#### Device Description 1.1
The LiteAire® BASIC Dual Valved, Collapsible MDI Holding Chamber (also referred to as the LiteAire® BASIC) and the modified LiteAire® Dual Valved, Collapsible MDI Holding Chamber (also referred to as the modified LiteAire®), are intended for use in the inhalation of medications delivered via a pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI). The subject devices feature a universal port designed for compatibility with most MDI medications. The subject devices are intended for use by a single patient and, when properly cared for, are reusable for up to one week. The devices consist of a collapsible paperboard housing and two one-way valves to control the direction of air flow when the patient inhales and exhales through the devices are popped-up by the user prior to use by pressing against the sides of the devices, can be collapsed flat between uses, and are anti-static. The intended environments of use include the home, hospitals and clinics. Note that the only differences between the modified LiteAire® and LiteAire® BASIC configurations is the removal of the window.

#### Principle of Operation 1.2
The subject devices are comprised of a reservoir into which an aerosol medication is dispensed and a mouthpiece from which the patient inhales the dispensed medication. The reservoir and mouthpiece are separated by a one-way valve. The user inserts an MDI into the MDI Port, and then places their mouth over the mouthpiece of the holding chamber. As the user manually depresses the MDI, the aerosol plume is directed into the holding chamber of the device. Upon inhalation, the smaller aerosolized medication particles travel through the device's inhalation valve and into the patient's respiratory tract. The subject devices also incorporate a one-way exhalation valve that allows the patient to breathe out through the device while maintaining contact with the mouthpiece. This prevents poor medication dosing as the inhalation valve seals the chamber and exhausted air is instead routed through the exhalation valve and out of the device.
#### 1.3 Intended Use
The LiteAire® BASIC and the modified LiteAire® are collapsible, disposable dual-valved holding chambers designed to aid in the delivery of aerosolized medications delivered via a pressurized metered dose inhaler (MDI). The LiteAire® BASIC and the modified LiteAire® feature a standard port designed for compatibility with standard MDI mouthpieces. They are non-sterile devices for single-patient use. The LiteAire® BASIC and the modified LiteAire® are intended to be used by adults, adolescents and children ages 5 and up who are able to use a holding chamber without the aid of a mask and who are under the care or treatment of a physician or licensed healthcare professional.
The indications for use and intended use of the subject devices are identical to the predicate.
#### 1.4 Comparison to the Predicate Device
The subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device (K160109) in purpose, function, scientific technology and method of operation. Only minor differences exist between the subject devices and the predicate, which do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject devices.

# 1.5.2. Biocompatibility Testing
The predicate device (K160109) was found to be biocompatible per ISO 10993-1. Other than the removal of the window on the LiteAire® Basic, there are no differences in the materials used to create the modified (subject) devices. Biocompatibility was confirmed utilizing the FDA guidance document, Use of International Standard ISO-10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process". The subject devices are made with the same material formulations, manufacturing processes (including sterility), finished device geometry (including chamber volumes), and body/fluid contact characterization as the predicate device (K160109). The modifications of the subject devices from the predicate device do not result in changes to any direct or indirect tissue-contacting components. Additionally, the proposed changes to the subject devices did not add any new biocompatibility risks to the risk management process. Therefore, the biocompatibility requirements of the subject devices have been met.
## 1.5.3. Bench Performance Testing
The following performance tests were completed on the subject devices. All tests passed.
