Intended Use
The Somté System is a multi-functional ambulatory recording device intended to be used to collect and store signals related to sleep disorders, including respiratory signals, ECG signals and limb movement signals, to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory and/or cardiac related sleep disorders. The Somté System is not intended for use as life support equipment such as vital signs monitoring in intensive care units. The Somté System is only to be used under the direction and supervision of a physician, technologist or clinician. It will not prevent or restore the interruption or loss of any physiological system.
Device Description
The Compumedics Somté Patient Recording System is a multi-functional, ambulatory recording device. The Somté is used to collect and store a patient's ECG and respiratory signals, which are then used as an aid in the diagnosis of cardiac and/or respiratory related sleep disorders by qualified physicians. The system is comprised of hardware and software, which provides up to 13 separate parameters for recording, review and analysis. The data are acquired from a combination of electrodes, sensors and transducers. Signal types can include electrocardiogram (ECG), pressure, airflow, snore, respiratory effort, body position, limb movement, oxygen saturation, pulse rate and pulse waveform. The electrodes and sensors used to acquire patient data are connected between the patient and the Somté System Recorder. Patient Studies are recorded using the Compumedics Somté Software which allows the user to view, print, summarise, analyse and create Patient Study reports. The Somté Patient Recording Unit has a built in Compact Flash Disk interface for storage and convenient transfer to review workstations. There is no proprietary hardware required to transfer the study data.

No
The document describes a device for collecting and storing physiological signals for analysis by a physician, but there is no mention of AI or ML being used for the analysis itself.

No.
The device is used to collect and store signals to aid in diagnosis, not to treat or provide therapy for a condition. The 'Intended Use' specifically states, "It will not prevent or restore the interruption or loss of any physiological system."

Yes
The 'Intended Use' section states that the device is "to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory and/or cardiac related sleep disorders." The 'Device Description' also notes that the collected signals are "used as an aid in the diagnosis of cardiac and/or respiratory related sleep disorders by qualified physicians."

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of both hardware and software, and details the hardware components (recording unit, electrodes, sensors, transducers).

Based on the provided text, the Somté System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This examination is performed outside of the living body.
  • Somté System Function: The Somté System collects physiological signals (ECG, respiratory, limb movement, etc.) directly from the patient's body while they are alive and wearing the device. This is an in vivo process, not an in vitro process.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "ambulatory recording device intended to be used to collect and store signals related to sleep disorders... to aid in the diagnosis". This describes a device that monitors and records physiological data from a living patient.

Therefore, the Somté System falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring and recording, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Bundy:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
