Intended Use
The TruZone™ Peak Flow Meter (PFM) is a portable monitoring device that measures the peak expiratory flow (PEF) generated by a patient during a forced exhalation maneuver. This measurement is useful in detecting changes in airways that could signal a worsening of symptoms or an improvement in breathing function for people with respiratory conditions such as Asthma and emphysema. This device is packaged and labeled so it can be used as a screening device in a hospital or other clinical setting. Labeling is also included for the use of the device if dispensed by a health care provider to a patient for personal use.

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard peak flow meter which measures a physical parameter (peak expiratory flow) and does not mention any computational analysis or algorithms that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a "portable monitoring device" that "measures the peak expiratory flow (PEF)". Its purpose is to detect changes in airways to signal worsening or improvement of symptoms, which is a diagnostic or monitoring function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

Explanation: The device measures peak expiratory flow (PEF) to detect changes in airways that could signal worsening or improvement of symptoms in respiratory conditions, which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable monitoring device that measures the peak expiratory flow (PEF)". This indicates a physical hardware component is involved in the measurement process, not just software.

Based on the provided information, the TruZone™ Peak Flow Meter (PFM) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • TruZone™ PFM Function: The TruZone™ PFM measures the peak expiratory flow (PEF) generated by a patient during a forced exhalation maneuver. This is a direct measurement of a physiological function (airflow from the lungs), not an analysis of a specimen taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as a "portable monitoring device that measures the peak expiratory flow (PEF)". This aligns with a device that measures a physical parameter, not one that analyzes biological samples.

Therefore, the TruZone™ Peak Flow Meter falls under the category of a medical device that measures a physiological parameter, but it is not an IVD.

Dear Mr. Cochie:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
