Intended Use
The Asthma Monitor AM3/AM3 BT/AM3 GSM is an electronic measurement device to monitor the lung function (determination of the respiratory flows and volume) with high reproducibility wherever and whenever there is a need of. The AM3 measures the flow during expiration serving for the calculation of further parameters as FEV1. The AM3 is used to monitor the respiratory status of adult human beings in the areas of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and in areas like occupational medicine, clinical trials and disease management. The patient is informed of the results by numeric values for the selected parameters (e.g. PEF, FEV1). Furthermore, a visual control unit, displayed in the form of traffic lights, allows an immediate indication of the measurement based on criteria defined by the patient's physician. The device saves the results of a measurement (always with date and time) automatically in an internal database. In addition, questionnaire functionality can be called up by the use of a software package (AMOS) to record e.g. the "Quality of Life" status. When enabled, the AM3 can be programmed with a couple of questions, where the patient can then select from a couple of different answers. This information is also stored in the internal database and can be transmitted for evaluation to a standard PC using the software package AMOS. The AM3 is designed to replace an ordinary peak flow meter, diary and pencil by a single system. Easy handling, sturdy and handy design allow the Asthma Monitor AM3 to be used in healthcare, clinical and home use environments/settings.

### Discussion of the table above:
The insignificant difference to the AM3/AM3 BT (K092890) is:
- GSM is used for wireless data transfer to a Database as an additional . possibility besides the serial, USB and BlueTooth interface communication. GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is an open, digital cellular technology used for transmitting mobile voice and data services. The in-built GSM module is used instead of an external cell phone paired to the AM3 BT to transmit the data to a database.
- The device performance is not affected by adding the GSM function, as the ● data transfer is offline and will not take place when a measurement is active or a questionnaire is performed.
- . As the data transfer is offline to the measurement or questionnaire functionality and all data is stored in a nonvolatile memorv. The availability of reception to the GSM is not critical, as the data transfer could be done at any time without any influence to the device functionality.
- . The wireless transfer is based on the use of the GSM module Sierra Wireless WISMO288. The GSM module uses techniques to guarantee the integrity of the transferred data. Latency and throughput is part of the GSM module implementation. The use of the qualified GSM module ensures that the latency and throughput requirements were met.
- Minor modifications of the software concerning the GSM module are . verified. The software requirements and design specifications submitted, include requirements and specifications of the entire device. Based on the recommendations of the "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" only verification reports related to the modifications which caused the need for a Special 510(k) are submitted.
- . The Applicable EMC and telecommunications standards and regulations, including device emissions that may cause EMI with other equipment are fulfilled.
- · Li-lon battery is used as energy type. The battery has to be charged by a power supply. The Li-Ion battery and the power supply fulfil the common standards and were implemented and tested for safe and effective use.
#### 5.15 Summary of Device Testing
The following practices were followed and monitored for development of the Asthma Monitor AM3 with the GSM data transmission:
- . The GSM data transmission for the above device was developed in accordance with the eResearchTechnology development standard operating procedures.
{6}------------------------------------------------
- The risk analysis method used to assess the impact of Asthma Monitor . AM3 / AM3 BT with the additional GSM data transmission was a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
- Safety test procedures demonstrate satisfaction of all safety . requirements and mitigation of all identified hazards.
- The EMC testing was performed according EN 60601-1-2. .
- The GSM module was tested according to R&TTE and FCC guidelines. .
- The software was developed according to the IEC 62304 Standard. .
#### 5.16 Conclusions
Based on the above, eResearchTechnology concludes that the Asthma Monitor AM3 with the "GSM" data transmission module does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness and is as safe and as effective for its intended use, and performs at least as well as the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Miller:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
