Intended Use

The SmartTrack System is intended for single-patient use as an electronic data capture accessory for recording and monitoring actuations of prescribed MDI usage. This may be used in the following applications: - In clinical trials, where researchers need to know when a patient has actuated their trial MDI medication; - In clinical practice, where specialists, general practitioners, and nurse educators need to know if a patient has actuated their prescribed MDI medication. The SmartTrack is not intended to indicate remaining quantity of medication in an MDI and does not include a dose counting function.

Device Story

SmartTrack System is a compliance monitoring accessory for Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI). It consists of a clip-on module, an optical docking station, and PC-based analysis software. The clip-on module attaches to the MDI exterior and uses an optical sensor to detect and log the date and time of MDI actuations. Data is transferred via the docking station to a PC. The Respiratory Analyzer software allows clinicians, researchers, or nurse educators to review, export, and analyze usage history in table or graph formats. The device provides objective data on medication adherence to inform clinical decision-making and support clinical trial monitoring. It does not count doses or indicate remaining medication quantity.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data was required or provided. Functional verification and performance testing of the MDI actuation sensor system confirmed accurate logging of MDI usage. Compliance with IEC 60601 (safety/EMC) and IEC 60068 (environmental) standards was performed.

Technological Characteristics

Clip-on module for MDI; optical sensor for actuation detection; microprocessor-controlled; internal battery power; USB-connected optical docking station; PC-based offline software for data reporting. Complies with IEC 60601 and IEC 60068 series standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for single-patient use to record and monitor MDI actuations in clinical trials or clinical practice settings for patients prescribed MDI medication.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A nebulizer is a device intended to spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. Heated, ultrasonic, gas, venturi, and refillable nebulizers are included in this generic type of device.

OCT - 9 2009 Nexus 6 Limited Level 2, 109 Cook Street, Auckland 1010, New Zealand PO Box 106-612, Auckland 1143, New Zealand Phone +64 9 307 2771 Fax +64 9 307 2773 6 July 2009 # 510(k) SUMMARY This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is submitted in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR §807.92: (a)(1) Refer to information above and concluding this summary. ## (a)(2) Name of the Device | Model Number / Name: | SmartTrack System | |----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Classification Name: | Nebulizer (Direct Patient Interface)<br>Anesthesiology Devices, 21 CFR §868.5630, Class II, CAF | ## (a)(3} Identification of Legally Marketed Devices | K990185 | MDILog Model MDC-512 | Medtrac Technologies Inc | |---------|----------------------|--------------------------| | K970344 | MDILog Model MDC-511 | Medtrac Technologies Inc | | K935955 | Doser MDI Counter | Newmed Corporation | #### (a)(4) Description of the Device The SmartTrack System consists of three modules used to provide a compliance monitoring function for use of a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI). - · SmartTrack is a clip-on module that attaches externally around the enclosure of an MDI, using an optical sensor to detect MDI actuation, to log the usage history of the MDI. The device includes an LCD display and control buttons to review basic data and adjust device settings. Various device status conditions are indicated to the user, and logged to provide potentially relevant context for later review of MDI usage history data. - SmartTrack Docking Station is an optical interface cradle used to download data stored on the SmartTrack module, via USB cable connection to a PC, and allow for interaction by the offline software with device settings and status monitoring. - Respiratory Analyzer is a software application for use on a PC that provides for offline review of the MDI compliance data logged by the SmartTrack module. Data is stored in database files with patient, medication, and prescribed dose information, and is available for review and export in various table and graph formats to highlight MDI usage characteristics. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### (a)(5) Statement of the Intended Use The SmartTrack System is intended for single-patient use as an electronic data capture accessory for recording and monitoring actuations of prescribed MDI usage. This may be used in the following applications: - In clinical trials, where researchers need to know when a patient has actuated their trial MDI medication; - . In clinical practice, where specialists, general practitioners, and nurse educators need to know if a patient has actuated their prescribed MDI medication. The SmartTrack is not intended to indicate remaining quantity of medication in an MDI and does not include a dose counting function. ## (a)(6) Technological Characteristics Summary Technological characteristics of the SmartTrack system are largely equivalent to the predicate devices listed above. Equivalent features between the devices include: configuration in attaching to the outside of an MDI enclosure; microprocessor control and use of an internal clock, to log date and time of MDI actuations; power supply from an internal battery; interface to a personal computer via an optical docking station to download MDI usage data; and offline review software providing for data handling, device interaction, and patient data reporting functions. The sensor technology used to detect MDI actuation is different from the predicate devices, and this aspect of the device has been verified by non-clinical testing to establish equivalent performance to the predicate devices. #### (b)(1) Discussion of the Non-Clinical Tests Non-clinical testing of the SmartTrack system has been carried out to cover functional verification and device performance. This included completion of software verification procedures, with performance testing of the MDI actuation sensor system to ensure data is logged accurately for MDI usage. This established correct functionality of the SmartTrack System according to requirements. Third party testing of the SmartTrack System for compliance to IEC 60601 series standards for general safety and electromagnetic compatibility, and IEC 60068 series standards for environmental testing, will be completed by an accredited laboratory before marketing of the device. ## (b)(2) Discussion of the Clinical Tests Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the SmartTrack System. The product functionality has been adequately assessed by bench testing as above. #### (b)(3) Conclusions Demonstrating Safety, Effectiveness and Performance Hardware testing carried out for the SmartTrack System indicates it meets design and performance functional requirements. Software verification demonstrates that device features are effective, and the system configuration functions equivalently to the predicate devices. The device will meet standard requirements for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility before marketing. This information indicates that the SmartTrack System is equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of device safety and effectiveness.
