The document describes a system for acquiring and transmitting physiological signals for sleep studies. It explicitly states that the system does not provide alarms, monitoring, or diagnosis, and that analysis is performed by trained professionals using separate software. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
No
Explanation: The N7000 system is explicitly stated as intended for the acquisition and recording of physiological signals for sleep studies, and that "The N7000 system does not provide any alarms and is not intended to be a monitor." and "The use of the Embla N7000 system does not involve any patient monitoring or diagnosis." It is an acquisition and recording device, not a device that treats or diagnoses.
No
The document explicitly states: "The use of the Embla N7000 system does not involve any patient monitoring or diagnosis." It is intended for the acquisition and transmission of physiological signals for later review and analysis by trained professionals.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of hardware components (Communication Unit/MDrive, Headbox, Patient Unit) that are physically connected to the patient and perform signal acquisition, amplification, and transmission. The MDrive is described as an "alternate upgrade for the current CU component" and provides hardware functionality like a keypad and display.
Based on the provided text, the N7000 system (with MDrive) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- N7000 Function: The N7000 system is described as acquiring, amplifying, recording, and transmitting physiological signals (respiratory, EEG, ECG, positional, oximetry) directly from a patient connected to the device. It does not involve the collection or analysis of specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for clinical sleep applications, specifically for the acquisition of physiological signals during sleep studies. The data is then reviewed and analyzed by trained professionals using separate software.
- Lack of Specimen Handling: There is no mention of the device handling or analyzing any biological specimens.
Therefore, the N7000 system falls under the category of a medical device that directly interacts with the patient to acquire physiological data, rather than an IVD device that analyzes specimens.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The N7000 system (with MDrive) is intended for clinical sleep applications, with recording and/or amplification capability of numerous types of physiological signals used by a physician or trained technician for the acquisition of respiratory, electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG), positional, user triggered event and Oximetry parameters from a patient connected Headbox and/or Patient Unit during sleep related studies.
The general intended environments are hospitals, institutions, sleep centers, and sleep clinics, but the device should be capable of functioning in any environment where patients can sleep reasonably comfortably.
The users are the general public, trained physicians, trained sleep technicians (RPGST) or people working under the supervision of one of these professionals. The user may or may not possess knowledge of the physiological signals or test criteria.
The N7000 system does not provide any alarms and is not intended to be a monitor.
A trained sleep technologist (polysomnographer) and a physician would typically review and analyze the N7000 data when it is communicated and presented on a PC using a separate application software program.
The Embla N7000 is intended for use by a physician or trained technician for the acquisition of EEG and polysomnography (PSG) signals and transmission of these signals to a PC during neurophysiologic or sleep examinations. The intended environments are hospitals, institutions, sleep centers, sleep clinics, or other test environments.
The use of the Embla N7000 system does not involve any patient monitoring or diagnosis.

Device Description
The original cleared N7000 system consists of 3 separate components; a mains connected Communication Unit (CU) for signal amplification and transmission to a host PC, a Headbox that is cable connected to the CU, and a Patient unit that is cable connected to the Headbox. Patient electrodes are connected to the Headbox and the Patient Unit with several electrodes and sensors non-invasively attached to a patient during sleep.
The MDrive device is intended as an alternate upgrade for the current CU component and provides all original functionality and system connectivity that exists with the CU.
The major additions that the MDrive provides over the existing CU component in the N7000 svstem are:
- A wireless connection option to the host PC, in addition to a wired connection, . 1.
- a local keypad and display for the user to perform electrode impedance checking 2. and biocalibration locally rather that from a remote PC, and
- study recording capability using an SD card in the event of PC host 3. communication interruption. The SD card study can then be uploaded to the host PC.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Safety tests on the N7000 with the MDrive have been performed to verify compliance with IEC 60601-1/UL60601-1 and any applicable particular standards in this family of international safety standards to ensure that there are no potential hazards on patients, operators, or the surroundings.
Electromagnetic Compatibility tests according to IEC 60601-1-2 have been performed to ensure that no intolerable electro-magnetic disturbances are introduced.
Immunity tests to IEC 60601-1-2 have been performed to ensure that the device operates satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment.
The internal testing, verification in various design phases, and validation of performance specifications have been completed with acceptable results.
The signals received, amplified, recorded and transmitted by the MDrive in the Embla N7000 system were compared to signals received, amplified and transmitted by the Communications Unit in the N7000 predicate system. The result of the comparison is that all signals received, amplified, recorded and transmitted by the MDrive were identical to signals received, amplified and transmitted by the predicate devices.

CONCLUSION
The signals received, amplified, recorded and transmitted by the MDrive in the Embla N7000 system were compared to signals received, amplified and transmitted by the Communications Unit in the N7000 predicate system. The result of the comparison is that all signals received, amplified, recorded and transmitted by the MDrive were identical to signals received, amplified and transmitted by the predicate devices.
It is therefore the conclusion of Embla Systems that the Embla MDrive is substantially equivalent to devices already on the market (cleared by the 510(k) process) and presents no new concerns about safety and effectiveness.
