Intended Use
The device measures expiratory lung function parameters, specifically FEV1 and conforms to ATS standards for diagnostic devices. The results obtained can be used for screening of COPD in adult smokers.
Device Story
PulmoLife is a battery-operated, handheld portable spirometer. It utilizes a uni-directional, rotating vane, flow-sensing turbine to measure lung function parameters, specifically Forced Expiratory Volume in the 1st second (FEV1) and FEV1 as a percentage of predicted value. It also provides a lung age estimation. The device is intended for use by qualified clinicians in hospitals, clinics, physicians' offices, and laboratories. The clinician operates the device to measure a patient's exhaled breath. The output, displayed to the clinician, assists in the screening and diagnosis of COPD in adult smokers.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and design comparison to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Handheld, battery-operated diagnostic spirometer. Sensing mechanism: uni-directional, rotating vane, flow-sensing turbine. Form factor: portable, handheld. Software: embedded firmware for parameter calculation (FEV1, FEV1 %predicted, lung age).
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients of either gender requiring lung function evaluation, specifically smokers for early detection of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A diagnostic spirometer is a device used in pulmonary function testing to measure the volume of gas moving in or out of a patient's lungs.

Dear Mr. Hillsley:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
