Snoring	Positive Percent Agreement (PPA)	82.0%	78.3%	84.7%
	False Detection Rate Per Hour	21.6	18.3	26.0

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

Sample Size: 56 diagnostic PSG sleep studies were collected. Data from 54 subjects were evaluated for respiratory, limb movement, and snore events.
- Total Number of Subjects: 54 per event evaluated
- Total Number of scored Epochs (30 Sec): > 49,704
- Total Number of Hours: > 411.99
- Mean number of epochs per subject: > 920.4
- Minimum number of epochs per subject: 711
- Maximum Number of epochs per subject: 1,147
Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin. It indicates that "All patients involved in this study were adult patients (>18 years old) with a clinical indication for a sleep study." The studies were collected for diagnostic purposes and then de-identified. It appears to be a retrospective collection of diagnostic PSG sleep studies.

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

Number of Experts: Three (3) experienced and certified PSG specialists.
Qualifications of Experts: Included one board-certified sleep specialist, along with other experienced and certified PSG specialists.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Adjudication Method: "Majority rule," defined as "at least two out of three expert scorings (medical professionals certified on PSG recording and analysis) agree on the presence of an event within an epoch."

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

The document describes a study comparing the Sandman assisted-scoring modules to a "Reference standard" established by expert manual markings. This is a standalone performance study of the algorithm against expert consensus, not a comparative effectiveness study of human readers with vs. without AI assistance. Therefore, no effect size of human readers improving with AI vs without AI assistance is reported.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The study evaluated the Sandman assisted-scoring modules (algorithm only) against the ground truth established by expert consensus. The reported PPA and False Detection Rate per Hour reflect the algorithm's performance.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

Expert Consensus: The "Reference standard" was defined using the majority rule of three experienced and certified PSG specialists.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information regarding the sample size used for the training set. It only details the clinical validation study for the assisted-scoring modules. The phrasing "Sandman assisted-scoring modules at default values" suggests these modules were pre-trained or configured, but no details on training data are given.

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

As the document does not provide information on the training set, it does not describe how the ground truth for the training set was established.

2. Main Applications

The Sandman Elite application collects and digitizes the electrical voltages of patient physiological signals. After collecting and saving the signals, it provides tools and modules to analyze the signals, which aid in the interpretation of a sleep study. The software consists of four main applications:

{4}------------------------------------------------

Collection Real time collection of EEG and other physiological ● parameters.
. Analysis - Real time analysis of data to identify events which may require special attention from qualified medical professional in attendance.
Data Management - Allows the user to copy, move, back up, and delete collected patient files
. Configuration - Allows the user to change configuration settings such as your site information, the media used for file storage and to create and manage user preferences.

The Sandman Elite application also includes a separate independent Report Builder module. The Report Builder is a tool developed to assist the user in creating a customized report. All data are stored either locally or on a remote hard disk (network server). Provisions exist for archiving to several appropriate types of digital media, most frequently CD ROM.

3. Typical work flow using the Sandman Elite Application software

During the Collection phase, the software collects data based on user selected sampling rates, amplifier set-up, and amplifier calibrations. These three factors define how the software collects and displays the data in real-time. The recording is saved on the hard disk of the user's computer in a raw data format. The user can customize displays, observations, event markers, and tags.

4. Computer-assisted scoring modules

The Sandman Elite application software contains a number of computerassisted scoring modules. All computer assisted-scoring modules are provided to assist trained medical practitioners in the review and analysis of vast amounts of polysomnography data. The computer assisted-scoring modules are for analysis of adult patient data only. Each computer-assisted scoring module runs a specific type of event scoring on the patient file. The scoring rule parameters used in the computer-assisted scoring modules depend on the montage type associated with the study.

The ten computer-assisted scoring modules are:

· Respiratory module
· Desaturation module

Clinical Study Summary - Respiratory, Limb Movement and Snore Event Assistedscoring Modules

1.1. Participants

Fifty-six (56) diagnostic PSG sleep studies were collected (one study per patient). All patients involved in this study were adult patients (>18 years old) with a clinical indication for a sleep study. The patient data were de-identified and applied as subject data to this study.

