| Reference Devices: | GoSpiro, K163249, K202837 |
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE
The EasyOne Sky spirometer is intended to conduct diagnostic spirometry testing on adults and pediatric patients starting at age 4. The EasyOne Sky spirometer is used by general practitioners, specialists and healthcare professionals. The EasyOne Sky is used in hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, in clinical settings, and in occupational medicine.
#### DEVICE DESCRITION
The product EasyOne Sky (EOS) is a medical electrical equipment for spirometry testing. It consists of the hand-held TrueFlow Sensor FT (SeNe) comprising an ultrasonic flow sensor that conducts air flow measurements, the application EasyOne Mobile (EOMA), and the breathing mouthpiece EasyOne FlowTube (EOFT). The EOS can be used with the optional accessories EasyOne Filter FT and a nose clip.
Key functions:
- . The key function of the TrueFlow Sensor FT (SeNe) is to acquire patient flow data by measuring transit-times of ultrasonic pulses and to send data wireless (via Bluetooth Low Energy) to the host system. The measurements and data transmission are performed by the firmware of the SeNe defined as MDSW with clinical functions.
- . The key function of the application EasyOne Mobile (EOMA) is to trigger the start of the measurement with the TrueFlow Sensor FT, to communicate with it and to visualize the data received from it.
- . The EasyOne FlowTube (EOFT) is an individually packaged, single-patient-use breathing tube and is intended to canalize patient breath through the flow sensor tube. The EOFT is an essential accessory to EOS.
