The description mentions a "proprietary algorithm" to extract respiration rate from sensor data, but there is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms. The performance studies describe comparisons to predicate devices and testing on volunteers, but do not indicate the use of training or test sets characteristic of ML model development.
No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is for measurement/monitoring only and states it is "not a vital signs monitor or an apnea monitor." It gathers information (respiration rate) but does not provide any treatment or therapy.
Yes
The device measures respiration rate, which is a physiological parameter used to assess a patient's health status. While it's not a vital signs monitor, collecting and displaying this specific physiological data for medical assessment in a hospital or clinical setting aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it includes a "small sensor unit" which is a hardware component that emits and receives radio signals to measure chest movement. While it also includes software for data processing and display, it is not solely software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 measures respiration rate by detecting chest movement using a radio signal. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the device does not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 consists of
- A small sensor unit that can stand on a desk top or shelf. The sensor . unit emits a very low power radio signal that is aimed at the patient. The sensor utilizes the reflected radio signal to measure the chest movement of the patient, and thus discern the respiration rate. The sensor has no part that is in contact with the patient.
- The sensor data is transmitted to a PC running a proprietary display . program. The validated transmission method to the PC is a BlueTooth wireless link.
- . The PC display program runs a proprietary algorithm to extract the respiration rate from the sensor movement data. The program displays
- The respiration rate, and o
- Indicates whether there is a valid target, whether the o target is moving too much for a breathing signal to be indentified or the signal is clear enough for a breathing rate to be calculated.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Initially, the basic performance envelope of the BM07 was established in terms of the maximum effective range and the effects of different target aspects. These tests were carried out using the SOMNOscreen predicate device as a comparator device for the measurement of breathing rate. The SOMNOscreen has chest effort bands and so measures breathing rate by direct contact with the subject. However, it does not have a real-time readout, the data has to be processed after the end of the recording session and the breathing rate displayed in a graph against time. The BM07 recordings were similarly processed to facilitate comparison.
Validation testing was also carried out to confirm that the BM07 sensor continued to perform satisfactorily in the presence of typical potential RF interference emitters and also that the breathing rate calculation was stable across a number of individual examples of the device.
Finally, the overall performance of the system was tested on 24 volunteer subjects, of varying gender, height and BMI, against the SOMNOscreen Plus RC Easy [K060708] predicate device, which is classified as a ventilatory effort recorder, to replicate the bench tests of the Kai Spot.
In all instances, the SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 functioned as intended and breathing rate observed was as expected.

The device is indicated for use as suitable for use on adult patients. It should not be used on patients that exhibit uncontrolled limb movement.
Product Description
The SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 consists of
- A small sensor unit that can stand on a desk top or shelf. The sensor . unit emits a very low power radio signal that is aimed at the patient. The sensor utilizes the reflected radio signal to measure the chest movement of the patient, and thus discern the respiration rate. The sensor has no part that is in contact with the patient.

- Indicates whether there is a valid target, whether the o target is moving too much for a breathing signal to be indentified or the signal is clear enough for a breathing rate to be calculated.
Technological Characteristics
The BM07 utilizes a 5.8GHz pulsed radar as its sensor technology. The Kai R-Spot utilizes a 2.4GHz continuous wave radar as it sensor technology. Both frequencies are in common use as radiolocation frequencies and are in license-free portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The choice of centre frequency and pulsed or continuous wave are merely design and cost decisions: the lower frequency will require a larger antenna and so determine the device size and continuous wave radar is slightly cheaper than pulsed
2
radar to fabricate. There are no significant differences in the technological characteristics between the 2 devices.
Performance Data
Initially, the basic performance envelope of the BM07 was established in terms of the maximum effective range and the effects of different target aspects. These tests were carried out using the SOMNOscreen predicate device as a comparator device for the measurement of breathing rate. The SOMNOscreen has chest effort bands and so measures breathing rate by direct contact with the subject. However, it does not have a real-time readout, the data has to be processed after the end of the recording session and the breathing rate displayed in a graph against time. The BM07 recordings were similarly processed to facilitate comparison.
Validation testing was also carried out to confirm that the BM07 sensor continued to perform satisfactorily in the presence of typical potential RF interference emitters and also that the breathing rate calculation was stable across a number of individual examples of the device.
Finally, the overall performance of the system was tested on 24 volunteer subjects, of varying gender, height and BMI, against the SOMNOscreen Plus RC Easy [K060708] predicate device, which is classified as a ventilatory effort recorder, to replicate the bench tests of the Kai Spot.
In all instances, the SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 functioned as intended and breathing rate observed was as expected.
Substantial Equivalence
The application cites 2 predicate devices:
- . The Kai Sensors R-Spot 100 [K090273] is an RF-based non-contact breathing indicator. It is used to establish substantial equivalence in technology and intended use of the BM07 to a previously cleared device. Despite the company's best efforts, the Kai R-Spot 100 could not be procured for use in side-by-side performance testing, and so the performance testing was carried out against a SOMNOscreen Plus RC Easy.
- The SOMNOscreen Plus RC Easy [K060708] is a portable Ventilatory . Effort recorder. The chest effort bands of the SOMNOscreen were used to collect the chest breathing effort and thus calculate the breathing
3
rate. The SOMNOscreen does not give a real time indication; the data is processed after the end of the recording session.
The SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 is as safe and effective as the Kai Sensors Kai R-Spot 100. The SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the Kai R-Spot 100. The minor technological differences between the SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 and the Kai R-Spot 100 device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data collected against the SOMNOscreen predicate device demonstrate that the SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 meets general market and scientific expectations of accuracy, as does the Kai R-Spot 100. Thus, the SleepMinder Breathing Frequency Indicator BM07 is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
