No
The description mentions "scoring by algorithm" and "mathematical data processing function," but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training sets, test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML models.
No.
The device is a software tool primarily for data analysis, management, and reporting related to sleep studies, aiding in diagnosis rather than providing direct therapy.
No
The text explicitly states: "ApneiCare Connection Center/Internet Analysis itself is not a diagnostic tool." It further clarifies that it is an "information and decision management tool" used to upload, view, and score data related to sleep studies and provide reports to a physician, and is "intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of sleep and respiratory related sleep disorders." This indicates it supports the diagnostic process rather than performing the diagnosis itself.
Yes
The device description explicitly states that ApneiCare Connection Center/Internet Analysis is a "software device" and describes its components and functions as software applications running on standard operating systems and frameworks. It processes data received from external hardware devices but does not include any hardware components itself.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the software is an "aid in the diagnosis of sleep and respiratory related sleep disorders" and an "information and decision management tool." It also clearly states, "ApneiCare Connection Center/Internet Analysis itself is not a diagnostic tool." IVD devices are intended to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This software processes data from devices that evaluate sleep disorders, which are typically collected in vivo (within the body).
- Device Description: The description focuses on data processing, analysis, display, and management of data from sleep study devices. It describes mathematical data processing and reporting of events, not the analysis of biological specimens.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.
The software acts as a tool to process and present data collected by other devices used in sleep studies, assisting medical personnel in their diagnostic process. It does not perform the diagnostic test itself on a biological specimen.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
ApneiCare Connection Center/Internet Analysis is a software device, intended to be used as an aid in the diagnosis of sleep and respiratory related sleep disorders. ApneiCare Connection Center/Internet Analysis is used for analysis (semi-automatic and manual rescoring), display, redisplay (retrieve), edit, summarize, to generate user defined reports, networking and managing of data received from devices that are typically used to evaluate sleep- and sleep related respiratory disorders. ApneiCare Connection Center/Internet Analysis software also provides scoring of desaturation events as they related to sleep breathing disorders.
ApneiCare Connection Center/Internet Analysis is intended to be used as an information and decision management tool to import/record and transmit/transfer data typically captured to evaluate sleep and respiratory related sleep disorders.
ApneiCare Connection Center/Internet Analysis itself is not a diagnostic tool. It is an information and decision management tool which allows medical personnel to upload, view, and score data related to a sleep study and provide output reports to a physician.
The use of this software is to be under the supervision of a physician, sleep technologies, or clinician.

Device Description
ApneiCare Connection Center / Internet Analysis is composed of two components: The Connection Center and the Internet Analysis Application. The ApneiCare Connection Center and the ApneiCare Internet Analysis Application function in a client server relationship.
The purpose of ApneiCare Connection Center is to download stored data from supported devices that are typically used to evaluate sleep and sleep related respiratory disorders. It allows users to export sleep data, and interact with the ApneiCare Internet Analysis to run analysis reports on sleep studies.
ApneiCare Connection Center will operate under Windows XP and Windows Vista; but more importantly is built on Microsoft .NET Framework. The ApneiCare applications have been designed on Microsoft .NET Framework to take advantage of the latest laver of abstraction to allow for Operating System changes in the future while lowering the probability of the application being negatively impacted by operating system changes. "ApneiCare Connection Center is responsible for binding patient information to the study and downloading the data off of the source device. The ApneiCare Connection Center is a small program on the PC with functionality limited to that of general purpose data entry, storage and communication, it performs no data manipulation functions. The data is then communicated to ApneiCare Internet Analysis via an Internet connection, where the sleep analysis and reporting is performed. The ApneiCare Connection Center has built in features to insure that required patient information is entered and that internet connectivity is available. All Internet activity is encrypted and secure. Each transaction between ApneiCare Connection Center and ApneiCare Internet Analysis is conducted over at least 128-bit HTTPS using private and public encryption.
Saved tests can be converted into ASCII format for importing to spreadsheets or databases. The patient information consists of the patient name and address, an ID number, patient insurance and other relevant information. The ApneiCare Internet Analysis Application provides information pertaining to the waveform patterns, such as those of the SpO2 and pulse recording, to aid physicians with the diagnosis of sleep and breathing disorders. Individual desaturation and respiratory events in series (cycles) are scored by algorithm. These patterns are identified using DPAR objects. In addition, to the Internet Analysis the ApneiCare Internet Analysis DPAR Case Viewer application module may also be used to manually score events and visually compare and analyze across multiple channels of data.
The ApneiCare Internet Analysis Application is primarily a mathematical data processing function that reports cycling respiratory events across multiple channels of data. The functionality of the ApneiCare Internet Analysis Application is not time critical or real time. Therefore delays in internet transfer do not impact functionality. The ApneiCare Internet Analysis Application also performs a data management functions which allows the various authorized users of the system to access, view, report and analyze individual cases. The ApneiCare Connection Center is compiled for .NET 2.0, and dependent upon the .NET Framework as the OTS. .NET 2.0 is provided by Microsoft and contains the CLR (Common Language Runtime) which has abstracted ApneiCare Connection Center away from specific Microsoft Windows Operating System Versions. The ApneiCare Internet Analysis application is a server application, runs on Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005, and .NET 3.5, it is managed in a centralized location by ApneiCare.

Dear Mr. Dryden:
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.
