Intended Use
The Spirotel spirometer and pulse oximeter is intended to be used by a physician or by a patient under the instruction of a physician or paramedic to test lung function in people of all ages. It is also intended to be used as a single-patient device and can be used in any setting home, factory, pharmacy, hospital or physician's office.
Device Story
Spirotel is a pocket-sized diagnostic spirometer with optional pulse oximetry. Spirometry uses a bi-directional turbine with infra-red light interruption to measure airflow and volume (FVC, FEV1, PEF, etc.). Oximetry uses red and infra-red LEDs to measure SpO2 and pulse rate via finger absorption. Device operates autonomously or connects to PC via USB, Bluetooth, or GSM/GPRS/EDGE. Used by physicians, paramedics, or patients in homes, clinics, or hospitals. Data is transmitted to PCs or via email/SMS for clinical review. Provides objective respiratory and oxygenation metrics to assist in patient monitoring and clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Spirometry accuracy verified against American Thoracic Society (ATS) standards. Oximetry accuracy (SpO2 and pulse rate) verified using optical simulators per FDA guidelines and ISO 9919:2005. Data transmission integrity (USB, Bluetooth, GSM) verified in-house. Battery performance and safety verified for the new rechargeable Li-ion power system.

### 4. Description of the device:
Spirotel is a pocket spirometer that can also feature a pulse oximeter function (optional). It measures a range of functional respiratory parameters, and the oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
The device can operate completely autonomously or can be connected to a personal computer by means of various types of connections: USB, Bluetooth, GSM.

The device is identified as follows, according with the presence/absence of the options Bluetooth, GSM, SpO2:
#### Spirometry function
A turbine inside the device that uses the interruption of infra-red light as its operating principle, measures volume and flow rate.
#### Parameters measured
| Symbol | Description | Units |
|----------|-----------------------------------------|-------|
| FVC | Forced Vital Capacity | L |
| FEV1 | Volume exhaled in 1st second of test | L |
| FEV1% | $FEV1/FVC x 100$ | % |
| PEF | Peak expiratory flow | L/m |
| FEF-2575 | Average flow between 25% and 75% of FVC | L/s |
### Oximetry function
The oximetry sensor features two light emitting diodes (LED), one emits visible red light and the other infra-red. Both bands of light pass through the finger to reach a light detector. During the passage through the finger, some of the light is absorbed by the blood and soft tissue depending on the concentration of haemoglobin. The amount of each light frequency absorbed depends on how oxygenated the blood is inside the tissue.

# 7. Brief discussion of the clinical and nonclinical tests relied on for a determination of SE.
Testing was done to ensure that the MIR Spirotel is substantially equivalent to the predicate device within the environments for which it is to be marketed.
Safety and environmental testing was conducted in accordance with EN 60601-1:2006 and EN 60601-1-2:2007. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), electrical, mechanical durability, safety (operator and patient), and temperature/humidity testing have been completed. The results demonstrates that the MIR Spirotel is in compliance with the guideline and standards referenced and that it performs within its specifications.
{4}------------------------------------------------
Spirometry testing was performed according with American Thoracic Society (ATS) Standards. The results obtained were within the range of accuracy required by ATS.
The accuracy of oximetry parameters SpO2 and pulse rate has been verified in-house using an optical simulator. The results obtained were within the range of accuracy required by FDA guideline on Pulse Oximeters and ISO 9919:2005.
A battery testing was performed on the rechargeable battery (3.7V, 1100mA lithium-ion battery) which replaces the primary cell battery (3V CR123A Lithium battery) of the predicate Spirotel, in order to verify charging performance in normal condition and safety in short-circuits condition. Test showed that duration of the battery is approximately the same as the predicate Spirotel.
USB 2.0 transmission replaces RS232 transmission of the predicate Spirotel. A verification of integrity of data transmitted via USB 2.0 to a Personal Computer has been carried out inhouse and the results have shown that data were received without corruption.
Bluetooth transmission is performed using the proprietary module MIR 045 which has been FCC certified by a third party laboratory (FCCID: TUK-MIR045).
A verification of integrity of data transmitted via Bluetooth to a Personal Computer has been carried out in-house and the results have shown that data were received without corruption.
# GSM/GPRS/EDGE transmission is performed using an FCC approved module.
A verification of the integration of the module into Spirotel has been carried out by the manufacturer of the module.
A verification of integrity of data transmitted (e-mail message with attached archive sent to a specific email address, or SMS message sent to a specific mobile phone) has been carried out in-house and the results have shown that data were received without corruption.
#### 8. Conclusions
Based on these results, it is our determination that the device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device.
This summary on 510(k) substantial equivalence information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.
