A Multi-center, Human Factors Engineering (HFE) Usability Study in Cystic Fibrosis Patients to Validate the Approved Instructions for Use (IFU) of TOBI® Podhaler™ (Tobramycin Inhalation Powder) Using Placebo Capsules

The purpose of this actual use human factors (HF) study is to validate the approved US TOBI
Podhaler Instructions for Use (IFU), by establishing that the IFU effectively communicates
the information necessary to achieve safe and effective use of the Podhaler device.

The objective of the HF study is to determine whether cystic fibrosis patients in the US,
representative of potential TOBI Podhaler users, can understand and follow the approved IFU
and the extent to which the approved IFU supports safe and effective use of the Podhaler
device.

This study is an 'actual use' study, in that patients will inhale the contents of placebo
capsules through the Podhaler device.

Due to the use of placebo capsules, the study is considered a clinical study and will be
conducted accordingly. The study is therefore a human factors observational use study
conducted within a clinical study. It is an open label, unblinded, non-randomized study and
consists of two visits. At visit 2 patients who are eligible will participate in a human
factor assessment to determine whether or not a patient understands the IFU content and can
demonstrate safe and effective use of the Podhaler device.

- Male and female subjects aged 6 years and older at screening
