Intended Use
The Hudson RCI Triflo II Incentive Deep Breathing Exerciser is intended as an inspiratory deep breathing positive exerciser for adult and pediatric (above 5 years) patients. Intended for single-patient, multi-use in a hospital or home care setting.
Device Description
The Hudson RCI Triflo II Incentive Deep Breathing Exerciser. The device is a non-diagnostic, therapeutic spirometer (inspiratory deep-breathing exerciser) designed for a maximum flow rate of approximately 1200 cc/sec. It is supplied in clean, sanitary condition, ready for use. It is designed for single patient use and discarded when no longer needed by the patient to whom assigned. By sequentially lifting the balls that are inside every chamber it provides an exercise incentive to patients who require sustained maximal inspiration (SMI), or similar maneuvers.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical function and flow rate, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device description explicitly states it is a "therapeutic spirometer (inspiratory deep-breathing exerciser)" and its intended use is for "inspiratory deep breathing positive exerciser for adult and pediatric (above 5 years) patients" to help them achieve sustained maximal inspiration.

No
The device description explicitly states, "The device is a non-diagnostic, therapeutic spirometer..."

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical spirometer with chambers and balls, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Hudson RCI Triflo II Incentive Deep Breathing Exerciser is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "deep breathing positive exerciser" for patients requiring sustained maximal inspiration. This is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description explicitly states it is a "non-diagnostic, therapeutic spirometer (inspiratory deep-breathing exerciser)".
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's mechanism involves lifting balls based on airflow, providing an exercise incentive. It does not analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or provide information for the diagnosis of a disease or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical characteristics, flow accuracy, and durability, not on diagnostic performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Hudson RCI Triflo II does not fit this definition.

Dear Joy Gutermuth:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
