The SomnaPatch™ is a single use physiologic recorder intended to collect and record data for use by clinical software used in polysomnography and sleep disorder studies by providing the information required for calculation of the apnea-hypopnea index. It is intended for adult use and can be used in a hospital, clinic, or patient home.
The SomnaPatch Home Sleep Test is a single-use disposable physiologic recorder used as an aid in the diagnosis of sleep related breathing disorders. The SomnaPatch device is affixed to the face of the user and is designed to continuously be worn overnight, up to approximately 10-hours. Once activated, the device records and stores patient data for the wear period. After the wear period, the device is returned to the healthcare professional, where the data is downloaded and processed by the SomnaPatch Data Processing Software. The processed data can be viewed by a healthcare professional and analyzed either manually or by third-party sleep data viewing and scoring software. The SomnaPatch device is not involved in the data management performed by the host or third-party data viewing or scoring software.
The forehead patch contains three sensors (Pressure Sensor, Accelerometer, and Optical SpO2), wherein their outputs' are recorded to a secure MicroSD card. The SomnaPatch Data Processing Software installed on a PC downloads the recorded data from the secure MicroSD card to derive 4 channels (nasal pressure, oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate, and head position) of data in EDF format.
Here's an analysis of the provided text to extract information about the SomnaPatch device's acceptance criteria and the study proving it, structured as requested:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for SomnaPatch
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Alice PDx) rather than explicitly stating pre-defined acceptance criteria with precise numerical targets for clinical accuracy. However, based on the clinical study summarized and the comparison section, we can infer the performance considered acceptable.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Clinical Study and Comparison) | Reported Device Performance (SomnaPatch) |
|---|---|
| AHI Accuracy (vs. Gold Standard PSG) | Mean difference in AHI: -0.7 events per hour (95% confidence interval -2.4 to 1.1 events/hour).The device "accurately estimates the AHI for values >=15 events/hour as compared with in-lab polysomnography (PSG)." |
| SpO2 Signal Accuracy | Performs within the standard accuracy range of ±4% for non-invasive pulse oximetry, "the same as compared to Alice PDx." |
| Sensor Performance (Optical SpO2, Accelerometer, Pressure) | Optical SpO2: Comparable performance to Nonin pulse oximeters (mentioned as predicate device's compatible oximeters) and agreed with expected pulse rate. Accelerometer: Performed comparably to the Alice PDx accelerometer, recording all motion as intended. Pressure Sensor: Detected hypopneas and apneas generated by ASL scripts comparably to Alice PDx pressure-based flow. |
| Biocompatibility | No potential for cytotoxicity, sensitization, or negligible irritation results. Acute systemic toxicity showed no evidence of mortality or toxicity. (Considered biocompatible per ISO 10993). |
| Safety (General, Electrical, EMC) | Complies with IEC 60601-1:2005/A1:2012, IEC 60601-1-2:2007, IEC 60601-1-6:2013, IEC 60601-1-11:2015, and ISO 80601-2-61: 2011. All product requirements met with passing test results. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size (Clinical Study for AHI accuracy): 178 participants
- Data Provenance (Clinical Study for AHI accuracy): Multi-center, open-label study (country of origin not explicitly stated, but submission is to US FDA, implying relevance to US market). The study involved a "within-subject comparison" against overnight polysomnography (PSG) in a laboratory setting. This indicates a prospective study design for data collection against the gold standard.
- Sample Size (Clinical Testing for SpO2 signal): Not explicitly stated, but refers to "arterial blood samples drawn under hypoxic conditions over the SaO2 range of 70-100%."
- Data Provenance (Clinical Testing for SpO2 signal): Partnered with University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Hypoxia Research Laboratory. This is likely a prospective clinical study.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
The document does not explicitly state the number or specific qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for scoring the AHI from the gold standard PSG, beyond referring to "in-lab polysomnography (PSG)" being the gold standard. For the SpO2 testing, the ground truth was "arterial blood samples," which is an objective physiological measure, not dependent on expert interpretation.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe the adjudication method for the test set regarding AHI scoring or any other clinical readouts. It mentions "in-lab polysomnography (PSG)" as the gold standard, implying that the AHI from PSG was considered definitive.
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
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance was not conducted or described. The clinical study focused on the device's standalone accuracy in estimating AHI compared to PSG, not on assisting human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was conducted. The clinical study described for AHI accuracy directly assessed the SomnaPatch device's ability to estimate AHI compared to the gold standard PSG. The SpO2 accuracy validation was also a standalone assessment against arterial blood samples. The device processes data via software to derive channels and calculate AHI, which is then viewed and analyzed by a healthcare professional. The core evaluation is the device's accuracy in producing this data, which is a standalone performance metric.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For AHI Accuracy: Overnight polysomnography (PSG) in a laboratory setting (clinical gold standard).
- For SpO2 Accuracy: Arterial blood samples (objective physiological measurement).
- For Sensor Performance (Pressure): Hypopneas and apneas generated using ASL scripts, then viewed in Sleepware G3. This appears to be a simulated, controlled environment ground truth rather than real patient data for this specific sensor comparison.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not specify a sample size for a training set. The device appears to be a physiological recorder that provides raw/processed data channels (like nasal pressure, SpO2) and then relies on clinical software or healthcare professionals to calculate AHI. There's no indication that the device itself uses a trainable algorithm in the sense of deep learning or machine learning that would require a distinct training set for its core function of recording and deriving these physiological channels.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Since no training set is mentioned in the context of a trainable algorithm (see point 8), this information is not applicable and therefore not provided in the document. The device's function is data collection and processing based on sensor readings.

