The Chartis System is indicated for use by bronchoscopists during a bronchoscopy in adult patients with emphysema, a form of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), in a bronchoscopy suite. The system, composed of the Chartis Catheter and Chartis Console, is designed to measure pressure and flow in order to calculate resistance to airflow and quantify collateral ventilation in isolated lung compartments. The Chartis Catheter is used through the working channel of a bronchoscope and connects to the Chartis Console is capital equipment that is reusable and displays the patient information.

The Chartis Precision Catheter is a single use, sterile, disposable device designed to be inserted into the working channel of a standard video or fiber bronchoscope during a diagnostic bronchoscopy procedure. After the target lung segment is accessed by the bronchoscope, the distal tip of the Chartis Precision Catheter can be introduced through the bronchoscope directly into the target airway. Inflation of the compliant balloon on the distal tip of the Chartis Precision Catheter causes the airway to become sealed and isolated. Air can then flow out of the isolated lung compartment into the environment only through the central lumen of the Chartis Precision Catheter. Assessment is accomplished by measuring air flows and pressures exiting the Chartis Precision Catheter lumen during spontaneous respiration or air flow during mechanical ventilation. The Chartis Precision Catheter is designed for use in conjunction with the Chartis Console. The Chartis Console is a previously cleared device (under K180011) and the subject 510(k) is solely for the Chartis Precision Catheter.

The Pulmonx LIA software provides CT values for pulmonary tissue which is essential for providing quantitative support for diagnosis and follow up examination. The LIA software can be used to support physician in the diagnosis and documentation of pulmonary tissue images (e.g. abnormalities) from CT thoracic datasets. Three-D segmentation and isolation of sub-compartments (including lung structures), volumetric analysis, density evaluation, and reporting tools are provided.

The Lung Image Analysis (LIA) software is designed to aid in the interpretation of Computed Tomography (CT) scans of the thorax that may contain pulmonary abnormalities. Lung Image Analysis has both a graphical user interface and command-line software which can be run as a Windows application or from a command-line interpreter. The LIA software is to be used by trained professionals who are responsible for the correct and accurate use of medical images. In a typical clinical environment, the results provided by the software are used together with other clinical information by a medical professional. The software may be installed on an off-the-shelf PC computer system and is intended to be used with uncompressed digital images that are saved in DICOM format.

The Chartis System is indicated for use by bronchoscopists during a bronchoscopy in adult patients with emphysema, a form of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), in a bronchoscopy suite. The system, composed of the Clartis Catheter and Chartis Console, is designed to measure pressure and flow in order to calculate resistance to airflow and quantify collateral ventilation in isolated lung compartments. The Chartis Catheter is used through the working channel of a bronchoscope and connects to the Chartis Console. The Chartis Console is capital equipment that is reusable and displays the patient information.

The Chartis Tablet Console is a two-part spirometry system comprised of a touchscreen computer and sensor enclosure designed for use in the bronchoscopy suite in conjunction with the Chartis Catheter. The Chartis Catheter is a previously cleared device (under K111522) and the subject 510(k) K180011 is solely for the Chartis Tablet Console. The proximal end of the Chartis Catheter is attached to a polymer tube with a filter whose opposite end is attached to an input fitting on the Chartis Console. The balloon on the Chartis Catheter isolates the lung compartment of interest. The hardware components of the Tablet Console translate airflow and pressure detected through the Chartis Catheter into electrical signals. The Tablet Console analyzes and displays airflow and pressure from the isolated lung compartment in real time.
