The DHD Stealth Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) Spacer (Without Integral Actuator) assists with the delivery of aerosolized medications when used in conjunction with commercially available Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) canisters with their associated actuator elbows. In addition, for convenience, the MDI canister/elbow, may be stored inside of the Stealth when not in use (the spacer acts as the MDI canister/elbow holding chamber). Pilot is a one piece, silicone rubber face mask that may be attached to the Stealth MDI holding chamber as an interface between the Stealth MDI and the patient's face/mouth region. Federal (USA) Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Device Story
Pilot is a single-piece, injection-molded silicone rubber face mask designed as an accessory for the Stealth MDI Spacer. It attaches to the spacer via a tapered fitting with a stop ledge to ensure secure connection. The device serves as an interface between the Stealth MDI holding chamber and the patient's face/mouth region. It is intended for single-patient use and is manually cleanable in warm soapy water. The mask is available in small, medium, and large sizes to accommodate different facial structures. By providing a mask interface, the device assists in the delivery of aerosolized medications, helping to reduce coordination and technique-related challenges associated with standard MDI use. It is used in both clinical and home environments under physician prescription.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data or specific studies were conducted for this submission. The device is a passive accessory; substantial equivalence is based on design and material characteristics.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Bayer LSR 20 series silicone rubber. Form factor: Single-piece, injection-molded, tapered fitting with stop ledge. Sizes: Small, medium, large. Connectivity: Mechanical interface only. Energy source: None. Sterilization: Manual cleaning by user.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients capable of following directions for MDI spacer therapy as determined by a physician, including those requiring a mask interface for aerosolized medication delivery. May be used in hospital or home 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.

Re : K981167 Stealth Pilot Kit Requlatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 73 CAF Dated: March 23, 1998 April 1, 1998 Received:
Dear Mr. Wallace:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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, Druq, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval) 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS

inspections, FDA will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal Laws or Regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510 (k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your device on the labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
