No
The description focuses on a physical sensor detecting position and does not mention any computational analysis or algorithms that would suggest AI/ML. The performance studies are based on direct signal comparison and accuracy in detecting position, not on learned patterns or predictions.
No.
The device is described as a sensor used to acquire the body position of patients during sleep studies, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are typically designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a sensor that acquires body position to aid in polysomnography studies, which is information gathering, not a determination of a medical condition or disease.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "sensor that attaches to either around chest or abdominal belts" and features a "fully encapsulated active element" and a "7ft long cable." This indicates a physical hardware component, not a software-only device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The Maxxi Position Sensor acquires the body position of a patient during sleep studies. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for acquiring body position, not for analyzing samples.
The device is a sensor that measures a physical parameter (body position) externally on the patient. This falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

5. Performance Testing in Simulated Use:
A comparative test in simulated use was performed in N=20 volunteers in a simulated use study between the subject device and predicates in order to compare the accuracy and latency to detect the patient's body position in a PSG system.
The results showed the average time to detect the patient body position was 1 second of latency difference between the devices and 100% of accuracy between them. This result demonstrated substantially equivalence between the subject device and the predicates.
Based on the substantial equivalence comparison, and nonclinical Conclusion: performance tests applied to the Maxxi Position Sensor and the predicates, we conclude that the devices have similar indications for use, technological characteristics and method of action, additionally the nonclinical performance testing demonstrate that the subject device is safe and effectively as well substantially equivalency to the predicates.
J) Clinical Testing:
No clinical trial was performed.
