Device Description
The GoSpiro® is intended to be used by adults and children over 5 years old in physician's offices, clinics and home settings to conduct basic lung function and spirometry testing. The GoSpiro spirometer transmits real-time lung function data to computers, tablets or smartphones over a Bluetooth connection for tele-healthcare applications. The GoSpiro performs full flow-volume loops including inspiratory and expiratory data. The internal program performs all of the calculations for measurements to meet American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society requirements. It has built-in quality control measurements and transmits indices of measurement quality including time to peak flow, back-extrapolated volume, total expiratory time, and end-expiratory flow detection. It is used with the GoSpiro App display and communications software on a smartphone or tablet. The GoSpiro is powered by an internal rechargeable Lithium battery and is charged via its USB charging station connected to a USB power source. The device complies with ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-1-11. The fundamental technology to measure flow is a vertical turbine volume sensor. The turbine transducer measures expired air directly at B.T.P.S. (body temperature and pressure with saturated water vapor) thus avoiding the requirement for temperature correction on exhalation. An electronic temperature sensor on the device PCB measures atmospheric temperature, thus enabling correction of inspired volumes and flows. This transducer is insensitive to the effects of condensation and temperature and avoids the need for individual calibration prior to performing a test.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard spirometry technology (turbine sensor) and calculations based on established standards (ATS/ERS). There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is intended for diagnostic purposes (lung function and spirometry testing), not for treating a condition.

Yes

The device is intended to "conduct basic lung function and spirometry testing" and "performs full flow-volume loops including inspiratory and expiratory data," which are measurements used to assess and diagnose lung conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as a vertical turbine volume sensor, an electronic temperature sensor, an internal rechargeable Lithium battery, and a USB charging station. It also states compliance with hardware safety standards (ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-1-11). While it uses software (the GoSpiro App), it is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • GoSpiro® Function: The GoSpiro® directly measures lung function by analyzing the air exhaled and inhaled by the patient. It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "basic lung function and spirometry testing," which is a physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the GoSpiro® falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological measurement, not an IVD.

Modification:

Device Description:

The GoSpiro® is intended to be used by adults and children over 5 years old in physician's offices, clinics and home settings to conduct basic lung function and spirometry testing.

The GoSpiro spirometer transmits real-time lung function data to computers, tablets or smartphones over a Bluetooth connection for tele-healthcare applications. The GoSpiro performs full flow-volume loops including inspiratory and expiratory data. The internal program performs all of the calculations for measurements to meet American Thoracic Society and European Respiratory Society requirements. It has built-in quality control measurements and transmits indices of measurement quality including time to peak flow, back-extrapolated volume, total expiratory time, and end-expiratory flow detection.

It is used with the GoSpiro App display and communications software on a smartphone or tablet.

The GoSpiro is powered by an internal rechargeable Lithium battery and is charged via its USB charging station connected to a USB power source. The device complies with ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-1-11.

510(k) Summary December 4, 2020

  • Indicates parameters displayed for patients only.

Differences vs. Predicate:

The only difference between the predicate and the subject device is the labeling to allow for cleaning, disinfection and reuse of the turbine. The validation testing has been performed demonstrating that the turbine may be cleaned, disinfected and reused.

All other features and specifications are identical to the cleared K163249 device.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion:

As the devices are identical the only discussion relates to the change in the ability to clean, disinfect and reuse the turbine for multi-patient, multi-use. Disinfection is only required when a filter is not used with each patient.

All other comparative features are identical.
