The Propeller System includes the Propeller MDI Model 2 OTC 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 respiratory medication(s) 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 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, or other inhaled medication, the system can be used to reduce the frequency of respiratory health symptoms and exacerbations by increasing adherence to MDI or other inhaled 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 used in populations from Child (>2 years) to adult. The Propeller system can be used both indoors; home, work and clinical settings, as well as on aircraff. The Propeller System may also be used in clinical trials where researchers need to know information about the use of MDI or other inhaled medication(s) by a participant. The output of the Propeller System is not intended to diagnose provided by a licensed physician. The Propeller System is not intended for use as an MDI or inhaled medication dose counter, nor is it intended to indicate the quantity of medication remaining in an MDI or inhaled medication.
Device Story
Propeller System is an electronic MDI accessory; records MDI actuation events via sensor; transmits data to mobile/web applications for storage and review. Used by patients (home/work/travel) and clinicians (clinical settings/trials). Provides feedback (reminders/notifications) to improve medication adherence; assists in assessing MDI technique via actuation timing. Output allows patients/caregivers/physicians to track disease management and outcomes. Does not diagnose; not a dose counter.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was required. Bench testing included EMC, electrical safety, mechanical durability, and software verification/validation. OTC-specific validation testing confirmed the device meets requirements for OTC labeling and usage.
Technological Characteristics
Electronic MDI accessory sensor. Connectivity via mobile/web applications. Software-based data logging and transmission. Identical to predicate device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients aged >2 years to adult using prescribed MDI or inhaled medications to monitor usage, improve adherence, and reduce respiratory symptoms/exacerbations. Not for use as a dose counter or to indicate remaining medication quantity.
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.

| | The Propeller System may also be used in clinical trials<br>where researchers need to know information about the use<br>of MDI medication(s) by a participant. |
|-------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | The output of the Propeller System is not intended to<br>diagnose or replace a diagnosis provided by a licensed<br>physician. The Propeller System is not intended for use as<br>an MDI dose counter, nor is it intended to indicate the<br>quantity of medication remaining in an MDI. |
| Note | Propeller System Model 2 OTC is the remarketing of the<br>previously approved Propeller System Model 2 for OTC<br>use. |
| Technology<br>Comparison: | The device is identical to the predicate device. |
| Test Summary: | Test results indicate that the Propeller System Model 2<br>OTC and its predicate Propeller System Model 2 complies<br>with predetermined specifications. Completed EMC,<br>electrical, safety, mechanical durability, software<br>verification and validation testing confirms this result. |
| Clinical Testing | No clinical testing was required |
| Validation<br>Testing for OTC | Validation testing has been completed and confirms that<br>the device continues to meet the specified requirements<br>for the change from "Prescription Use" to "OTC" status. |
| Hazard Analysis<br>for OTC | Hazard Analysis for OTC included a review of existing<br>hazards as well as how the patient obtains and learns<br>about the system, registers for the system, installs the<br>sensor, uses the Propeller System to track MDI medication<br>use, shares data with their physician/care team and<br>obtains help & support with OTC labeling. No new<br>concerns of safety with the proposed OTC indication were<br>found. |
| Conclusion: | There are no new safety or effectiveness issues with<br>classification as an over-the-counter medical device. |
