The Z1 CPAP System is a single patient reusable device that provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to support treatment of adults weighing over 66 lbs (30 kg) with obstructive sleep apnea.
The Z1 CPAP System provides continuous positive pressure to support the treatment of adults over 66 lbs (30 kg) with obstructive sleep apnea. The device is a non-critical care, reusable, single patient device for use in the home setting, and it is intended to be a prescription use only device. The Z1 CPAP System is a modified version of the Z1 Blower cleared in K121374. The modifications include: addition of an optional battery, addition of an APAP mode, addition of Bluetooth and a mobile app, addition of new user settings, and changes to firmware.
The provided document describes the Z1 CPAP System and its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, focusing on performance testing rather than clinical studies with human subjects. Therefore, some of the requested information, such as sample sizes for test and training sets, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies, are not applicable in this context.
Here's an analysis based on the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria for the Z1 CPAP System are primarily based on equivalence to predicate devices and adherence to established performance standards.
| Acceptance Criteria Category (Derived from document) | Z1 CPAP System Performance/Compliance |

Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:
The device's acceptance is primarily based on bench performance testing comparing the Z1 CPAP System to predicate devices, particularly the iSleep20i (K063476) for the APAP mode, and demonstrating compliance with relevant national and international performance and safety standards. No clinical data was generated to support substantial equivalence.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated as a numerical patient or case count. The testing involved "pneumatic air flow signals from a test lung" comprising a "clinically diverse data set of respiratory patterns, breathing rates, pressure settings, recovery to normal breathing and non-recovery patterns, etc." It also included "digitized flow samples" which formed another "clinically diverse data set."
- Data Provenance: The data used for testing was generated from a "test lung" and "digitized flow samples." This indicates the data is synthetic/simulated rather than originating from human patients in a specific country. It is retrospective in the sense that predetermined test cases were applied to the devices, rather than ongoing data collection from patients.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
- Number of Experts: Not applicable. The ground truth for this bench testing was established by the engineering specifications and expected outputs of the predicate device (iSleep20i). The comparison was directly against the known, cleared performance of the predicate device, not against expert medical interpretations of patient data.
- Qualifications of Experts: N/A as it's not an expert-driven ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Adjudication Method: Not applicable. The comparison was an objective, quantitative one between the output of the Z1 CPAP System and the predicate iSleep20i system, as well as against pre-defined engineering limits and standards. An "exact match" was an acceptance criterion for apnea-hypopnea event detection.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The device is a CPAP system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that involves human readers interpreting results.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Standalone Performance: Yes, the testing described appears to be a standalone (algorithm only) performance evaluation. The Z1 CPAP System's performance, particularly its APAP software, was compared directly against the iSleep20i's performance using identical input signals, without human intervention in the loop of the device's operational response.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- Type of Ground Truth: The ground truth for the APAP software equivalence testing was the known, cleared performance and output of the predicate device (iSleep20i), particularly its pressure adjustment outputs and apnea-hypopnea event detections. For other performance aspects (e.g., temperature, noise, flow rate), the ground truth was based on established engineering specifications, regulatory limits, and compliance with recognized standards.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. The document states that the Z1 CPAP System's APAP software is identical to the cleared iSleep20i software (from K063476). This means the Z1 did not involve a separate training process for its APAP algorithm itself, but rather acquired and ported existing, already-trained (or developed) software.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established: Not applicable, as the APAP software was acquired from a previously cleared device. The document states, "Human Design Medical ported the iSleep20i APAP software into the Z1 CPAP System without modification." Therefore, the training for the original iSleep20i software would have established its ground truth, but this information is not part of the current submission.

