Intended Use
MEDINET INCENTIVE SPIROMETER – RESPIPROGRAM is intended as an inspiratory deep breathing positive exerciser. MEDINET INCENTIVE SPIROMETER - RESPIPROGRAM is intended for single use in a hospital or home care setting.
Device Description
The RESPIPROGRAM is an inspiratory device used as breathing exerciser; RESPIPROGRAM is a FLOW exerciser. The RESPIPROGRAM is intended as an inspiratory deep breathing positive exerciser. It is intended for single-patient, single use both in a hospital or for home care therapy. RESPIPROGRAM is a single patient, single use, disposable, non-sterile device. RESPIPROGRAM is a single use device that allows the patient to indicate visually the capacity of inhaling, even though RESPIPROGRAM doesn't have a specific measuring function. The device is a stimulator for inspiration; therefore it is indicated in all situations for when it is necessary to stimulate the patient's inhalation, under the prescription of a physician. The patient inspires through a mouthpiece that is connected to 3 chambers that have 3 balls of different colors (red, yellow and green) each one indicating a different approximate flow rate (respectively 600, 900 and 1200 ml per second).
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical flow measurement and physical properties, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms or data processing.

Yes

The device is intended for "inspiratory deep breathing positive exerciser" and "for home care therapy," indicating a therapeutic purpose to improve breathing capacity.

No

This device is an inspiratory exerciser designed to stimulate and encourage deep breathing. It does not measure conditions, identify diseases, or monitor physiological states.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, disposable device with chambers and balls, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as an "inspiratory deep breathing positive exerciser." This describes a device used to help patients improve their lung function through breathing exercises.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this, calling it a "breathing exerciser" and a "stimulator for inspiration." It focuses on the mechanical action of breathing and providing visual feedback on inhalation capacity.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The description explicitly states that the device "doesn't have a specific measuring function" and is a "stimulator for inspiration." IVD devices are designed to perform tests on specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device does not perform any such tests.
  • No Mention of Specimens: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological specimens.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on flow accuracy, resistance (drop test), and biocompatibility, which are relevant to a mechanical breathing device, not a diagnostic test.

In summary, the MEDINET INCENTIVE SPIROMETER – RESPIPROGRAM is a therapeutic device used for breathing exercises, not a diagnostic device used to test specimens for medical information.

Summary of Technological Characteristics:

Both subject and predicate device are incentive spirometers. The fundamental technology of the subject and predicate device are based on the following same technological elements:

  • Housing containing 3 balls
  • Mouthpiece as a patient interface ●
  • Flow rate of 600, 900 and 1200 ml/second
  • Non Sterile Device

The following technological difference exists between the subject and the predicate device:

  • Respiprogram is single use, while predicate device is multi-use.

8. Conclusion

Based on technological characteristics (intended use, dimensions and features) and performance data (comparative tests and biocompatibility tests) included in this submission, the MEDINET INCENTIVE SPIROMETER RESPIPROGRAM has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the listed predicate device.
