Intended Use
The intended use of NPOSES (Nocturnal Pulse Oximetry Study Expert System) software is to collect, analyze, report and archive oximetry trend data to provide information to a Medical Doctor specializing in sleep medicine, as a supplemental tool to assist in the timely diagnosis of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). NPOSES is intended for use by an MD/Respiratory Specialist through the following process steps (1) recording and transferring data from a pulse oximeter to a computer in order to maintain unique records per patient of pulse oximetry data, (2) analyzing. reviewing and validating patient data and summary statistics according to customized. user-selected parameters, and (3) generating and archiving reports. NPOSES in itself is not a diagnosis tool. It is a decision management tool which allows medical personnel to upload and view data related to a sleep study and provide output reports as feedback which may be used by an MD to form a diagnosis.
Device Description
The PHD Medical NPOSES (Nocturnal Pulse Oximetry Study Expert System) application scores data in the patient history, physician comments and test results to automatically produce an analysis report as input to the identification of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea which is presented to Respiratory Specialists and Medical Doctors. The suggested diagnosis is used to assist the Medical Director in the diagnosis of the severity of obstructive sleep apnea. The application enables the efficient processing of patient sleep evaluation studies while allowing the medical staff to concentrate on critical cases.

No
The summary describes the software as a "decision management tool" that analyzes and reports data based on "customized, user-selected parameters." It does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, nor does it describe a training or test set, which are typical for ML-based devices. The analysis appears to be based on predefined rules or algorithms rather than learned patterns.

No.
The device is described as a software tool for collecting, analyzing, and reporting oximetry trend data to assist in the diagnosis of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. It is explicitly stated that "NPOSES in itself is not a diagnosis tool" and it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

No

The document explicitly states, "NPOSES in itself is not a diagnosis tool. It is a decision management tool which allows medical personnel to upload and view data related to a sleep study and provide output reports as feedback which may be used by an MD to form a diagnosis."

Yes

The device description and intended use clearly state that NPOSES is an "application" and "software" that processes data from a pulse oximeter (which is a separate device not included in this submission) and generates reports. There is no mention of any hardware component being part of the NPOSES device itself.

Based on the provided information, the NPOSES software is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze biological samples: IVDs are designed to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health.
  • NPOSES analyzes physiological data: NPOSES collects and analyzes data from a pulse oximeter, which measures physiological parameters (pulse rate and oxygen saturation) non-invasively from the body. It does not process biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that NPOSES collects, analyzes, reports, and archives oximetry trend data. This data is derived from a medical device (pulse oximeter) applied to the patient, not from a biological sample.

Therefore, NPOSES falls under the category of a medical device software that processes physiological data, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
