No
The summary describes a standard spirometer using a mechanical flow sensor and does not mention any AI/ML components or algorithms.
No.
The device is a diagnostic device used to measure lung function parameters for the diagnosis and screening of COPD. It does not provide any therapeutic intervention.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that "The results can be used for the diagnosis of COPD in adult smokers" and "conforms to ATS standards for diagnostic devices."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "battery operated hand held portable spirometer" and uses a "uni-directional, rotating vane, flow sensing turbine," indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device function: The device described measures exhaled breath directly from the patient. This is a non-invasive measurement of a physiological parameter (lung function).
- Lack of sample analysis: The device does not analyze a biological sample taken from the patient. It measures the physical characteristics of the breath as it is expelled.
While the device is used for diagnosis (specifically of COPD), the method of measurement (exhaled breath) places it outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic. It is a diagnostic device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The device measures the exhaled breath of a patient, specifically FEV1. The results can be used for the diagnosis of COPD in adult smokers.
The device measures expiratory lung function parameters, specifically FEV1 and conforms to ATS standards for diagnostic devices. The results obtained can be used for screening of COPD in adult smokers.

Device Description
The PulmoLife is a battery operated hand held portable spirometer. It uses a uni-directional, rotating vane, flow sensing turbine to measure lung function parameters, specifically Forced Expiratory Volume in the 1st second of expiration (FEV1) and FEV1 as a percentage of the predicted value (FEV1 %predicted). Lung age estimation is also given. It is supplied with one way valve safety mouthpieces, carrying pouch and instruction manual.

Dear Mr. Hillsley:
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.
