Intended Use

The Propeller System includes the Propeller MDI Model 2 Sensor. The sensor is an accessory device intended for single-patient use to assist physicians and patients in recording and monitoring the actuations of prescribed MDI usage. The Propeller Mobile Application records, stores, and transmits usage events from Propeller Sensors, or via manual user entry, to a remote storage system. With the Propeller Mobile Application the user can review information collected from the MDI sensor, and report and review symptoms and other information about their disease management and its impact. The user may also share their information with their caregivers, physician and healthcare providers. The Propeller Web Application is software that, like the Propeller Mobile Application, is intended to allow users to review the collected information and characteristics of their MDI and its use, to capture other patientreported information and outcomes, and to allow that information to be shared with their caregivers, physicians and health care providers. When used under the care of a physician with a prescribed MDI, the system can report on information captured during the normal course of use, such as the time between actuations that can be helpful in assessing MDI technique. When used under the care of a physician with a prescribed MDI, the system can be used to reduce the frequency of respiratory health symptoms and exacerbations by increasing adherence to MDI medications through the use of feedback such as reminders and notifications, and self-management education. The Propeller System is intended to be used in populations from Child (>2 years) to adult. The Propeller system can be used both indoors and outdoors: home. work and clinical settings, as well as on aircraft. The Propeller System may also be used in clinical trials where researchers need to know information about the use of MDI medication(s) by a participant. The output of the Propeller System is not intended to diagnose or replace a diagnosis provided by a licensed physician. The Propeller System is not intended for use as an MDI dose counter. nor is it intended to indicate the quantity of medication remaining in an MDI.

Device Story

Propeller System consists of MDI Model 2 Sensor, mobile app, and web app; sensor attaches to MDI to detect/log actuation events; data transmitted via Bluetooth Low Energy to mobile app; app syncs data to remote storage; users/physicians review usage patterns, symptoms, and technique (time between puffs) via web/mobile interfaces; system provides reminders/notifications to improve medication adherence; used in home, work, clinical, or aircraft settings; intended to assist in disease management; output supports clinical decision-making regarding patient status; not for diagnosis or dose counting.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Included software verification/validation, MDI actuation sensor logging accuracy, wireless/Bluetooth performance per FDA guidance, FCC licensing, and electrical safety/EMC per IEC 60601 series. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 series. No clinical trial data presented.

Technological Characteristics

Electronic MDI accessory; Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity; internal power source (non-rechargeable); software-based data logging and analysis; compliant with IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and ISO 10993 (biocompatibility).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients aged >2 years to adult using prescribed MDI for respiratory conditions. Used to record/monitor MDI actuations, assess technique, and improve adherence to reduce symptoms/exacerbations. Not for use as a dose counter or to indicate remaining medication quantity.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

The Propeller System is not intended for use as an MDI dose counter. nor is it intended to indicate the quantity of medication remaining in an MDI. {2}------------------------------------------------ Technology Comparison: Technological characteristics of the Propeller System and the Asthmapolis System are largely equivalent. Similarities include the indications for use, basic principle of operation, data collection information, time of data recording via internal clock, utilization of software for varying types of data review and modification, dose counting characteristics and internal power source type. The Propeller System employs these technological characteristics in a similar way as the predicate device. Differences include power management: the Model 2 Sensor is not rechargeable; the method used to send the usage data from the sensor to the mobile device is Bluetooth, low energy. Expanded indications for use include software feature additions such as display of time between individual actuations of the MDI Propeller Sensor that can be used to assess technique (defined as the time between inhalations, or "puffs"). This was recorded previously, but not displayed, and a greater focus than previously labeled to include use of the system to reduce the frequency of symptoms and exacerbations through review of data recorded by the patient, and the data recorded by the patient's Propeller Sensor. By reviewing the recorded data displayed by the Propeller System, the physician or care provider can identify that a patient's state is worsening, and as a result, may choose to take action, such as contacting their patient. These aspects of the device have been verified and validated in order to establish equivalent performance to the equivalent device. This information indicates that the Propeller System is equivalent to the predicate device in terms of device safety and effectiveness. Based upon this comparison of the predicate, and the accompanying testing results for the Propeller System, the Propeller System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. {3}------------------------------------------------ | Performance<br>Testing Summary: | Non-clinical testing has been carried out to cover functional verification<br>and device performance. This included completion of software<br>verification and validation procedures, with performance testing of the<br>MDI actuation sensor system to ensure data is logged accurately for<br>MDI usage. This established correct functionality of the Propeller .<br>System according to the requirements.<br><br>Third party testing of the Propeller System for compliance to IEC<br>60601 series standards for general safety and electromagnetic<br>compatibility and ISO 10993 series standards for biocompatibility was<br>completed by accredited laboratories prior to this submission.
