Intended Use
The InspiraChamber® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber is intended to be used by patients who are under the care or treatment of a licensed health care professional. The device is intended to be used by these patients to administer aerosolized medication from most pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers, (pMDIs). Environment of use - Home, hospitals and clinics where patients may require the use of a holding chamber with pMDIs. The intended patient population is 3 years and older who have been prescribed pMDI medications.
Device Description
The InspiraChamber® is intended for use in the inhalation of medications delivered via an MDI and for which the medication is to be delivered to the upper and lower respiratory system. The device consists of a translucent housing and mouth piece or face mask and a one-way valve to prevent exhaling into the chamber. The InspiraChamber® is intended to be used to inhale aerosolized drugs of approved MDIs from the following groups of active substances: - · Corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medications) - · Anti-cholinergics and B2-sympathomimetics (bronchodilater medications) - · Non-steroidal chromones (DNCG) It is a single patient, multi-use, non-sterile device.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and aerosol delivery performance of a valved holding chamber, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
Explanation: The device is an anti-static valved holding chamber intended to administer aerosolized medication from a Metered Dose Inhaler. It assists in the delivery of medication but is not a therapeutic device itself.

No

The device is a valved holding chamber intended to aid in the administration of aerosolized medication from a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI). It is a passive device that facilitates drug delivery and does not collect or analyze data for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (translucent housing, mouthpiece/face mask, one-way valve) and the performance studies involve physical testing of these components and their interaction with aerosolized medication. This indicates a hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the InspiraChamber® Anti-Static Valved Holding Chamber is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to administer aerosolized medication from pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers (pMDIs) to patients for inhalation into the respiratory system. This is a therapeutic delivery device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and function of a holding chamber for medication delivery.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are related to the aerosol characteristics and delivery of the medication through the device (particle size, dose delivered, etc.). These are relevant to the performance of a drug delivery device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Key Metrics: The key metrics measured (Total Respirable Dose Delivered, Particle Size, etc.) are related to the efficiency and characteristics of drug delivery, not to the detection or measurement of substances in a biological sample.
  • No mention of biological samples: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which is a core characteristic of IVD devices.

In summary, the InspiraChamber® is a medical device designed to facilitate the delivery of medication to the respiratory system. It does not perform any diagnostic testing on biological samples.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A series of aerosol performance tests were performed using an 8 stage cascade impactor at a sampling flow rates of 28 lpm and 12 lpm, equipped with a USP induction port throat. Aerosol was sampled directly from the outlet. A summary of the results is listed below with 95% confidence intervals.

@ 28 Ipm - 3 samples of the device were tested with 3 drugs, 3 times for a total of 9 sample points.

@ 12 lpm - 3 samples of the device were tested with 3 drugs, 3 times for a total of 9 sample points.

MDI only - 3 samples were tested with 3 drugs.
