Intended Use

The S9 Cronulla for Her self-adjusting system is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in female patients weighing more than 66 lb (30 kg).

The S9 Cronulla for Her self-adjusting system is intended for home and hospital use.

Device Description

The 'S9 Cronulla for Her' contains a Micro-processor controlled blower (flow generator) system that generates Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) from 4-20 cmHzO as required to maintain an "air splint" for effective treatment of OSA. The system comprises the flow generator, patient tubing (standard, or heated), mask (patient interface) and humidifier. The 'S9 Cronulla for Her' System (S9 Cronulla for Her with HumidAire 5i) retains all the same hardware and performance features of the predicate device. Key features include in-line power supply, HumidAire 5i, tubing (heated and standard options) and colour LCD for better user interface.

The 'S9 Cronulla for Her' flow generator includes three therapy modes. These include:

  • CPAP mode - the device delivers a continuous positive airway pressure throughout the entire therapy session
  • AutoSet mode the device automatically adjusts pressure in response to inspiratory flow limitation, snore and apnea.
  • AutoSet for Her mode -- the device automatically adjusts pressure in response female-specific OSA characteristics.

The functional characteristics of the S9 Cronulla for Her system includes all the clinician and user friendly features of the predicate device which have been verified during usability studies in accordance with IEC 62366 Medical devices - Application of usability engineering to medical devices.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the regulatory submission for the ResMed S9 Cronulla for Her, a non-continuous ventilator (IPPB) designed for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in female patients. The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the S8 Aspen (K091947), by incorporating a new treatment mode called AutoSet for Her (AfH).

Here's an analysis based on your requested criteria:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission does not provide a formal table of specific, quantitative acceptance criteria for the clinical trial, nor does it explicitly list corresponding "reported device performance" against those criteria. Instead, it describes the primary endpoints and outcomes as "met" and generally discusses improvements and lack of significant differences.

However, based on the text, the implicit acceptance criteria for the clinical trial were demonstrating non-inferiority or efficacy in treating female OSA patients, with key outcomes being Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI). The non-clinical testing had "predetermined acceptance criteria" for pressure stability, response to apneas, and response to flow limitations and snore, which were reportedly met.

Acceptance Criteria (Implied/Stated)Reported Device Performance
Clinical Trial:
Primary endpoints met (non-inferiority for AHI and ODI)The primary endpoints were met, showing the AfH algorithm effectively treated female OSA patients as reflected by AHI and ODI outcomes.
Effective treatment of female OSA patients (AHI, ODI outcomes)AfH algorithm effectively treated female OSA patients as reflected by AHI and ODI outcomes.
Effect on sleep parameters (e.g., flow limitation)Flow limitation was significantly decreased with the AfH algorithm compared to the standard AutoSet algorithm.
Other sleep parameters (e.g., REM sleep, RERAs)No other statistically significant results were found in these parameters, but there were improvements in REM sleep percentage and RERAs.
Subjective feedback ("above average" ratings)No significant differences between AfH and standard AutoSet algorithms; all outcomes' median subjective ratings remained "above average."
No adverse events or complicationsNo adverse event or complications occurred.
Non-Clinical Testing:
Software change does not affect safety and effectivenessVerification activities were performed to verify this, and bench testing confirmed the product met predetermined acceptance criteria.
Compliance with S9 Cronulla System SpecificationSide-by-side bench testing verified that the S9 Cronulla for Her met the requirements, and it met the predefined Clinical Pass/Fail criteria.
Performance of therapy modes (Pressure stability, response to events)Bench testing (using a breathing machine to simulate patient breathing patterns) demonstrated the Flow Generator responded in a manner consistent with maintaining CPAP or adjusting pressure based on the patient's condition for CPAP and self-adjusting modes, and met predefined Clinical Pass/Fail criteria for pressure stability, response to apneas, and response to flow limitations and snore.
Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2:2007 (EMC)The device was designed and tested according to this standard.
Compliance with IEC 60601-1:2005 (Safety)The device was designed and tested according to this standard.
Successful Software Regression TestingSoftware regression testing was conducted.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample size for the clinical trial. It refers to "female OSA patients" without providing a number.
  • Data Provenance: The clinical trial was a "single-blind, randomised, cross-over non-inferiority study." It does not explicitly state the country of origin, but ResMed Ltd is based in Australia, and their official contact for the submission is in the US, suggesting a multinational context or at least compliance with international standards. The study design is prospective.

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

This information is not provided in the submission. The clinical trial was a direct comparison of two algorithms in patients, with outcomes (AHI, ODI, sleep parameters) likely derived from polysomnography (PSG) data, which is objectively measured. The "ground truth" here would thus be the objective physiological measurements of OSA, rather than an expert interpretation of, for example, medical images.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not explicitly provided. Given the nature of objective physiological measurements (AHI, ODI) as primary endpoints in a clinical trial, a complex adjudication method by multiple experts is less common than for subjective assessments or image interpretation. The study was single-blind, randomized, and cross-over.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

  • MRMC Study: No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This submission describes a clinical trial comparing two algorithms for a medical device (a ventilator), not an AI algorithm assisting human readers in interpreting medical data.

