Intended Use
The Ganshorn SpiroScout is intended for prescription use only to conduct simple diagnostic spirometry testing of adults and pediatric patients over 5 years old, in general practice and specialty physician, industrial and hospital settings.
Device Story
SpiroScout is a PC-based diagnostic spirometer measuring lung function parameters including vital capacity, flow/volume curves, and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV). Input consists of patient respiratory airflow through a single-use disposable 'Spirette' mouthpiece. Device utilizes two diagonally opposing ultrasound transducers to measure flow, temperature, and humidity via ultrasound transit-time technology. System includes a handheld ScoutSensor and a base station. Operated by clinicians in general practice, specialty, industrial, or hospital settings. Output is processed by Ganshorn LFX software on a connected PC, providing clinicians with quantitative lung function data to support respiratory diagnosis and clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data or animal testing performed. Bench testing only, including compliance with AAMI ANSI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-11, IEC 60601-1-2, and ATS (2005) standards.
Technological Characteristics
Ultrasound transit-time measurement; PC-based system with handheld ScoutSensor and base station; disposable Spirette mouthpiece. Flow range ± 18 l/s; volume range ± 10 liters. Power 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Patient contact parts (Spirette) are externally communicating, limited duration (<24 hours).
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic spirometry testing in adults and pediatric patients aged 5 years and older in general practice, specialty physician, industrial, and hospital settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A diagnostic spirometer is a device used in pulmonary function testing to measure the volume of gas moving in or out of a patient's lungs.

## Device Description:
The SpiroScout is an electronic measurement device intended to be used for measurement of lung function (determination of the respiratory flows and volume) parameters. It enables the determination of the following parameters.
#### Spirometry
Inspiratory and expiratory vital capacity (VC) Inspiratory and expiratory subdivisions
#### Flow/Volume
The measurement of the flow/volume curve enables the determination of the dynamic lung volumes. FEV1 value (forced expiratory volume within the first second of exhalation).
# Maximum Voluntary Ventilation MVV
The respiratory limit value indicates the respired volume per minute during maximally forced respiration. The respiratory limit value is also referred to as "Maximum Voluntary Ventilation".
The SpiroScout sensor operates using two diagonally opposing ultrasound transducers that alternately send and receive ultrasonic waves. The ultrasound technology simultaneously measures the flow, temperature and humidity.
The SpiroScout is a PC-based system running the Ganshorn LFX software program. The system comprises:
- the hand-held ScoutSensor
- Base station where the sensor is stored. ●
- Spirette, a single use, disposable mouthpiece and flow tube ●
#### Indications for Use:
The Ganshorn SpiroScout is intended for prescription use only to conduct simple diagnostic spirometry testing of adults and pediatric patients over 5 years old, in general practice and specialty physician, industrial and hospital settings.

Prescriptive - The SpiroScout and predicate are prescription devices.
Design and Technology – As above design and technology are substantially equivalent to the predicate.
Performance and Specifications -As above the performance and specifications are substantially equivalent to the predicate.
Compliance with Standards - The SpiroScout complies with the currently recognized safety and EMC standards (AAMI ANSI ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2). The predicate complied with IEC 601-1.
Patient Population - The SpiroScout and predicate are indicated for pediatric and adult patients.
Environment of Use - The SpiroScout is for use in general practice and specialty physician, industrial and hospital settings.as is the predicate.
Differences: There are some differences:
- Patient population is 5 and up vs. 4 yo and up
- This has been changed based upon FDA request O
- Difference in flow ranges where the proposed device has a high flow range which is consistent with the ● recommendations of ATS spirometer designs
The differences between the proposed device and the predicate device do not raise any new safety and efficacy concerns.
