Intended Use
The MATRx plus is indicated for use by a lay person in the home and hospital use under the direction of a Health Care Professional (HCP). MATRx plus records the following data: patient respiratory nasal airflow, snoring, blood oxygen saturation, pulse, respiratory effort and body position during sleep. MATRx plus uses these recordings to produce a report for the HCP that may aid in the diagnosis and assessment of sleep disordered breathing for adult patients. The MATRx plus device may also be used with an automated mandibular positioner that uses feedback control to record changes in the patient's respiratory status related to repositioning of the mandible during an overnight study. MATRx plus uses these recordings to produce a report for that can be used to prospectively identify patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea who may be suitable for therapy with an oral appliance and to recommend a target mandibular position. The use of the device does not replace the need for follow-up testing to determine the initial and ongoing effectiveness of the therapy as recommended by clinical practice guidelines.
Device Description
MATRx plus is a ventilatory effort recorder and closed loop auto-titration device for oral appliances. MATRx plus is a 5-channel battery-powered respiratory pressure sensor and oximetry system. MATRx plus provides recordings of respiratory pressure, snoring, respiratory effort, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, and body position during sleep. The device is worn on the patient's abdomen attached to a reusable effort belt and all relevant respiratory information during sleep is collected via nasal cannula, pulse oximetry module, and respiratory effort sensor. The disposable plastic nasal cannula is connected to the MATRx plus recorder and fixed at the patient's nose. The cannula is dual lumen and functions to individually sample the pressure from each naris. The oximetry sensor is fixed at the patient's finger and connects directly to the device. The Recorder receives input from the sensors and wirelessly transmits the data to a bedside Tablet during the study. The Tablet is set up through a connection to the web portal by the healthcare professional (HCP) prior to deploying the device to the patient for home use. The Tablet runs the MATRx plus application and records and stores the data. The MATRx plus application on the Tablet is also used to guide the user through the set up and conduct of the study through a stepwise user interface. At the end of a recording, the Tablet advises the patient if sufficient data for analysis were recorded during the night. During an auto-titration study, the patient wears temporary Titration Trays connected to a mandibular positioner. During the study, the device moves the mandible in response to respiratory events in order to determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for oral appliance therapy. After recording, the MATRx plus must be returned to the HCP. The data are automatically uploaded to the secure Portal where they can be accessed and downloaded to the Data Viewer. The Data Viewer can generate a report with the recorded and analyzed data (respiratory pressure, respiratory effort, pulse rate, oxygen saturation) to aid in diagnosis (when used as a ventilatory effort recorder) or to assist the HCP in the clinical management of oral appliance therapy for patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

No
The summary describes data recording, transmission, and report generation based on physiological signals. It mentions "feedback control" for the automated mandibular positioner, which is a standard engineering control mechanism and does not inherently imply AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, deep learning, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic and assessment tool for sleep-disordered breathing, including aiding in the diagnosis of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and identifying suitable candidates for oral appliance therapy, rather than providing direct therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "MATRx plus uses these recordings to produce a report for the HCP that may aid in the diagnosis and assessment of sleep disordered breathing for adult patients." This directly indicates its role as an aid in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a respiratory pressure sensor, oximetry system, effort belt, nasal cannula, pulse oximetry module, recorder, tablet, and a mandibular positioner. While software is involved in data collection, transmission, storage, and analysis, the device is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the MATRx plus device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The MATRx plus device records physiological data from the patient's body (airflow, snoring, oxygen saturation, pulse, effort, position) using external sensors and a nasal cannula. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The device's function is to record and analyze physiological signals. Its purpose is to monitor and assess sleep-disordered breathing and aid in the management of oral appliance therapy. This is a form of physiological monitoring and diagnostic aid, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, the MATRx plus device falls under the category of a medical device that collects and analyzes physiological data, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Reprocessing validation was completed on the new device hardware and new, simpler reprocessing instructions. Performance bench testing was completed to demonstrate that the subject device's mandibular positioner and oximeter meet the same performance criteria as those cleared in the predicate (cleared in DEN170090). All materials in contact with the mucosal membrane were assessed and tested in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and the associated FDA guidance, Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1 Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process" issued June 16, 2016. Specifically, the following tests were performed: ISO 10993-5: 2009, IOS 10993-10: 2010.
Clinical: Clinical performance testing was not required for the changes made to the subject device.
Conclusion: The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed MATRx plus predicate devices cleared under DEN170090 and K181996.

Technology:

The MATRx plus subject device is an updated version of the predicates cleared in DEN170090 and K181996. Minor changes have been made to device hardware to make the Recorder and mandibular positioner components slightly smaller and lighter, and to software to provide the healthcare professional with additional option for test set up and study workflow. The Titration Trays used during an auto-titration study can now be used for up to 6 nights and can be fit by a trained healthcare professional.

Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The MATRx plus subject device is substantially equivalent to the MATRx plus device (K181996 and DEN170090;), manufactured by Zephyr Sleep Technologies, Inc. The following tables provide a detailed comparison of the MATRx plus technological characteristics in comparison of the intended use for the predicates.