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

Yes, the clinical trial directly compared the performance of two algorithms: the new AutoSet for Her algorithm (AfH) against the standard AutoSet algorithm (predicate device's algorithm). This is a standalone comparison of the algorithms' effectiveness in treating OSA in female patients, without direct human intervention in the algorithm's diagnostic or therapeutic decision-making process. The device operates automatically based on these algorithms.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the clinical trial was objective physiological measurements related to obstructive sleep apnea, specifically:

  • Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI)
  • Oxygen Desaturation Index (ODI)
  • Other sleep parameters (e.g., flow limitation, REM sleep percentage, RERAs)

This data is typically derived from polysomnography (PSG), which directly measures these physiological events.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The submission does not specify a "training set" size. The "AutoSet for Her" mode is an additional treatment software mode based on specific OSA characteristics in females. While algorithms are typically developed using data, the document does not detail the development or training process for this particular algorithm beyond stating it's a "modified AutoSet algorithm." The focus of the clinical trial is on validating its performance, not on describing its development data.

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

This information is not provided as the submission focuses on the clinical validation of the device and its new mode, not the detailed development of the algorithm itself. It's implied that the algorithm was designed to respond to "female-specific OSA characteristics," suggesting that development would have been based on clinical understanding and data related to these characteristics, likely derived from sleep studies and medical research.

510(k) Summary – S9 Cronulla for Her

Reason for submission

.

New Device

{1}------------------------------------------------

Indication for Use

The S9 Cronulla for Her self-adiusting system is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in female patients weighing more than 66 lb (30 kg).

The S9 Cronulla for Her self-adjusting system is intended for home and hospital use.

Substantial Equivalence

The new device has the following similarities to the previously cleared predicate devices.

t

  • . Similar intended use
  • . Same operating principle
  • Same technologies ●
  • . Same manufacturing process

The S9 Cronulla for Her retains all the same operating/technologies/manufacturing characteristics as the S8 Aspen (K091947). The S9 Cronulla for Her includes an additional treatment mode (software) called AutoSet for Her (AfH) which provides equivalent responses to apneas, snore and flattening breathing events for females in comparison to standard AutoSet mode. The S9 Cronulla for Her is indicated for a subset of the patient population when compared to the predicate S8 Aspen (K091947). Therefore this difference (subset) does not affect safety and effectiveness which remains unchanged from the predicate (K091947).

Design and Verification activities were performed on the S9 Cronulla for Her System as a result of the risk analysis and design requirements. All tests confirmed the product met the predetermined acceptance criteria. ResMed has determined that the new device has not altered the safety and effectiveness of CPAP treatment. The S9 Cronulla for Her complies with the applicable requirements referenced in the FDA guidance documents:

  • . FDA Draft Reviewer Guidance for Ventilators (July 1995)
  • . FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (May 11, 2005)
  • FDA Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff Design Considerations for Devices Intended . for Home Use

Clinical Testing:

A clinical trial demonstrated that the modified AutoSet algorithm performed as expected in treating female patients in a single-blind, randomised, cross-over non-inferiority study comparing the efficacy of the new AfH algorithm to the standard AutoSet algorithm (K091947).

The primary endpoints were met in the AfH clinical trial. The trial showed that the AfH algorithm effectively treated female OSA patients as reflected by the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) outcomes. Furthermore, investigation of sleep parameters showed that flow limitation was significantly decreased with the AfH algorithm compared to the standard AutoSet algorithm. Whilst no other statistically significant results were found in these parameters, there were the following improvements:

  • . REM sleep percentage
  • RERAs .

{2}------------------------------------------------

Subjective feedback also showed no significant differences between the AfH and standard AutoSet algorithms with all outcomes' median subjective ratings remaining "above average".

No adverse event or complications occurred as a result of the trial.

Non-Clinical Testing:

Verification activities were performed to verify that the software change to include an additional treatment mode ('AutoSet for Her') did not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

Side-by-Side bench testing was performed to verify that the S9 Cronulla for Her with H5i humidifier and heated tubing met the requirements of the S9 Cronulla System Specification, and compare the results to the predicate device (S8 Aspen with H4i Plus humidifier and heated tubinq (K091947)). This bench testing included testing the performance of each therapy mode which included:

  • . Pressure stability
  • . Response to apneas
  • . Response to flow limitations and snore.

A breathing machine was used to simulate patient breathing patterns resulting in the Flow Generator responding in a manner consistent with maintaining the CPAP treatment pressure (CPAP mode) or adjusting the CPAP pressure based upon the patient's condition in real-time (self-adjusting mode). The clinical Pass/Fail requirements are traced to the S9 Cronulla for Her System Specification and to the predicate device's performance. The S9 Cronulla for Her met the predefined Clinical Pass/Fail criteria.

The S9 Cronulla for Her with and without the integrated heated humidifier (H5i) was designed and tested according to:

  • . IEC 60601-1-2:2007, Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility -Requirements and tests ،
  • IEC 60601-1:2005, Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for safety . Medical electrical equipment - General requirements for basic safety and essential performance

Software regression testing was also conducted.
