The device description explicitly states that SmartTouch is a "clip-on device that attaches externally around the enclosure of an MDI" and includes "Optical and pressure sensor methods," an "LED indicator and control button," and a "Bluetooth interface." These are all hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the SmartTouch 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.
- SmartTouch Function: The SmartTouch device is an electronic data capture accessory that attaches to an MDI to record actuations. It monitors the use of a medical device (the MDI) and logs that usage data. It does not analyze any biological samples from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for recording actuations of prescribed MDI usage for compliance monitoring and tracking. This is related to medication adherence, not diagnosing a condition based on biological samples.
- Device Description: The description details sensors for detecting MDI presence and actuation, and a Bluetooth interface for data transfer. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
- Anatomical Site: The device is attached to an external medical device (MDI), not applied to or interacting with an anatomical site for diagnostic purposes.
In summary, the SmartTouch is a compliance monitoring device for medication usage, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical testing of the SmartTouch has been carried out to cover functional verification and device performance. This included completion of software and device verification procedures, with performance testing of the MDI presence and actuation sensor system to ensure data is logged accurately for MDI usage. This established correct functionality of the SmartTouch according to requirements.
Review and testing of the SmartTouch for compliance to IEC 60601 series standards for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental performance; and FCC regulations for radio frequency devices; has been completed by external laboratories.
Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the SmartTouch. The product functionality has been adequately assessed by bench testing as above.

(a)(4) Description of the Device
SmartTouch is used to provide a compliance monitoring for use of a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI).
SmartTouch is a clip-on device that attaches externally around the enclosure of an MDI. Optical and pressure sensor methods are used to detect MDI presence and actuation, and the device logs the usage history of the MDI. The device includes an LED indicator and control button to check device status and manually initiate communications functions. The SmartTouch has a Bluetooth interface to wirelessly exchange data with a communications device.
(a){5) Statement of the Intended Use
The SmartTouch is intended for single-patient use as an electronic data capture accessory for recording actuations of prescribed MDI usage. This may be used in the following applications:
- In clinical trials, where researchers need to know when a patient has actuated their trial MDI . medication;
- In clinical practice, where specialists, general practitioners, nurses, and educators need to know if . a patient has actuated their prescribed MDI medication.
1
- In self-management, where patients need to track their medication use as part of their management plan.
The SmartTouch is not intended to indicate remaining quantity of medication in an MDI and does not include a dose counting function.
(a)(6) Technological Characteristics Summary
Technological characteristics of the SmartTouch are largely equivalent to the predicate device listed above. Equivalent features between the devices include: configuration in attaching to the outside of an MDI enclosure: microprocessor control and use of an internal clock, to log date and time of MDI actuations; power supply from an internal battery; interface to a communications device to upload MDI usage data; and capability to provide compliance data for further analysis using remote review software.
The sensor technology used to detect MDI actuation is different from the predicate device, as is the communications technology. These aspects of the device have been verified by non-clinical testing to establish equivalent performance to the predicate device.
(b)(1)_Discussion of the Non-Clinical Tests
Non-clinical testing of the SmartTouch has been carried out to cover functional verification and device performance. This included completion of software and device verification procedures, with performance testing of the MDI presence and actuation sensor system to ensure data is logged accurately for MDI usage. This established correct functionality of the SmartTouch according to requirements.
Review and testing of the SmartTouch for compliance to IEC 60601 series standards for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental performance; and FCC regulations for radio frequency devices; has been completed by external laboratories.
(b)(2) Discussion of the Clinical Tests
Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the SmartTouch. The product functionality has been adequately assessed by bench testing as above.
(b)(3) Conclusions Demonstrating Safety, Effectiveness and Performance
Finished device testing carried out for the SmartTouch indicates it meets design and performance functional requirements. Software verification demonstrates that device features are effective, and functions equivalently to the predicate device meets standard requirements for wireless communications, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental performance.
This information indicates that the SmartTouch is equivalent to the predicate device in terms of device safety and effectiveness.
