • IQTeQ Spirometer Function: The IQTeQ Spirometer measures pulmonary function by having the patient breathe directly into the device. It measures airflow and volume based on pressure changes. This is a direct physiological measurement from the patient's body, not an examination of a specimen derived from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "pulmonary function evaluation and data management" and involves the patient breathing into the device.

Therefore, the IQTeQ Spirometer falls under the category of a physiological measurement device rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

There are various parameters that are displayed to assist the technician in quality control of the test procedure as is requested by the ATS 1994 update document.

The system has a calibration procedure that requires 6 varying strokes from a 3 liter syringe.

  1. The IOTeO Spirometer is indicated for use by Adult/Pediatric, Male/Female, to monitor, measure and evaluate pulmonary function parameters the in hospitals, clinics, physicians offices, industrial health screening and homes (as prescribed by a physician) of the following:

Forced Flow/Volume measurements, Forced Flows, Slow Vital capacity, Forced Inspiratory Volumes and Flows, MVV.

To evaluate the presence, extent, progression, physiologic disturbance and course of therapy of lung disease.

  1. Comparison to predicates:

The IQTeO Spirometer is similar to the predicates in #3. The only significant difference is the method of communication to the PC. The predicate devices both connected by serial port. The IQTeO Spirometer connects via the newly adopted Universal Serial Bus (USB) PC standard, which supercedes the serial port. The USB has a number of advantages over the serial port. The USB port supplies a 5 volts power supply. Devices that connect to the PC via USB are 'Plug n Play', devices which communicate at higher speeds and more reliably than the serial port. PC's do not come equipped with serial ports anymore and only USB ports are fitted. Apart from small software design layout differences and other minor differences in characteristics The IQTeQ Spirometer is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and does not raise any new questions regarding safety or effectiveness. As with the predicate devices, the IQTeQ Spirometer has been tested for compliance to the ATS1994 standards. The IQTeQ Spirometer also complies with the EN60601-1, IEC60601-1 electrical safety and emmision standards.
