The LCI Option for Innocor is intended to measure the Lung Clearance Index (LCI), which is the cumulative expired volume required to clear an inert gas from the lungs during normal breathing in a multiple-breath washout (MBW) test divided by the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC). The specific parameters measured by the Innocor LCI Option include: LCI (Lung Clearance Index) and FRC (Functional Residual Capacity).
Device Story
LCI Option for Innocor is a software-based enhancement for the existing Innocor point-of-care pulmonary function system. It utilizes inert gas rebreathing (IGR) for initial wash-in of SF6 gas to determine Functional Residual Capacity (FRC), followed by multiple-breath washout (MBW) to measure cumulative expired volume required to clear the tracer gas. The device uses a pneumotachometer for flow measurement and a photoacoustic infrared gas analyzer for SF6 concentration. Operated by clinicians in point-of-care settings, the system processes respiratory data to calculate LCI, representing lung volume turnovers required for gas clearance. Output is used by healthcare providers to assess peripheral airway function and lung volume. The device benefits patients by providing non-invasive pulmonary diagnostics.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Performance evaluated using a calibration syringe to simulate lungs for FRC measurement and simulation models for LCI wash-out testing. Results demonstrate the device is as safe and effective as predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Compact, portable point-of-care device. Hardware identical to Innocor (K051907). Sensing: pneumotachometer for flow, photoacoustic infrared gas analyzer for SF6 concentration. Connectivity: standalone. Software: LCI calculation algorithm. Sterilization: N/A (non-invasive).
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in children and adults for pulmonary function testing to measure Lung Clearance Index (LCI) and Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) via multiple-breath inert gas washout (MBW).
Regulatory Classification
Identification

| Device Description | Innocor is a compact point-of-care device intended to be used for<br>non-invasive measurement of a) cardiac output (CO) and other<br>hemodynamic parameters utilizing inert gas rebreathing (IGR)<br>technology, b) metabolic parameters including oxygen uptake by<br>means of a breath-by-breath gas exchange method, c) spirometry<br>parameters by means of forced respiratory maneuvers, and<br>d) peripheral airway function by means of multiple-breath inert<br>gas washout. |
{1}------------------------------------------------
{2}------------------------------------------------
The basic Innocor provides cardiac output (CO) as the principal measured parameter. Utilizing inert gas rebreathing, Innocor measures the relative levels of two inhaled gases of differing blood solubility over approximately 3-4 respirations. The disappearance curve for the blood soluble gas is used to calculate pulmonary blood flow (PBF), which in the absence of a significant intrapulmonary shunt is equal to cardiac output. The functional residual capacity (FRC) is determined from the dilution of the relatively insoluble gas during the same maneuver.
The LCI Option for Innocor, used alone or in conjunction with the entire Innocor system, provides information on lung volume and peripheral airway function.
The LCI is calculated as the cumulative expired volume (VcE) required to clear the inert tracer gas from the lungs during normal breathing, minus the product of the number of wash-out breaths and the external dead space outside the lips. divided by the subject's Functional Residual Capacity (FRC). FRC is the amount of air that stays in the lungs (up to the lips) after a normal expiration. In other words, LCI represents the number of lung volume turnovers (i.e. FRCs) that the subject must breathe to clear the inert tracer gas from the lungs (by convention, to an end-tidal concentration of 1/40th of the starting concentration over three subsequent breaths).
Innocor uses a combination of two techniques to determine the LCI, using SF6 as the inert tracer gas:
Inert gas rebreathing (IGR) is used for rapid wash-in of a very small amount of SF% until an even concentration is obtained in the lungs before the wash-out can start. This allows accurate determination of the functional residual capacity (FRC) by gas

analysis alone.
This is followed by multiple-breath wash-out (MBW) for determination of the cumulative expired volume (VCF) required to clear the SF6 from the lungs. The Innocor device is a compact and portable point-of-care device. The hardware in the LCI Option for Innocor is identical to that used in the Innocor Diagnostic Programmable Computer (K051907) and the Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Option to Innocor (K071911). combined rebreathing/multiple breath wash-out test The performed with the LCI Option for Innocor requires accurate measurements of the respiratory flow and the concentration of SF6 at the mouth during inspiration (inhalation) and expiration (exhalation). The Innocor device measures the flow and SF6 concentration by means of of a pneumotachometer and a photoacoustic infrared gas analyzer, respectively, while the patient takes multiple breaths over a period of time through a pneumatically activated respiratory valve unit (RVU). The rebreathing gas mixture for wash-in of SF6 is filled into a rubber bag prior to testing. Intended Use and The LCI Option for Innocor is intended to measure the Lung Clearance Index (LCI), which is the cumulative expired volume Indications required to clear an inert gas from the lungs during normal breathing in a multiple-breath washout (MBW) test divided by the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC).

Option for Innocor and the COSMED QUARK, performance data from bench testing demonstrates substantial equivalence. The performance of the LCI Option for Innocor has been evaluated against a calibration syringe for FRC determination and data from simulation for LCI determination. Performance data a demonstrates that the hardware and software of the LCI Option for Innocor is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate diagnostic device for LCI determination.
Further, except for the way the indicator gas is washed in and the way FRC is determined, the LCI Option for Innocor meets the relevant recommendations in the Official American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society Statement: Pulmonary Function Testing in Preschool Children, Am J Respir Crit Care Med Vol 175. pp 1304-1345, 2007, Section 7: The Multiple-Breath Inert Gas Washout Technique.
### Comparison with predicate device SensorMedics Vmax Series Pulmonary/Metabolic System [K942211]:
Both the LCI Option for Innocor and the SensorMedics Vmax Series Pulmonary/Metabolic System (K942211) are intended to measure LCI, and are for use in children and adults.
The SensorMedics Vmax Series Pulmonary/Metabolic System was granted premarket clearance based, in part, on the Vmax calculating and providing LCI as one of the Distribution Parameters in the device's Normal Predicted Equation Sets.
The numerator and denominator of the fraction which defines LCI in the Vmax are defined in the Vmax 510(k) submission by reference to the cited article titled "A NEW INDEX OF THE INTRAPULMONARY MIXTURE OF INSPIRED AIR" by Margaret R. Becklake, Thorax (1952), 7, 111. More specifically,

| | the numerator and denominator of the fraction which defines LCI<br>are defined in the Becklake article as: Litres ventilation required to<br>wash 90% F.R.A. free of N2 / 90% F.R.A.<br>The LCI Option for Innocor employs a substantially equivalent<br>method of measuring LCI, using essentially the same indexes and<br>providing the same information. |
|-----------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
