Indications for Use

Vivatmo pro nitric oxide test is a portable, non-invasive device to measure fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in human breath. FeNO is increased in some airway inflammatory processes, such as asthma, and often decreases in response to anti-inflammatory treatment. Measurement of FeNO by Vivatmo pro is a method to measure the decrease in FeNO concentration in asthma patients that often occurs after treatment with anti-inflammatory pharmacological therapy as an indication of therapeutic effect in patients with elevated FeNO levels. FeNO measurements are to be used as an adjunct to established clinical assessments. Vivatmo pro is suitable for children, approximately 7-17 years, and adults 18 years and older. Testing using the Vivatmo pro should only be done in a point-of-care healthcare setting under professional supervision. Vivatmo pro should not be used in critical care, emergency care or in anesthesiology.

## IV Device/System Characteristics:

### A Device Description:
The Vivatmo pro device is comprised of the following main components:

{2}

1. A Vivatmo pro handheld, which holds the measuring module with electronics, display and the rechargeable battery. The handheld includes software to drive the handheld.
2. A Vivatmo pro basestation, which consists of a cradle to charge the Vivatmo pro handheld and a single board computer to run the Vivatmo pro software driving the touch screen and the interfaces. The basestation is provided with an external power supply.
3. The Vivatmo pro software that runs on the Vivatmo pro basestation.
4. A Vivatmo pro Oxycap, which is a disposable mouthpiece holding filters, desiccant and converter materials to prepare the exhaled breath for the measurement. Vivatmo pro Oxycap is for single use and must be replaced for every new patient and measurement occasion.
5. A Vivatmo pro Level 0 accessory, a disposable mouthpiece with filters, desiccant and reagent to remove NO to facilitate a measurement with 0 ppb FeNO for QC purposes.

## B Principle of Operation:

Vivatmo pro nitric oxide test is a portable, non-invasive device to measure fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in human breath.

The measurement procedure of the Vivatmo pro generates the fraction of the exhaled breath (FeNO). The last 3 second fraction of a 10 second exhalation is evaluated for average NO concentration. The exhalation flow is controlled to $50\mathrm{ml/s} \pm 5\mathrm{ml/s}$ at an applied pressure of 10 to $20\mathrm{cmH_2O}$.

The measurement method of Vivatmo pro is Chemical field effect transistor (Chem-FET). The measurement sample is internally taken after a bypass time period and directly forwarded onto the sensor. The nitrogen dioxide molecules are adsorbed on the sensor layer and the change in the binding energy creates an electrical signal, which is transferred into a quantifiable measurement signal. The nitrogen dioxide is converted from Nitric oxide in the breath by a potassium permanganate converter in the disposable mouthpiece.

NO2 is measured using Chem-FET detection with NO2 molecules accumulated to a sensitive layer changing the electrical field of the capacitor. The drop of voltage is proportional with the number of NO2 molecules accumulated.

Vivatmo Pro

2. Specimen Identification:
The healthcare professional assists the patient, who performs the test in real-time and is identified by patient name

3. Specimen Sampling and Handling:

Clinical Precision

Clinical precision was assessed by studying the device in 65 children and 78 adults (143 subjects). At least 2 FeNO measurements per subject were collected by a total of 16 operators across seven different clinical sites.

Clinical repeatability was assessed together with the 95%-confidence interval as pooled standard deviation (mean of measurement pair within visit < 50 ppb) and CV (mean of measurement pair within visit ≥ 50 ppb), respectively, using the residual variance component resulting from a random effects ANOVA (as used in CLSI EP05 guideline). Results are summarized in the table below.

| Median Concentration [ppb] | N | Within subject mean SD [ppb] | Within subject mean CV [%] | 95% CI for SD | 95% CI for CV |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 0 to <10 | 28 | 1.09 | 15.64% | 0.93; 1.31 | 13.37%;18.85% |
| 10 to <20 | 56 | 2.19 | 15.47% | 1.95; 2.51 | 13.74%; 17.70 % |
| 20 to <30 | 28 | 2.45 | 10.07% | 2.12; 2.89 | 8.73%; 11.91 % |
| 30 to <40 | 18 | 3.30 | 9.62% | 2.64; 4.41 | 7.69 %; 12.86 % |
| 40 to<50 | 8 | 4.46 | 9.80% | 3.43; 6.37 | 7.54%; 14.00 % |
| >=50 ppb | 45 | 6.54 | 7.75% | 5.81; 7.47 | 6.88 %; 8.86 % |

2. Linearity:

Linearity was evaluated within one single run, measuring a range of concentrations above and below the claimed measuring range with the concentrations known relative to each other. In total, nine NO concentrations and a negative control were tested in the following order: 50 ppb, 10 ppb, 300 ppb, 5 ppb, 100 ppb, 0 ppb, 150 ppb, 25 ppb, 330 ppb, 3 ppb, 3 ppb, 3 ppb.

For the determination of the linear range, the slope and r² coefficient of the linear fit of measurement values plotted against NO concentration in the claimed range of 5 - 300 ppb NO were calculated:

| Slope | Intercept | R² |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 0.97 | 2.23 | 0.999 |

3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:

The sponsor performed studies to evaluate the potential for interference from various endogenous and exogenous compounds that could be present in human breath or are consumed.
