Intended Use

The LC Sprint is a handheld nebulizer, designed to aerosolize medication approved for nebulization and prescribed by a physician. The LC Sprint is intended for adult and pediatric patients consistent with the indications for the aerosol medication.

Device Description

The LC Sprint is a small, single patient use, reusable air-powered nebulizer for the inhalation treatment of aerosolized medications. The device is non-sterile, prescription-use only, intended for use in hospital, clinic, or home environments.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the LC Sprint Reusable Nebulizer, its indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices, but it contains limited information regarding specific acceptance criteria and the detailed study proving the device meets accepted criteria.

Based on the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Implicitly based on predicate device equivalence)Reported Device Performance (LC Sprint)
Aerosolization EfficiencyComparable MMAD (Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter) to predicate devices (Airlife® Misty Max 10TM Nebulizer, PARI LC® Star Nebulizer)MMAD is comparable to the predicate devices.
Residual MedicationComparable RM (Residual Medication) to predicate devicesRM is comparable to the predicate devices.
Total Mass DeliveryComparable Total Mass to predicate devicesTotal Mass is comparable to the predicate devices.
Safety and EffectivenessMeets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.Meets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.
Technological CharacteristicsSimilar materials, breath-enhanced design, and 2-way valve system to predicate devices.Employs similar materials, similar breath-enhanced design, and utilizes a 2-way valve system similar to the I.C Star (predicate).

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for the performance tests (MMAD, RM, Total Mass). It is only stated that the LC Sprint was "tested to compare performance to the predicate devices." The data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) is not mentioned.

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

This information is not applicable and not provided. The study focuses on objective performance metrics of the device compared to predicate devices, not on expert interpretations or diagnoses that would require ground truth established by experts.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable and not provided. The study involves measuring physical device performance metrics, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is a nebulizer for medication delivery, and its performance is assessed through physical characteristics (MMAD, RM, Total Mass) rather than through diagnostic interpretation by human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm. Its performance is inherent in its design and operation.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by the independent measurement of the physical properties related to aerosolized medication delivery, specifically:

  • MMAD (Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter): A measure of the particle size of the aerosol.
  • RM (Residual Medication): The amount of medication remaining in the nebulizer after use.
  • Total Mass: The total quantity of medication delivered.

These metrics are considered objective and measurable, and their values are compared directly to those of legally marketed predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. The LC Sprint is a physical medical device, not a machine learning algorithm, and therefore does not have a "training set" in the computational sense.

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

This information is not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.

Device Description

The LC Sprint is a small, single patient use, reusable air-powered nebulizer for the inhalation treatment of aerosolized medications. The device is non-sterile, prescription-use only, intended for use in hospital, clinic, or home environments.

Indications For Use

The LC Sprint is a handheld nebulizer, designed to aerosolize medication approved for nebulization and prescribed by a physician. The LC Sprint is intended for adult and pediatric patients consistent with the indications for the aerosol medication.

Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Device

I.C Sprint, Misty Max 10, and I.C Star are all nebulizers used to aerosolize medication for inhalation. All three devices are air compressor-driven jet nebulizers using the same acrosolization method.

LC Sprint employs similar materials compared to the I.C. Star nebulizer, has a similar breath-enhanced design, and utilizes a 2-way valve system similar to that used by the I.C Star.

Non-Clinical Test Summary

I.C Sprint was tested to compare performance to the predicate devices, including:

  • . MMAD: LC Sprint MMAD is comparable to the predicate devices
  • . RM: I.C. Sprint RM is comparable to the predicate devices
  • Total Mass: LC Sprint Total Mass is comparable to the predicate devices

Clinical Performance Summary

Clinical testing was not completed is not required to show substantial equivalence.

Conclusions from Testing

I.C Sprint meets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Mosenkis:

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.