Technological Characteristics
| Compared to Predicate: | The Z1 CPAP System consists of the main flow generatorand accessories. The Z1 CPAP System and the identifiedpredicate devices have the same fundamental technologicalcharacteristic: Use of a pneumatic pump to delivercontinuous positive airway pressure within a clinicallyindicated therapeutic pressure range. |
|---|---|
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
All four of the systems include a flow generator and a power adaptor. The Z1 CPAP System, the Breas iSleep 20i System and the AeioMed Model 300157 also include an air tube and battery while the Z1 Blower cleared in K121374 can only be operated using the power adaptor and the air tube must be purchased separately. All four of the systems have buttons and a status display that allow the user to control the system. Additionally, the Z1 CPAP System allows the user to interact with the system via a mobile application. This is an optional user convenience component that does not impact the safety or effectiveness of the treatment delivered.
All four of the systems include a CPAP treatment mode with a ramp feature. The Z1 CPAP System, the Z1 Blower and the AeioMed Model 300157 include a ramp period up to 45 minutes while the Breas iSleep 20i System has a ramp period up to 60 minutes. This minor difference between the Z1 CPAP System and the Breas iSleep 20i System does not impact the substantial equivalence. All ramp features are identical between the Z1 Blower and the Z1 CPAP System.
The Z1 CPAP System and the Breas iSleep 20i System
{5}------------------------------------------------
both include an APAP mode with an auto pressure setting algorithm. The Z1 employs the exact same software code for the APAP mode auto pressure setting algorithm as was cleared for the iSleep20i in K063476. Performance data is provided which shows that the performance of the Z1 CPAP System in the APAP mode is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
All four of the systems include dynamic pressure control. The predicate systems have one fixed setting. The Z1 CPAP System has three user selectable settings (called Z-Breathe 1, 2 and 3). Performance data is provided which shows that all Z-Breathe settings are equivalent between the Z1 CPAP System and one of the identified predicate devices.
The pressure range for all four of the systems is 4-20 cmH20 in 0.5 cm H2O increments. The Z1 CPAP System, the Z1 Blower and the AeioMed Model 300157 include an automatic altitude adjustment for conditions up to 8,000 feet. The operating range and storage range for the Z1 CPAP System and the Z1 Blower are identical. All four systems allow data management functionality through an SD data card or memory card or through a USB port.
Both the Z1 CPAP System and one of the identified predicate devices use a lithium ion battery pack with 4 cells and a voltage of 14.4 volts. The battery longevity was measured to be 5-8 hours for the Z1 CPAP System depending upon the exact use conditions while it was measured to be 5-7 hours for the predicate. The environment of use for all four systems is the home while the Breas iSleep 20i System can also be used in a clinical setting.
Human Design Medical has performed the following Performance Testing: performance testing to support the safety and effectiveness of the Z1 CPAP System:
Maximum temperature at the patient connection port under normal and single fault conditions was < 43 degrees C at a pressure setting of 20 cmH20;
Pressure stability under static long-term conditions was within ± 1.0 cmH2O of the set pressure of 10 cmH2O;
{6}------------------------------------------------
Short term static pressure accuracy: the actual pressure was within the specified tolerance of the set pressure for all pressure settings;
Dynamic pressure stability: the average peak-to-peak pressure deviation was < the maximum limit established by Human Design Medical, for each pressure and breathe rate setting and was compared to a predicate device;
Maximum flow rate was ≥ minimum limit established by Human Design Medical for each pressure setting.
Acoustic noise testing found that the sound pressure level was 26dBA:
Testing of the battery was performed to verify the safety, performance and longevity of the battery accessory.
Ability of the system to detect air leaks: air leaks were detected within +5 mmH20 of the specified air leak detection thresholds:
Volatile organic compounds: no volatile organic compounds were observed in the air output of the device above what was found in the ambient air;
Particulate matter: no particulate matter was observed in the output air of the device above what was found in the ambient air;
The Z1 Blower added no carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide to the output air and the ozone output of the device met the 21 CFR 801.415 requirement of 0.05 ppm or less.
Altitude testing showed that the Z1 maintained actual output pressure within the specified tolerance limits throughout the entire specified altitude pressure range of operation.
The pressure waveforms for the three z-Breathe settings have been compared with the pressure waveforms for the predicate device and it was determined that the performance was substantially equivalent.
The Z1 Blower complies with the following performance

Testing of the CPAP Tube was performed which validated the recommended cleaning procedures and replacement interval.
{8}------------------------------------------------
The APAP software of the Z1 CPAP System is identical to the APAP software of the iSleep20i System cleared by FDA in K063476. The iSleep20i software source code, as well as the entire iSleep20i Design History File and Regulatory Master File were acquired by Human Design Medical as part of a business acquisition. Human Design Medical ported the iSleep20i APAP software into the Z1 CPAP System without modification. Therefore, the Z1 CPAP System employs the exact same software code as was cleared for the iSleep20i in K063476.
Since the APAP software has already been cleared in K063476 for the iSleep20i, it was only necessary to verify and validate that the Z1 CPAP System, when running the same software and presented with the same clinically diverse dataset on the bench, produces the same results as the iSleep20i System. Therefore Human Design Medical has conducted extensive bench testing of the Z1 CPAP System side-by-side with the iSleep20i System to verify and validate that the two devices produce the same respiratory event detections and pressure adjustment outputs for the same input air flow data. This testing is described in the following paragraph.
The same pneumatic air flow signals from a test lung were presented to the iSleep20i and the Z1. The test lung air flow signals comprised a clinically diverse data set of respiratory patterns, breathing rates, pressure settings, recovery to normal breathing and non-recovery patterns, etc. The therapy pressures generated by each device over time were compared. The pressure output of the Z1 matched the pressure output of the iSleep20i within the specified accuracy across all air flow signals within each sample time interval and met the acceptance criterion of matching within the specified accuracy. The outputs of ancillary algorithms for detecting apnea and hypopnea events were also compared. The number of apneahypopnea events detected by the two devices was the same, and met the acceptance criterion for an exact match. Additionally, software-level testing was performed in which the same digitized flow samples were presented to the iSleep20i and the Z1. The digitized flow data comprised a clinically diverse data set. The outputs of the software in each device were compared on a sample by sample basis and met all acceptance criteria for level of
{9}------------------------------------------------
| agreement. The results of the APAP testing satisfied eachand every acceptance criterion of the V&V Plan withoutexception. | |
|---|---|
| No clinical data was generated to support a substantialequivalence determination. A determination was made thatbench performance testing was appropriate versus clinicalperformance testing because there are accepted benchperformance testing methodologies available which allow adirect comparison of the performance of the Z1 CPAPSystem compared to the predicate devices under a widevariety of operating conditions. | |
| Conclusion: | The Z1 CPAP System is substantially equivalent to thepredicate devices, as the devices share a common intendeduse, and technological differences between the Z1 CPAPSystem and the predicate do not raise new questions ofsafety or effectiveness. |
