Intended Use

Sleep CheckRx is indicated to record a patient's respiratory pattern during sleep for the purpose of pre-screening patients for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome.

The device is designed for use in home-screening of adults (≥ 22 years of age) with suspected possible sleep breathing disorders. Results can be used to assist the healthcare professional in determining the need for further diagnosis and evaluation.

The system is not intended as a substitute for full polysomnography when additional parameters such as sleep stages, limb movements, or EEG activity are required.

Device Description

SleepCheckRx is a software application used by healthcare providers to pre-screen adults at home for the risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The application is accessed via a compatible smartphone and uses the device's inbuilt microphone to record breathing and snore sounds while the user is asleep, over a minimum duration of 6 hours.

This audio recording, in conjunction with basic information about the user, is analyzed by locked machine learnt software algorithms to provide a risk assessment of the presence of OSA. Prior to use, the patient installs SleepCheckRx on a compatible smartphone and activates the application by entering a code issued to their Healthcare Professional (HCP) through a secure cloud server portal.

The patient enters basic information including date of birth, biological sex, height, weight, and neck circumference. The patient is also required to answer a STOP-Bang questionnaire. The phone is placed on a nightstand as directed, and when the user is ready to go to sleep, they initiate the software that begins a recording.

SleepCheckRx then captures breathing and snore sounds continuously throughout the night until the user stops the recording once they have awoken in the morning (a minimum of 6 hours of recording is required).

In the event of a successful recording, SleepCheckRx provides the user with a binary outcome of either 'Minimal to Mild Risk of OSA' (AHI<15) or 'Moderate to Severe Risk of OSA' (AHI ≥15).

SleepCheckRx requires a healthcare professional (HCP) to access a secure cloud server portal to provide the patient with an access code to use the app downloaded from the Apple App Store.

The results of the patient's recording and the STOP-Bang questionnaire are shared with the patient and the HCP, for the HCP to then determine if further investigation and evaluation is required.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (Binary Output: Minimal to Mild Risk of OSA (AHI<15) vs. Moderate to Severe Risk of OSA (AHI ≥15))Reported Device Performance (SleepCheckRx)
Sensitivity (for Moderate to Severe Risk of OSA, AHI ≥15)89.3% (109 out of 122 subjects)
Specificity (for Minimal to Mild Risk of OSA, AHI <15)77.6% (76 out of 98 subjects)

1. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: 228 adult analyzable subjects initially, with results reported for n=220.
  • Data Provenance: Prospective, multi-center study. The text does not explicitly state the country of origin, but the submitter is "ResApp Health" from "Brisbane, Queensland 4000 Australia," implying the study may have been conducted there or involved Australian sites.

2. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

  • Number of Experts: Two (2) independent PSG scorers.
  • Qualifications: "Qualified independent sleep scorer." The text does not provide specific details on their years of experience or precise certifications beyond "qualified."

3. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The text states "PSG diagnosis was established by independent scorers," and "Each sleep study was scored by a qualified independent sleep scorer." It then refers to "clinical diagnosis (using 2 independent PSG scorers)." This implies that both scorers independently scored the PSG studies. However, it doesn't explicitly state an adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) if their scores differed. It simply says the "agreement" between SleepCheckRx and "clinical diagnosis (using 2 independent PSG scorers)." It's possible that if there were discrepancies, they were resolved or averaged, but this is not detailed.

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

  • No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not reported. The study focused on the standalone performance of the SleepCheckRx algorithm against a gold standard (PSG). The text does not describe human readers using the AI and then comparing their performance to human readers without AI assistance.

5. Standalone Performance

  • Yes, a standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study was done. The results presented (sensitivity and specificity) are explicitly for the SleepCheckRx algorithm's performance when compared to PSG diagnosis.

6. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Expert Consensus / Objective Data: The ground truth was established by independent scoring of Polysomnography (PSG) by qualified sleep scorers, in accordance with the Type II (in-home) American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) 2017 Guidelines. PSG is considered the gold standard for diagnosing sleep apnea.

7. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The text does not explicitly state the sample size used for the training set. It mentions the "locked machine learnt software algorithms" and the clinical study on 228 subjects for performance evaluation, but the training data size is not provided.

8. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established

  • The text does not explicitly state how the ground truth for the training set was established. It only refers to the algorithm being "machine learnt." Given the nature of the device, it's highly probable that the training data's ground truth was also established using PSG, similar to the test set, but this is not detailed in the provided excerpt.

VII. NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

SleepCheckRx performance data included various verification and validation activities to demonstrate compliance with the applicable FDA guidance documents, including:

  • · Software verification and validation testing was performed in accordance with the applicable requirements outlined in the FDA quidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (2005).
  • · Cybersecurity verification and validation testing in accordance with the applicable requirements outlined in the FDA guidance Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices - Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff (2014).
  • · Device Compatibility testing was performed to ensure that compatible smartphones support equivalent performance.
  • An evaluation of performance of SleepCheckRx under conditions part of intended use environment (noise, distances, direction, etc.) to verify device effectiveness.
  • · Human Factors Engineering (HFE) / Usability evaluation was performed in accordance with the applicable requirements of FDA Guidance. Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices. Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff. February 3, 2016.

VIII. CLINICAL DATA

A prospective, multi-center, single-staged study on the SleepCheckRx algorithm was conducted on 228 adult analyzable subjects.

The clinical study used a binomial endpoint comparing the presence and severity of OSA, by using sleep sounds captured and analyzed by the SleepCheckRx algorithm and comparing them to a simultaneous PSG diagnosis (gold standard). PSG diagnosis was established by independent scorers, in accordance with the Type II (in-home) American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) 2017 Guidelines.

Sleep sound recordings were captured by the SleepCheckRx algorithm throughout the night (minimum of 6 hours) according to the overnight sleep study protocol. Sleep sounds were recorded by a compatible smartphone (loaded with the SleepCheckRx sound recording algorithm) placed on the nightstand, simultaneously with PSG. Each sleep study was scored by a qualified independent sleep scorer.

The mean age of all subjects was 50 years, with a higher percentage of males in the study (63%). The mean BMI was 29.8 and the mean neck circumference of 39.4.

Results of the study (n=220) demonstrated an agreement between SleepCheckRx and clinical diagnosis (using 2 independent PSG scorers) of 109 from 122 subjects (sensitivity 89.3%) with moderate to severe risk of OSA (AHI ≥15), and an agreement of 76 from 98 subjects (specificity 77.6%) with minimal to mild risk of OSA (AHI<15).

There were no adverse events or adverse device effects reported during the study.

IX. Substantial Equivalence discussion

SleepCheckRx has the same intended use as the predicate DROWZLE. Both software platforms are intended to record a patient's respiratory pattern during sleep for the purpose of prescreening patients for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome.

{9}------------------------------------------------

Both devices are designed for use in home-screening adults with suspected possible sleep breathing disorders. The results of both devices are used to assist the healthcare professional in determining the need for further diagnosis and evaluation.

Both devices report the risk of OSA based on a binary output, i.e., either minimal to mild risk of OSA (AHI<15), or moderate to severe risk of OSA (AHI ≥15).

SleepCheckRx is supported by clinical data demonstrating a sensitivity and specificity at the AHI ≥ 15 threshold of 89.3% and 77.6% respectively (n=220) when compared to clinical diagnosis. These results are comparable to the DROWZLE device which reported a sensitivity of 93.7% and specificity of 63% (AHI>15).

CONCLUSIONS X.

Based on the information provided in this submission, the SleepCheckRx is substantially equivalent to the predicate DROWZLE device.
