Intended Use

ProChamber™ Valved Holding Chamber is intended for use in combination with Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI's) to assist in respiratory drug delivery. All patients using MDI's, i.e., children and adults, may use ProChamber ™. Settings for use include the home, clinics and hospitals. This device is intended for prescription use.

Device Story

ProChamber Valved Holding Chamber is a non-electrical accessory for Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs). It consists of an MDI adapter, chamber, mouthpiece, duckbill valve, exhaust valve, and silicone cap. The device functions by attaching to an MDI to facilitate drug delivery; the one-way valve system and chamber design help minimize aerosol deposition in the oropharynx and ensure reproducible dose delivery. It is used by patients (children and adults) in homes, clinics, and hospitals under prescription. The device utilizes the MDI's own actuator to direct the aerosol plume toward the patient. It benefits patients by improving the efficiency of respiratory medication delivery compared to using an MDI alone.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, specifically particle size distribution and dose delivery reproducibility compared to the predicate device and MDI alone, following FDA guidance for spacers and actuators.

Technological Characteristics

Non-electrical valved holding chamber. Components include MDI adapter, chamber, mouthpiece, duckbill valve, exhaust valve, and silicone cap. Features one-way valve mechanism. Portable, manual operation. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for children and adults using Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) to assist in respiratory drug delivery in home, clinic, or hospital settings.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A nebulizer is a device intended to spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. Heated, ultrasonic, gas, venturi, and refillable nebulizers are included in this generic type of device.

{0}------------------------------------------------ # NOV 1 3 2003 ## Attachment #1 ## 510(K) SUMMARY This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR §807.92. The assigned 510(k) number is:_ K032809 #### Submitter's Identification: 1. Respironics HealthScan, Inc. 41 Canfield Road Cedar Grove, NJ 07009 Contact: Ms. Lauren R. Ziegler ### Date Summary Prepared: July 31, 2003 #### 2. Name of the Device: ProChamber ™ Valved Holding Chamber #### 3. Predicate Device Information: K#992917, Aerochamber Plus™ Valved Holding Chamber, Trudell Medical International, London, Ontario, Canada #### 4. Device Description: The device consists of an MDI Adapter, a Chamber, a Mouthpiece, a Duckbill Valve, an Exhaust Valve and a Silicone Cap. There are no electrical or electronic components. #### ട. Intended Use: ProChamber™ Valved Holding Chamber is intended for use in combination with Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI's) to assist in respiratory drug delivery. All patients using MDI's, i.e., children and adults, may use ProChamber ™. Settings for use include the home, clinics and hospitals. This device is intended for prescription use. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Comparison to Predicate Devices: 6. The subject (ProChamber™) and predicate device (AeroChamber Plus™ – K#992917) are indicated for the same intended use. The devices are of similar size and shape and performance characteristics are basically the same. The main difference is the valve design. The subject device and predicate devices share the following characteristics: - Similar dimensions . - Portable . - Reproducible dose delivery . - Minimization of aerosol disposition in oropharynx . - Spray direction of aerosol plume is toward patient . - . One-way valve - Utilizes MDI's own actuator . ### 7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows: The ProChamber ™ and the predicate device, the AeroChamber Plus™ , were tested for particle size distribution testing, as well as directly compared to and MDI alone without the spacer attached. A particle size comparison between the subject spacer and the attached MDI alone was tested, according to the methodology outlined in the FDA "Reviewer Guidance for Nebulizers, Metered Dose Inhalers, Spacers and Actuators, 10/93". Testing documentation showed that particle size range and reproducibility compared to the predicate device, was acceptable. #### Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed: 8. Not applicable #### 9. Conclusions: The subject device, the ProChamber™ Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) Valved Holding Chamber, has a similar intended use and similar characteristics as the predicate device, the AeroChamber Plus™ Valved Holding Chamber. Moreover, non-clinical testing included in this submission demonstrated that any differences in their characteristics do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. {2}------------------------------------------------ ### Exhibit B Page __ 1 __ of __ 1 __ 510(k) Number (if known): __ K03 2809 Device Name ProChamber™ Valved Holding Chamber ### Indications For Use: ProChamber™ Valved Holding Chamber is intended for use in combination with Metered Dose Inhalers (MDI's) to assist in respiratory drug delivery.