1.2. Dataset description

Total Number of Subjects: 54 per event evaluated Total Number of scored Epochs (30 Sec): > 49,704 Total Number of Hours: > 411.99 Mean number of epochs per subject: > 920.4 Minimum number of epochs per subject: 711 Maximum Number of epochs per subject: 1,147

Data from 54 subjects were evaluated for respiratory, limb movement and snore events. All epochs from these subjects were scored.

1.3. Obiective of the study

The goal of the validation study reported here is to establish that Sandman performance is equivalent to the performance of the predicate device. For the purpose of this study "Reference standard" is defined using maiority rule, that is, at least two out of three expert scorings (medical professionals certified on PSG recording and analysis) agree on the presence of an event within an epoch.

1.4. PSG acquisition protocol

For this study, the following signals were recorded from each subject:

Six (6) Electroencephalogram ([EEG] channels: F3, F4, C3, C4, O1, and O2. ●
Two (2) Electrooculogram (EOG) channels ●
Submental and bilateral tibial electromyogram (EMG) ●
Electrocardiogram (ECG) ●

1.5. PSG analysis protocol

All physiologic data were collected and stored on a Sandman System. The ECG, EEG, EMG. EOG and Snoring channels were sampled at 200 Hz. The Airflow and Chest. abdominal movement channels were sampled at 25 Hz. The Pulse oximetry channel was sampled at 10 Hz. The Body Position channel was sampled at 1 Hz.

The raw PSG recordings were de-identified, randomized and provided to three experienced and certified PSG specialists, including one board certified sleep specialist, who independently marked events of interest in each epoch, applying the following criteria:

Apnea is scored when both of the following criteria are met:
- There is a drop in the peak signal excursion by > 90% of pre-event baseline a. respiratory nasal pressure or flow sensor signal.
- b. The duration of the > 90% drop in sensor signal is > 10 seconds.
- . The apnea is Obstructive if it meets apnea criteria and is associated with continued or increased inspiratory effort throughout the entire period of absent airflow.
- The apnea is Central if it meets apnea criteria and is associated with absent inspiratory effort throughout the entire period of absent airflow.
- . The apnea is Mixed if it meets apnea criteria and is associated with absent inspiratory effort in the initial portion of the event followed by resumption of inspiratory effort in the second portion of the event.
Hypopnea is scored if all of the following criteria are met: .
- The peak signal excursions drop by ≥ 30% of pre-event baseline using a. nasal pressure. PAP device flow or alternative hypopnea sensor.
- b. The duration of the > 30% drop in signal excursion is > 10 seconds.
- There is a > 3% oxygen desaturation from pre-event baseline or the event C. is associated with an arousal.
Limb movement is scored if the following significant leg movement (LM) events . are indicated:
- a. The minimum duration of a LM event is 0.5 seconds.
- b. The maximum duration of a LM event is 10 seconds.
- The minimum amplitude of a LM event is an 8 µV increase in EMG voltage C. above resting EMG.
. Snore: The scoring of snore events relies on clinical interpretation.

Separate from the expert review, all PSG studies were also analyzed by Sandman assisted-scoring modules at default values for:

Central apnea
Obstructive apnea ●
. Hypopnea

1.7. Clinical Study Conclusion

Compared to the Reference standard, Sandman assisted-scoring modules showed performance levels comparable to the manual markings of expert reviewers. The device performance is clinically equivalent to the Reference standard (majority rule) as constructed for this study, similar to results reported in the literature and to performance reported for other commercially available devices.

510(k) Summary Conclusions:

The substantial equivalence of the Sandman Elite with the predicate Natus SleepWorks product was demonstrated by software verification testing and clinical validation. The non-clinical data support the safety of the device. The software verification and validation demonstrate that Sandman Elite device should perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The clinical validation of the computer-assisted scoring modules demonstrates that the Sandman Elite device performs comparably to the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
