The summary focuses on recording, storing, transmitting, and displaying MDI usage data, along with providing reminders and self-management education. There is no mention of AI or ML being used for analysis, prediction, or any other advanced processing of the data. The performance studies also focus on functional verification and compliance with standards, not on the performance of any AI/ML algorithms.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an accessory to assist in recording and monitoring MDI usage and to improve adherence to MDI medications through feedback and education, not directly treating a condition. It explicitly states it is not intended to diagnose or replace a diagnosis.
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The Propeller System is not inlended to diagnose or replace a diaonosis provided by a licensed physician." It is designed to assist in recording and monitoring MDI usage and improving adherence, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states "Electronic MDI Accessory" and the performance studies mention testing of the "MDI actuation sensor system" and "Propeller Sensor," indicating a hardware component is part of the system.
Based on the provided information, the Propeller System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "recording and monitoring the actuations of prescribed MDI usage," "reviewing information collected from the MDI sensor," and "reviewing symptoms and other information about their disease management." It also mentions helping to "reduce the frequency of respiratory health symptoms and exacerbations by increasing adherence to MDI medications."
- No mention of in vitro testing: The description of the device and its intended use does not involve any testing of samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body. IVD devices are specifically designed for such in vitro testing to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
- Focus on device usage and patient-reported information: The system's primary function is to track the use of an MDI and allow users to input and review information related to their condition and medication adherence.
- Explicitly states it's not for diagnosis: The intended use explicitly states, "The Propeller System is not intended to diagnose or replace a diagnosis provided by a licensed physician." This is a key characteristic that differentiates it from many IVD devices.
In summary, the Propeller System is a device that monitors and provides information about the use of a prescribed medication delivery device (MDI) and related patient-reported data. It does not perform any in vitro diagnostic tests.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Propeller System includes the Propeller MDI Model 2 Sensor. The sensor is an accessory device intended for single-patient use to assist physicians and patients in recording and monitoring the actuations of prescribed MDI usage.
The Propeller Mobile Application records, stores, and transmits usage events from Propeller Sensors, or via manual user entry, to a remote storage system. With the Propeller Mobile Application the user can review information collected from the MDI sensor, and report and review symptoms and other information about their disease management and its impact. The user may also share their information with their caregivers, physician and healthcare providers.
The Propeller Web Application is software that, like the Propeller Mobile Application, is intended to allow users to review the collected information and characteristics of their MDI and its use, to capture other patientreported information and outcomes, and to allow that information to be shared with their caregivers, physicians and health care providers.
When used under the care of a physician with a prescribed MDI, the system can report on information captured during the normal course of use, such as the time between actuations that can be helpful in assessing MDI technique.
When used under the care of a physician with a prescribed MDI, the system can be used to reduce the frequency of respiratory health symptoms and exacerbations by increasing adherence to MDI medications through the use of feedback such as reminders and notifications, and self-management education.
The Propeller System is intended to be used in populations from Child (>2 years) to adult.
The Propeller system can be used both indoors and outdoors: home. work and clinical settings, as well as on aircraft.
The Propeller System may also be used in clinical trials where researchers need to know information about the use of MDI medication(s) by a participant. The output of the Propeller System is not intended to diagnose or replace a diagnosis provided by a licensed physician.
The Propeller System is not intended for use as an MDI dose counter. nor is it intended to indicate the quantity of medication remaining in an MDI.

Technology Comparison: Technological characteristics of the Propeller System and the Asthmapolis System are largely equivalent. Similarities include the indications for use, basic principle of operation, data collection information, time of data recording via internal clock, utilization of software for varying types of data review and modification, dose counting characteristics and internal power source type.
The Propeller System employs these technological characteristics in a similar way as the predicate device.
Differences include power management: the Model 2 Sensor is not rechargeable; the method used to send the usage data from the sensor to the mobile device is Bluetooth, low energy. Expanded indications for use include software feature additions such as display of time between individual actuations of the MDI Propeller Sensor that can be used to assess technique (defined as the time between inhalations, or "puffs"). This was recorded previously, but not displayed, and a greater focus than previously labeled to include use of the system to reduce the frequency of symptoms and exacerbations through review of data recorded by the patient, and the data recorded by the patient's Propeller Sensor. By reviewing the recorded data displayed by the Propeller System, the physician or care provider can identify that a patient's state is worsening, and as a result, may choose to take action, such as contacting their patient. These aspects of the device have been verified and validated in order to establish equivalent performance to the equivalent device. This information indicates that the Propeller System is equivalent to the predicate device in terms of device safety and effectiveness.
Based upon this comparison of the predicate, and the accompanying testing results for the Propeller System, the Propeller System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
