Waiver Rationale Summary
In order to develop effective vaccines, Program needs to effectively study asthma by using a clinical assessment tool to identify pathways in the human and mouse immune system, which requires an asthma assessment tool that would be unique to their process by allowing them to perform mobile assessment for asthma. Program is planning to perform studies that would take them into patient’s homes and thus would need something that is easily portable. The Thorasys Tremoflo C-100 is the only known portable IOS device with software that can run on standard desktop, laptop, or tablet and has an interface designed to support optimal workflow. The software is proprietary to the manufacturer, Thorasys Inc, distributed by US distributor Morgan Scientific.
