No
The description focuses on the mechanical and material properties of a simple holding chamber for MDI delivery. There is no mention of any computational or data-driven features that would indicate AI/ML.
No.
The device is a holding chamber designed to aid in the delivery of aerosolized medications, not the medication itself or a device that directly performs a therapeutic action.
No
The device is described as a "collapsible, disposable dual-valved holding chamber designed to aid in the delivery of aerosolized medications." Its purpose is to facilitate medication delivery, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, collapsible paperboard housing with valves, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the LiteAire device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is designed to "aid in the delivery of aerosolized medications delivered via a pressurized metered dose inhaler (MDI)." This is a drug delivery device, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and function of a holding chamber for medication inhalation.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information. The performance studies focus on the device's ability to deliver medication effectively and its physical properties.
Therefore, the LiteAire is a medical device for drug delivery, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The LiteAire is a collapsible, disposable dual-valved holding chamber designed to aid in the delivery of aerosolized medications delivered via a pressurized metered dose inhaler (MDI).
The LiteAire features a standard port designed for compatibility with standard MDI mouthpieces. It is a non-sterile device for single-patient use.
The LiteAire is intended to be used by adults, adolescents and children ages 5 and up who are able to use a holding chamber without the aid of a mask and who are under the care or treatment of a physician or licensed healthcare professional.

Device Description
The Thayer Medical LiteAire Dual-valved, Collapsible MDI Holding Chamber is intended for use in the inhalation of medications delivered via a pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI). The device consists of a collapsible paperboard housing and 2 one-way valves to control the direction of air flow when the patient inhales and exhales through the device. The LiteAire is not sterile, but clean and ready to use right out of the package. The LiteAire can be assembled by gently pushing in the edges of the device. The holding chamber can also be collapsed flat between uses and is anti-static.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Testing Summary:
- Biocompatibility testing: Cytotoxicity testing (ISO 10993-5), Sensitization testing (ISO 10993-10), Intracutaneous Irritation testing (ISO 10993-10), Extractables & Leachables testing (ISO 10993-18 & 17), Off-gas testing (simulation of volatile leachable/contaminant release in a hot vehicle).
- Shelf-life testing: Pre- (new) vs. Post-aged (6 years). Results: There were no differences in appearance, pop-ability and collapsibility, Total Emitted Dose, Course Particle Dose or Fine Particle Dose between the new and aged devices. Inhalation and exhalation valve resistances were acceptably low.
- Environmental and mechanical testing (Simulated Life Cycle testing): Temperature and Humidity testing, Valve Resistance testing. Results: There were no differences in Total Emitted Dose, Course Particle Dose, Fine Particle Dose and breakability upon dropping between the new devices and devices exposed to high temperature and humidity. Inhalation and exhalation valve resistances of "exposed" devices were acceptably low.
- Anti-static surface resistivity testing (ASTM-D-257, NFPA-99 and MIL-PRF-81705D). Results: The LiteAire has a surface resistivity of 1.0 x 10^10 Ω/sq (at 23°C/ 50% RH), meeting "dissipative" or "anti-static" requirements.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion
Table 1 compares the key features of the subject LiteAire with the identified predicate and demonstrates that the device is found to be substantially equivalent.
In summary one can conclude that the substantial equivalence is met based upon the following:
Indications for Use
The indications for use are nearly identical for the subject device (K160109) when compared to the predicate, K993101.
Discussion: Both devices are collapsible and disposable paperboard valved holding chambers which are to be used to aide in the delivery of metered dose inhaled (MDI) medication. Both devices were designed to be used with standard MDIs. Furthermore, both devices are non-sterile devices for single-patient use by patients who are able to inhale through the mouthpiece of a valved holding chamber without the need for a mask.
Environment for Use
The environments of use include the home, hospitals and clinics.
Discussion: The environments of use are equivalent to the predicate K993101 – Thayer Medical LiteAire®. The predicate device (K993101) describes the environment of use to be clinical or non-clinical settings. The subject device (K160109) describes the environment

Image /page/8/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for Thayer Medical. The logo consists of the word "THAYER" in bold, uppercase letters above the word "MEDICAL" in smaller, uppercase letters. Above the words is a square shape filled with a pattern of dots that are arranged in rows, with the dots becoming smaller as they ascend.
LiteAire® 510(k) Summary Page 6 of 9
of use to be homes, hospitals and clinics. Homes, hospitals and clinics are clinical and non-clinical settings.
Patient Population
The patient populations include adults, adolescents and children ages 5 and up who are able to use a holding chamber without the aid of a mask and who are under the care or treatment of a physician or licensed healthcare professional. This is equivalent to the patient population in the predicate that did not specify a patient population, but noted the patient population comprises all users of MDIs who are capable of actuating the MDI canister and inhaling through a mouthpiece.
Discussion: The patient populations are equivalent to the patient populations for the predicate device, K993101 - Thayer Medical LiteAire®.
Technology and Construction
The design, fabrication, shape, size, etc. are equivalent to the predicate, K993101 – Thayer Medical LiteAire®.
Discussion: The designs of the predicate (K993101) and the subject (K160109) devices both incorporate a housing, a polymer window, a one-way valve for inhalation, a oneway valve for exhalation and a patient interface with a mouthpiece. The dimensional changes to the subject LiteAire® (K160109) were shown to result in substantially equivalent performance to the predicate device (K993101) (i.e. equal drug delivery).
Non-Clinical Testing Summary
Biocompatibility
The device is considered to be externally communicating with lung tissue (aerosol mediated) and in direct (skin & mucosal membrane) contact with the patient. In order to assess device biocompatibility, the following tests were carried out:
- Cytotoxicity testing, according to ISO 10993-5
- Sensitization testing, according to ISO 10993-10
- . Intracutaneous Irritation testing, according to ISO 10993-10
- Extractables & Leachables testing, according to ISO 10993-18 & 17
- . Off-gas testing (simulation of volatile leachable/contaminant release in a hot vehicle)
Performance Testing including Comparative
- . Shelf-life testing
- o Pre- (new) vs. Post-aged (6 years)
