The device description and performance studies focus on basic signal acquisition and electrical safety, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for signal processing or interpretation.
No.
The device is described as an accessory for sleep/polysomnography (PSG) systems, intended for measuring respiratory effort signals, not for treating a condition.
No.
The device measures respiratory effort signals which are then processed by a PSG device. While the PSG device itself is used for diagnosis of sleep disorders, the Maxxi RIP Sensor is an accessory that captures data, not one that interprets or diagnoses.
No
The device description explicitly states it is composed of 3 major parts: the interface box, the cable, and the belt. These are physical hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Maxxi RIP Sensor measures respiratory effort by detecting changes in tension from a belt placed around the patient's body. This is a non-invasive measurement of a physiological signal.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to measure respiratory effort signals as accessories for sleep/polysomnography (PSG) systems. This is for monitoring and diagnosis related to sleep disorders, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
The device is a medical device used for physiological monitoring, but it does not fit the definition of an in vitro diagnostic.

Device Description
Maxxi Rip Sensor is a device intended to capture respiratory effort from a patient and output the signal to a PSG device for sleep studies. This signal is captured using an elastic belt fastened around the thorax or abdomen that will exhibit a change in tension as the thorax or abdomen expands or contracts. This change in tension is measured and converted to a signal output by the interface and processed by a PSG device.
The product is composed of 3 major parts, the interface box, the cable and the belt.
Cables are used to connect between the respiratory effort sensor (RIP belts) and the applicable sleep recorder/polysomnography (PSG) system.
The device is offered in different sizes to be used on adult patients.
The Maxxi Rip was validated with Neurovirtual BWMini PSG device recorder only, therefore we don't quarantee compatibility with other devices.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
1. Safety and Effectiveness Testing
The Maxxi Rip was submitted to standard IEC 60601-1 test which resulted in full compliance as reported in the test reports.
2. EMC Testing
The Maxxi Rip was submitted to electromagnetic compatibility test, standard IEC 60601-1-2 which resulted in full compliance as reported in the test reports.
3. Risk Analysis
The Maxxi Rip was developed according to the ISO14971 for appropriate actions related to risks found during the development to reach appropriate performance, safety and substantially equivalence with the predicate.
4. Signal Quality and Comparison Testing:
Signal integrity tests were conducted for the Maxxi Rip Sensor with focus on signal to noise ratio, signal range, bandwidth and linearity and the test results compared to the signal integrity test conducted for the predicate NOX-RIP.
5. Performance Testing:
The performance test is executed for certain % amount of the products manufactured. This phase is necessary to identify possible flaws with the product and manufacturing process mistakes.
- Belt Signal Verification: Verify the signal output stretching and releasing the inductive belt in order to get a sine wave form in the output.
- Acceptance Criteria: The signal must have a clean sine wave form following the belts stimulation. Devices with showing the signal output with interreferences will be rejected.

- Acceptance Criteria: All damage types are not allowed, products with scratches, wire ruptures, wrong labeling, oxidation, packing flaws or connector issues will be rejected and not put to sales.
- Cable Dimensions: Verify if the cable length is within the acceptable range.
- Acceptance Criteria: Cable A: 250mm; Cable B: 2000mm; Allowance: +-5%
- Cable Connectivity: Using a multimeter in continuity scale, check if the cable has connectivity.
- Acceptance Criteria: Not allowed false contact, or no connectivity.
