Intended Use
The Transcend Auto provides positive airway pressure for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults weighing over 66 pounds (30 kg). The device is intended for home and hospital/institutional use.
Device Description
The Transcend Auto is a microprocessor-controlled, blower-based system that generates positive airway pressure to support treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. It utilizes a differential pressure sensor connected to an internal pneumotach positioned in the airstream to determine flow levels. This flow signal, coupled with pressure sensing, is used to monitor breathing and adjust pressure. When interfaced with a mask, the system provides pressure from 4 to 20 cmHzO above the ambient atmospheric pressure to a patient's oral/nasal airway.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard microprocessor control and sensor-based pressure adjustments, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

Yes
The device is intended to provide positive airway pressure for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is a medical condition.

No

The device is described as providing positive airway pressure for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and monitoring breathing to adjust pressure. While it monitors breathing, the primary purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic. The clinical evaluation assesses its non-inferiority to another device in treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "microprocessor-controlled, blower-based system" that generates positive airway pressure, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the Transcend Auto is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The Transcend Auto is a therapeutic device. Its purpose is to provide positive airway pressure to treat obstructive sleep apnea by supporting the patient's breathing. It interacts directly with the patient's airway, not with a specimen taken from the patient.
  • The device description clearly outlines its function as a blower-based system that generates pressure and monitors breathing. This is consistent with a therapeutic device for respiratory support.

Therefore, the Transcend Auto falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

A 2 x 2 crossover clinical evaluation was conducted that enrolled 41 adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea to assess the non-inferiority of the Transcend Auto to the REMstar Auto in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, as measured by apnea hypopnea index (AHI) during treatment. No unanticipated adverse device effects were reported during the study. One adverse event was reported by a patient who had a low-level headache following treatment with the Transcend Auto. The adverse event resolved without intervention and the investigator reported that the it was possibly related to the device. The study met its primary efficacy endpoint of non-inferiority in AHI (p
