5. Device Description

The eRapid with eTrack controller is a single-patient use, reusable electronic nebulizers, using micro-perforated vibrating membrane technology to aerosolize liquid medications. It is for adult and pediatric inhalation therapy in a home care, nursing home, sub-acute institution,

Page 6

or hospital environment. The devices are hand-held and portable, consisting of a controller and a nebulizer handset, connected with a connection cord. Power input is provided by either AA batteries, or a DC or AC adapter. Alternate power cords, plugs and adapters allow their use in any country.

6. Mechanism of Action

The medication is filled into the medication reservoir of the nebulizer handset for presenting its liquid content to the vibrating membrane of the nebulizer to generate aerosol for inhalation. There is selection button on the controller to turn on the device, and start the treatment. When the treatment is done the device automatically shuts off.

This eFlow technology uses a wafer-thin plate or membrane of stainless steel, which is perforated with numerous laser-drilled holes (Figure 1). The size of the membrane holes determines the aerosol particle size. There is no other mechanism in place that changes the aerosol particle size, whether through software and/or user interface. This micro-perforated membrane vibrates at a high frequency against a body of fluid. The vibration source is the piezoelectric actuator that is activated by an electronic drive circuit of the Controller. The actuator and the perforated membrane are the main components of the aerosol head that is in contact with the liquid medication to be aerosolized. Liquid jets are created as an inertial response to the vibration of the membrane. Surface tension and hydrodynamic effects then cause these jets to disperse to produce a stream of precisely controlled droplets.

7. Indication for Use

The eRapid with eTrack Nebulizer System is to be used with patients for whom doctors have prescribed medicine for nebulization. It is intended for adult and pediatric patients age 4 and older who can coordinate breathing through a mouthpiece, and may be used in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, nursing homes, sub-acute institutions and home environments.

a. eRapid with eTrack Nebulizer System and Predicate eRapid NCP Nebulizer system

Both the eRapid with eTrack and the predicate eRapid NCP device are identical in purpose, function, core technology and energy sources. That is, they are portable, reusable, single-patient use, handheld electronic nebulizers that use a piezo-driven, microperforated vibrating membrane technology to aerosolize liquid medications for the treatment or prophylaxis of respiratory diseases. They are to be used with adult and pediatric patients for whom doctors have prescribed medication, i.e. they are for prescription use only. They may be used in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, nursing homes, sub-acute institutions and home environments. Energy sources for the devices are provided by: (1) connection to a mains power source, via an AC Power Supply; or, batteries.

Both the eRapid with eTrack and the predicate eRapid NCP employ breath enhanced, two-way valve systems. Further, both devices have permanent modes of action, i.e., once the on/off switch on the controller is pressed, continuous nebulization occurs until the medication is nebulized. Neither has any breath trigger or interrupter. Fluid delivery / generation for both devices is by direct contact between the aerosol head and the fluid in sealed medication reservoir.

The difference between the three devices are: 1) The eTrack controller has built in wireless and Bluetooth connectivity modules; 2) The manufacturer of handset material (Polypropylene) is different; 3) The adhesive used to bond the substrate to the piezo was changed to Delo Monopox.

Differences from FDA-cleared device are thus confined to the connectivity feature and the material of the handset.

9. Performance Data

The following performance data were provided in support of an SE determination.

Page 13

Page 9 of 10

a. Biocompatibility and Airpath Testing

The eRapid with eTrack Nebulizer System uses the identical eRapid Nebulizer Handset (except for the manufacturer of material of the handset) that was previously cleared in the predicate eRapid NCP Nebulizer System. All other materials used are identical in both formulation and processing, and no other chemicals have been added (e.g., plasticizers, fillers, color additives, cleaning agents, mold release agents, etc.).

The components proposed in the eRapid with eTrack Nebulizer System, eTrack Controller (1), Connection Cord (2), AC Power Supply (3), and the Handset (4) have been evaluated for biocompatibility.

The following common materials were used. Handset: PP (Bormed HG820MO), Silicone, TPE, Controller (Housing): ABS, TPE, Connection Cord: PP, TPE, and AC Power Supply (Housing): PC. Biocompatibility and Airpath testing was performed on the handset to account for the manufacturer change.

According to the note in ISO 10993-1 chapter 5.2.2 no further biological evaluation is needed, when housings of the device that come in contact with any intact skin, are made from materials in common use.

b. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electrical Safety

EMC testing and Electrical Safety testing were conducted on the eTrack controller, connection cord and AC power supply. These components were evaluated according to following standards:

  • ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012, C1:2009/ (R)2012 and A2:2010/(R)2012
  • IEC 60601-1-2:2014 (+AMD1:2020)
  • IEC 60601-1-6:2010, AMD1:2013, AMD2:2020
  • IEC 60601-1-11:2015/AMD1:2020

c. Software Verification and Validation Testing

The software for this device is of a "moderate level of concern" and validation testing was conducted in accordance with FDA's guidance, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" issued May 2005" Software safety classification is Class B, according to recognized standard IEC 62304.

d. Aerosol Performance

When considering aerosol performance, the eRapid with eTrack Nebulizer is substantially equivalent to the predicate eRapid NCP Nebulizer. The handset, including the aerosol head, is solely responsible for aerosol performance and is the same handset as used in the predicate eRapid NCP Nebulizer system (except the manufacturer of the polypropylene material and the adhesive used to bond the piezo to the substrate are different).

The only variable in the eFlow technology that allows for a change to the aerosol performance is the dimension of the laser drilled holes in the vibrating mesh contained in the Aerosol Head. The hole size in the aerosol head determines the particle size of the aerosol. The aerosol particle size is not controlled or changed electronically or with software. Both the predicate and the subject

Page 14

Page 10 of 10

handset used the same aerosol head, except for the adhesive used to bond the piezo to the substrate. Performance comparison tests were conducted on heads made by the current adhesive (MLT) and the neads made of new adhesive (Delo Monopox). Both the heads performed as per specification and there was no significant difference to suggest that the adhesive change had any effect.

As stated above the controller does not affect the aerosol performance and only provides a fixed power and frequency to the Nebulizer Handset. Both controllers have been electrically tested to demonstrate they produce the same frequency and power, within the accepted tolerance.

To further substantiate that the two controllers produce the same result, aerosol performance testing was done, and the results compared. The results were similar within the acceptable tolerance limits.

e. Simulated Use Testing

Testing was conducted to determine if the eRapid with eTrack Nebulizer System performed within specifications stated in the IFU, throughout its useful lifecycle. The testing concluded that the device remained within those specifications

f. Validation of Cleaning and Disinfection Methods

Microbiological efficiency control tests were conducted in order to validate the nebulizer cleaning and disinfection methods in the IFU. Testing involved validation of: (1) a manual cleaning method; (2) a chemical disinfection method; and (3) two thermal disinfection methods. All testing concluded that the nebulizer could be cleaned and disinfected effectively by use of the methods stated in the IFU.

g. Cybersecurity

A risk assessment was conducted to determine the elements related to cybersecurity and the risks were mitigated to below the level of concern.

h. Wireless Coexistence

An assessment was done to determine how the data transfer was affected in the presence of other wireless equipment.

10. Conclusion

Based on the FDA guidelines and relevant tests, we believe that the eRapid with eTrack Nebulizer System is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device.
