Intended Use
The Belun Sleep System BLS-100 is a wearable device intended to record, analyze, display, export, and store biophysical parameters to aid in evaluating moderate to severe sleep-related breathing disorders suspected of sleep apnea. The device is intended for use in clinical and home settings under the direction of a Healthcare Professional (HCP).
Device Description
The Belun Sleep System BLS-100 comprises a sensor that is worn on the proximal phalanx of index finger (Belun Ring) over-night whilst the subject is sleeping and a stand-alone analysis software (Belun Sleep AI). The Belun Ring has a small biocompatible enclosure. The sensor has 2 LEDs, one in the red spectrum and the other in the infrared spectrum, and an accelerometer. The sensor is placed on the proximal phalanx of the index finger, with the sensor window applied against the palmar side of the proximal phalanx of the index finger. The sensor measures the reflected red/infrared signals to record the photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal. The accelerometer is used to detect movement. The data recorded by the Belun Ring is stored in device on-board memory. The data is exported when the Belun Ring is returned to the prescribing HCP via USB or Bluetooth and passed to the Belun Sleep AI Software, which is standalone PC software. The Belun Sleep Al loads and processes the signal from the exported data and generates the apnea-hypopnea index (bAHI) and sleep staging identification (bSTAGES).
More Information

Yes
The device description and performance study summary explicitly mention "deep-learning algorithms" and "Belun Sleep AI Software" used for calculating the apnea-hypopnea index and sleep staging.

No.
The device is intended to record, analyze, display, export, and store biophysical parameters to aid in evaluating sleep-related breathing disorders, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The intended use explicitly states the device is "intended to record, analyze, display, export, and store biophysical parameters to aid in evaluating moderate to severe sleep-related breathing disorders suspected of sleep apnea." This purpose of evaluating a disorder signifies a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system comprises a "Belun Ring" which is a wearable sensor with hardware components (LEDs, accelerometer, on-board memory) that collects data. While there is standalone analysis software, the system includes a physical hardware component essential for its function.

Based on the provided information, the Belun Sleep System BLS-100 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Belun Sleep System Function: The Belun Sleep System BLS-100 is a wearable device that records biophysical parameters (PPG signal and movement) directly from the patient's finger. It analyzes this data to aid in evaluating sleep-related breathing disorders. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Belun Sleep System BLS-100 falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

No
The provided text does not contain any explicit statement that the FDA has reviewed, approved, or cleared a PCCP for this specific device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description

The Belun Sleep System BLS-100 is prescribed by a Health Care Professional (HCP) for the patient to use in the home as a 'home sleep apnea test' (HSAT).

The Belun Sleep System BLS-100 comprises a sensor that is worn on the proximal phalanx of index finger (Belun Ring) over-night whilst the subject is sleeping and a stand-alone analysis software (Belun Sleep AI).

The Belun Ring has a small biocompatible enclosure. The sensor has 2 LEDs, one in the red spectrum and the other in the infrared spectrum, and an accelerometer. The sensor is placed on the proximal phalanx of the index finger, with the sensor window applied against the palmar side of the proximal phalanx of the index finger.
The sensor measures the reflected red/infrared signals to record the photoplethysmograph (PPG) signal. The accelerometer is used to detect movement.

The data recorded by the Belun Ring is stored in device on-board memory. The data is exported when the Belun Ring is returned to the prescribing HCP via USB or Bluetooth and passed to the Belun Sleep AI Software, which is standalone PC software. The Belun Sleep Al loads and processes the signal from the exported data and generates the apnea-hypopnea index (bAHI) and sleep staging identification (bSTAGES).

Signals from the Belun Ring device include the following:

  • . Oxygen saturation
  • Beat-to-beat pulse period
  • Photoplethysmography
  • . Actigraphy

Mentions AI, DNN, or ML

The Belun Sleep Al loads and processes the signal from the exported data and generates the apnea-hypopnea index (bAHI) and sleep staging identification (bSTAGES).
The clinical evaluation has confirmed that the Belun Sleep System deep-learning algorithms calculating the Belun Apnea Hypopnea Index (bAHI) and Belun Sleep Stage (bSTAGES) generate comparable output to human manual scoring of an Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) from Polysomnography (PSG) studies, using American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) scoring guidelines for adult patients, with accuracy, sensitivity and specificity similar to the predicate and reference devices.
The proposed system and the predicate use the similar sensors: optical plethysmography sensor and accelerometer. The differences between predicate are that the proposed device feeds PPG whose envelop is similar to the information provided by PAT to its AI algorithms.

Clinical Study: Comparison to PSG sleep lab results: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and sleep staging (wake, Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM)) of the Belun Sleep System BLS-100 compared with overnight polysomnography (PSG) study according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) guidelines in a sleep laboratory with 106 patients suspected of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). All sleep studies were manually scored based on the AASM scoring manual (version 2.4) by a senior sleep tech scorer and reviewed by a board-certified sleep physician. All investigators, sleep lab team, and scorers were blinded to the results until statistical analysis was performed.

The Belun Ring BLR-100X has been validated for low perfusion saturation and pulse rate in K211407. There are no changes in those features or algorithms for clearance of this device to be used as a home sleep apnea test (HSAT).

Clinical Study

The Clinical Test consists of 2 parts:

  • (1) SpO2 accuracy: This testing was performed in K211407 and leveraged for this submission.
  • (2) Comparison to PSG sleep lab results: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and sleep staging (wake, Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM)) of the Belun Sleep System BLS-100 compared with overnight polysomnography (PSG) study according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) guidelines in a sleep laboratory with 106 patients suspected of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). All sleep studies were manually scored based on the AASM scoring manual (version 2.4) by a senior sleep tech scorer and reviewed by a board-certified sleep physician. All investigators, sleep lab team, and scorers were blinded to the results until statistical analysis was performed. The accuracy, sensitivity and specificity at AHI cutoff 15 and 30 are summarized in the table below.
