CapMedic may be used with any of the following MDIs: Ventolin HFA, Advair HFA, Flovent HFA, Xopenex HFA, Symbicort HFA, Atrovent HFA, Proventil HFA, Alvesco HFA, Dulera HFA, and Asmanex HFA and is attached with a specific adapter for the MDIs.
# (a)(6) Technological Characteristics
The CapMedic device is technologically equivalent to the three predicates identified above for the three main functions, MDI use measurement, lung function measurement, and data transfer. For the MDI use measurement functions, the CapMedic is similar to both MDLog system and Propeller sensors for monitoring MDI medication use. Both predicates and CapMedic measure the timestamp of MDI use. MDILog also measures MDI use parameters such as MDI shaking, canister actuation and inhalation, all of which are also measured by CapMedic. All devices are battery-powered. Further, both the Propeller device and CapMedic transfer data using Bluetooth Low Energy. The Asthma Monitor measures spirometry parameters of PEF and FEV1, is battery powered and transfers data through Bluetooth Low Energy, same as CapMedic.
The CapMedic device measures the MDI orientation as an additional parameter of MDI use as compared with MDILog. Further, CapMedic also provides UI prompts to remind the user of the correct steps for MDI use and contains a rechargeable battery. All of these parameters were extensively tested, the performance bench-marked and thorough risk analysis conducted to demonstrate that the difference does not affect the substantial equivalence.
