Intended Use

The Curasa AUTO CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) with heated humidifier system is intended for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea only in spontaneously breathing patients weighing >30 kg. It is for use in the home or hospital /institutional environment.

Device Description

The Curasa AUTO CPAP System with heated humidifier is used on adult patients for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The Auto CPAP system provides a stable continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The Auto mode detects breathing phenomena (e.g. snore, hypopnea) and automatically adjusts the delivered pressure. The humidifier provides warm, humidified air for comfort to the patient, reducing nose and airway dryness. The Curasa AUTO CPAP system includes the following accessories: a power supply, a Patient Air Circuit, and a U-tube connection between CPAP and humidifier. All of the accessories provided with the Curasa AUTO CPAP are identical to those provided with the predicate Curasa CPAP SD (K123897).

The Auto CPAP system has been modified based Curasa CPAP SD (K123897) hardware and software. The design of the humidifier and humidifier interface is identical to the referenced predicate device (Curasa CPAP SD, K123897). The basic function and performance characteristics of Curasa AUTO CPAP are similar to the referenced predicate device (Curasa CPAP SD K123897). The Auto mode of operation is similar to the referenced predicate, Respironics Remstar Auto CPAP (K012554).

AI/ML Overview

The Curasa AUTO CPAP with Heated Humidifier System is intended for the treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The studies performed for this device included compliance with a number of electrical safety, biocompatibility, and performance standards, as well as a clinical study.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: 60 adult patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
  • Data Provenance: Clinical study conducted at two (2) hospitals in China.
  • Retrospective or Prospective: Prospective, as patients were enrolled and underwent a 3-night study protocol specifically for this evaluation.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the "ground truth" for the test set in the clinical study. However, the study involved Polysomnography (PSG) for diagnosing OSA and recording AHI and SpO2, which implies interpretation by trained sleep specialists or technicians.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not explicitly describe an adjudication method for the test set. It mentions that AHI, minimum SpO2, and average SpO2 were recorded by PSG, and p-values were calculated for before and after treatment groups, and for trial and control groups. This implies direct measurement and statistical comparison rather than a human reader adjudication process for the primary endpoints.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

A MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance was not performed. The clinical study compared the Curasa AUTO CPAP system's performance to a predicate device (Respironics Auto CPAP) in treating OSA patients, not the performance of human readers with or without AI assistance.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

The device itself is an automated CPAP system, implying it operates "standalone" in its function of automatically adjusting pressure based on detected breathing phenomena. The clinical study evaluated the effectiveness of this automated function. However, the term "standalone performance" often refers to an algorithm's performance against a ground truth in an AI/imaging context, which is not directly applicable here. The clinical study assessed the overall device (hardware + embedded algorithms) performance in vivo.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the clinical study was established using objective physiological measurements from Polysomnography (PSG). Specifically, AHI (Apnea/Hypopnea Index), minimum SpO2 (Pulse Oximeter Oxygen Saturation), and average SpO2 were recorded by PSG. These are standard, objective metrics for assessing the severity and treatment effectiveness of Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not specify a separate "training set" sample size. The clinical study enrolled 60 patients to evaluate the device's performance, implying this dataset was for verification/validation rather than training a machine learning model from scratch. Given the device's "Auto mode" functionality is described as "similar to the referenced predicate, Respironics Remstar Auto CPAP (K012554)," it's likely the auto-adjusting algorithm was developed and refined using prior knowledge and potentially internal datasets, but this information is not provided for the Curasa device.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As no "training set" is explicitly mentioned for the Curasa AUTO CPAP's auto-adjustment algorithm within this document, the method for establishing its ground truth for training is not provided. If the auto-mode algorithm was adapted from the predicate, then its initial ground truth would have been established during the predicate's development.

This 510(k) submission presents the results of the testing and detailed descriptions to demonstrate that Curasa AUTO CPAP with heated humidifier system is substantially equivalent to the Respironics Remstar Auto CPAP System (K012554) and Cursasa CPAP SD (K123897).

Clinical Data:

Curative Medical conducted a clinical study at two (2) hospitals in China enrolling sixty (60) adult patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) to evaluate the Curasa AUTO CPAP system compared to the predicate Respironics Auto CPAP. Selected OSA patients all underwent 3 nights of study with the PSG (polysomngram); the 1st night of PSG diagnosing; then randomly entered either the trial group or the 2nd night; following the 3rd night to complete the alternate group study. Each patient was evaluated by AHI (Apnealhypopnea Index); minimum SpO2 (Pulse Oximeter Oxygen Saturation) and average SpO2 recorded by PSG throughout the 3-night study. P-values were calculated using the t-test for before and after treatment groups and for trial and control groups. Results showed that the Curasa AUTO CPAP is effective and that there is no statistical difference between the Curasa AUTO CPAP and the predicate Respironics Auto CPAP device.

Conclusion:

The minor differences between the Curasa AUTO CPAP and its predicate devices outlined in the tables above do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. The information and data provided in this 510(k) notification establishes that the Curasa AUTO CPAP with heated humidifier system is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