Clinical Tests
A multi-center, open label study, within-subject comparison of 178 participants with a wide range of sleep-disordered breathing severity, as determined by a PSG-AHI range 0.1 to 147.7 events/hour, was conducted for the SomnaPatch device to evaluate the AHI accuracy as compared with the gold standard, overnight polysomnography (PSG) during laboratory recording. The mean difference in the AHI was -0.7 events per hour (95% confidence interval -2.4 to 1.1 events/hour). The results of this study demonstrate that the SomnaPatch device accurately estimates the AHI for values >=15 events/hour as compared with in-lab polysomnography (PSG).
In addition, Respironics partnered with a third-party study site, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Hypoxia Research Laboratory, to complete clinical testing to validate the SpO₂ signal of the SomnaPatch device. Our 510(k) submission (K183625) includes data to support the accuracy of the SomnaPatch SpO₂ signal against arterial blood samples drawn under hypoxic conditions over the SaO₂ range of 70-100%. The oximeter performs within the standard accuracy range of ±4% for non-invasive pulse oximetry, the same as compared to Alice PDx.
Performance Data- Non-Clinical Tests
Software verification and validation testing
Software verification and validation testing was performed on the SomnaPatch Firmware and SomnaPatch Data Processing Software based on the product requirements. Testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices", for Minor Software Level of Concern.
This testing included complete system level testing to verify all required functionality of the SomnaPatch device.
SomnaPatch Sensors
Comparative performance testing was conducted for all three SomnaPatch sensors (Optical SpO2, Accelerometer, and Pressure Sensor). Performance testing was completed on the SomnaPatch Optical SpO2 sensor and the Alice PDx compatible Nonin Transmittance and Reflective pulse oximeters. The testing of the sensors was conducted on a patient simulator specific to reflective pulse oximeter sensors. The output of the data from both the subject and predicate devices were compared. As a result, the performance of the SomnaPatch device was comparable to the Nonin pulse oximeters and was in agreeance with the expected pulse rate, as shown in the test report.
The Alice PDx accelerometer was compared to the SomnaPatch accelerometer to ensure both devices present comparable position data to the healthcare professional. The testing was conducted with the accelerometers lying on a flat surface changing position every 1-20 seconds. All motion from both accelerometers recorded as intended. The SomnaPatch accelerometer performed comparable to the Alice PDx accelerometer, as show in the full test report.
Lastly, performance testing was conducted to compare the data captured by the SomnaPatch device's pressure sensor to the data captured from the Alice PDx pressure-based flow output. Hypopneas, apneas, and nominal breaths were generated using ASL scripts. The SomnaPatch and Alice PDx recorded this data was then loaded into Sleepware G3 to view the hypopneas
{10}------------------------------------------------
and apneas. The percentage of reduction in waveform was calculated for both the hypopnea and the apnea based on the nominal breath. As a result, the SomnaPatch pressure sensor data and Alice PDx pressure-based flow were able to detect hypopneas and apneas generated by the ASL, as provided in the complete test report.
Based on the comparative performance analysis of the three sensors from the SomnaPatch device compared to the sensors of Alice PDx, all performed comparatively ensuring that the measured data from each sensor does not provide erroneous results and remains substantial equivalent.
Biocompatibility Testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the SomnaPatch device was conducted in accordance with FDA Guidance, "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices -Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process", and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process, as recognized by FDA. All device components were tested in their final, finished, form and were production equivalent. SomnaPatch makes limited duration (< 24 h) skin contact with the patient when used as intended, with the nasal cannula making limited duration mucosal membrane contact. Due to the classification of the SomnaPatch device a variety of biological endpoints were evaluated and the testing performed indicates that the production equivalent device showed no potential for cytotoxicity and sensitization and negligible irritation results. Acute systemic toxicity results revealed no evidence of mortality or toxicity. As a result, the SomnaPatch device is considered biocompatible and presents no foreseeable increased biological risk to the patient population it is intended for.
| Biological endpoint | ISO Standard |
|---|---|
| Cytotoxicity | 10993-5:2009 |
| Sensitization | 10993-10:2010 |
| Irritation | 10993-10:2010 |
| Systemic Toxicity (Acute) | 10993-11:2017 |
Risk Assessment
A Risk Assessment has been prepared for the SomnaPatch device in accordance with ISO 14971:2007, Medical Devices-Applications of Risk Management to Medical Devices. This Risk Assessment assess possible hazards associated with the use of this product relative to the intended patient population and use environment. It identifies hazards and control measure used to mitigate relevant hazards to reduce risk.
General Safety, Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
{11}------------------------------------------------
General Safety, Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the SomnaPatch device. The system complies with the following standards:
- IEC 60601-1:2005/A1:2012
- IEC 60601-1-2:2007
- . IEC 60601-1-6:2013
- IEC 60601-1-11:2015
- . ISO 80601-2-61: 2011
The testing of the SomnaPatch device verified that all product requirements have been met with passing test results. The verification and validation testing demonstrated comparable safety and effectiveness of SomnaPatch to the predicates.
Substantial Equivalence
This premarket notification submission demonstrates that the SomnaPatch Home Sleep Test is substantially equivalent to the Respironics Alice PDx (K090484) device. The functionality of the design of the device was verified through a clinical trial and verification testing. Based on the comparative performance analysis of the three sensors (Optical SpO2, Pressure, and Accelerometer) from the SomnaPatch device compared to the sensors of Alice PDx, all performed comparatively ensuring that the measured data from each sensor does not provide erroneous results and remains substantial equivalent. The clinical study was undertaken to determine the level of agreement between the SomnaPatch-AHI and the PSG-AHI. As a result, the SomnaPatch provides the information required to generate the AHI for evaluation of moderate to severe sleep-disordered breathing. No new concerns of safety and effectiveness have been raised. It is therefore concluded that the SomnaPatch Home Sleep Test is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Respironics Alice PDx (K090484).
