Modius Sleep is a non-invasive, home-use neurostimulation device to treat chronic insomnia in adults aged 22 and older.
Modius Sleep is a low-risk non-invasive transdermal neurostimulation device to treat chronic insomnia. The proposed mechanism of the device is through a technology known as electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS).
It consists of a battery-powered device designed to transcutaneously deliver low-level electrical energy (up to 1mA) to the skin behind the ears, over the mastoid processes. The delivery of this neurostimulation is through two self-adhesive electrode pads. These pads are placed on the skin behind each ear (mastoid area). The intensity of the electric pulse can be adjusted up or down by the user. When turned on, the device delivers a small electrical impulse which stimulates the vestibular nerve. Adjustments to the stimulation level may be made using the up and down buttons on the device, which are located just above the power button. The device can also be paused by pressing the power button twice. When finished the user removes the device and disposes of the electrode pads after each use. When the device is not being used it can be charged through a micro-USB cable. For safety reasons, it is not possible to recharge the battery while the device is in use in stimulation mode.
The key components of the Modius Sleep include the Modius Sleep device (plastic enclosure and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), stimulation pads (K210448 and K132588), skin cleansing wipes (K121655) and charging accessories. The PCBA consists of a microcontroller, USB connector (charging only), transformer driver, IO expander and EEPROM memory. The embedded software within the device manages overall functionality of the device from Stimulation Control, Power Management, and user interaction (Indication LED and Audio tones).
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Modius Sleep device. It details a clinical study to demonstrate the device's safety and effectiveness for treating chronic insomnia. Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for performance in a table format. However, it defines the primary effectiveness endpoint as a "change in the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score at Week 0 and Week 4 between the Modius Sleep group and sham control group." The study then reports the mean change and statistical significance. The implicit acceptance criterion is a statistically significant greater reduction in ISI score for the Modius Sleep group compared to the sham control.
| Metric (Implicit Acceptance Criteria) | Modius Sleep Group (Mean ISI Change from Baseline to Week 4) | Sham Control Group (Mean ISI Change from Baseline to Week 4) | Between-Group Difference (95% CI); P-value (Model 1) | Performance Met? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISI Score Reduction (Statistically Significant Improvement vs. Sham) | -5.80 (Complete Case Analysis) | -3.52 (Complete Case Analysis) | -2.28 (-3.85, -0.71); 0.005 | Yes |
Note: The table uses data from the "Complete case" analysis as it represents those who adhered to the intervention and showed a statistically significant difference in Model 1. Other models and ITT analyses are also provided in the document.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Test Set (Participants with available data for analysis): 126 participants (61 in Modius Sleep group, 65 in Sham control group for complete case analysis). A total of 149 participants were enrolled and randomized (75 Modius Sleep, 74 Sham control).
- Data Provenance:
- Country of Origin: United Kingdom (UK) and Hong Kong (HK). The UK site also included remote recruitment from the Republic of Ireland (ROI).
- Retrospective or Prospective: Prospective. The study was a "4-week pivotal randomized controlled trial."
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document does not mention the use of experts to establish a "ground truth" for the test set in the traditional sense (e.g., radiologists interpreting images). Instead, the "ground truth" for insomnia diagnosis and severity (ISI scores) was established via self-reported patient outcomes and an online survey based on clinical diagnostic criteria (AASM ICSD and DSM-V) prior to enrollment. There is no information provided about the number or specific qualifications of experts involved in the initial diagnosis or ISI score evaluation for the study participants, beyond the general statement that "further information was collected by an online survey to establish that the participants had chronic insomnia at the time of enrolment as defined by ICSD and DSM-V."
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. This was a clinical trial evaluating a treatment device based on self-reported patient outcomes (ISI scores), not an AI device requiring reader adjudication of findings.
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
Not applicable. This study evaluated a medical device for treatment of insomnia in a direct patient-use scenario, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This was a clinical trial of a medical device used by patients, not an algorithm. Therefore, "standalone (algorithm only)" performance is not applicable. The device's performance is inherently tied to human interaction (patient use).
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for effectiveness was outcomes data based on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores, which are a validated patient-reported outcome measure for insomnia. The initial diagnosis of chronic insomnia for inclusion criteria was based on patient self-reporting via an online survey aligned with AASM (American Academy of Sleep Medicine) International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD) and The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) criteria.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This clinical study evaluated the device's performance in a randomized controlled trial. There is no mention of a "training set" in the context of an algorithm or AI development.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there was no training set in the context of an algorithm.

510(k) Summary
CES devices collectively demonstrate a class effect of CES for treating anxiety and/or insomnia. However, it cannot be concluded, based on available information alone, that specific CES devices or stimulation parameters are effective for treating anxiety and/or insomnia. As such, individuals using this device should work with the prescribing medical provider to determine the best treatment settings to use. As such, please see below for a general summary of pertinent clinical literature that has been published using various combinations of CES devices, stimulation settings, and electrode positions.
General CES Summary (January 1, 1970 to November 8, 2022)
As of November 2022, there were a total of 23 studies that evaluated the effectiveness of CES on insomnia. Of the 11 randomized control trials (RCT), some reported greater reduction in insomnia symptoms in the CES group compared to placebo12345, while others reported no significant differences in measures of insomnia symptoms between the 2 groups®73,9;10;11 .Among the 8 observational studies, CES treatment was associated with less frequent12 and less intense13 sleep disturbances, improved soundness of sleep14, less difficulty falling asleep14;15;16 and feeling more rested15 or improved mood14 in the morning. Several observational studies reported no impact of CES on insomnia1718 or reported an effect that did not persist after the first week19. A meta-analysis of 14 RCTs indicated that CES versus sham treatment had no impact on insomnia20. Lastly, 3 reviews evaluated the effectiveness of CES on insomnia. One review found 23 studies, 6 of which were RCTs of which only 2 studied participants with insomnia21. Of these two RCTs, only 1 showed improved patient-reported sleep latency and objective changes in sleep, while the other did not show any change21. The other 2 reviews concluded that studies evaluating the effectiveness of CES on insomnia were inconclusive22 or inconsistent²3. In studies that reported improvement in insomnia with use of CES, the reported stimulation parameters, electrode placement, and treatment schedule varied widely and were only evaluated in a small number of combinations.
Please note that not all combinations of parameters provided below have been studied for safety and effectiveness; therefore, individuals using this device should work with the prescribing medical provider to determine the best treatment settings to use and should not apply electrodes to locations that are not indicated in the specific product's labeling.

Clinical Testing of Modius Sleep
Clinical testing of Modius Sleep included a pivotal randomized, double blind sham controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Modius Sleep Electrical Vestibular Stimulation (VeNS) device, for the treatment of chronic insomnia.
Study design
A 4-week pivotal randomized controlled trial with two groups 1) Modius Sleep device group and 2) Sham (placebo) control group was used to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Modius Sleep device as a treatment for chronic insomnia.
The study was a multi-site, randomised, double blinded, sham-controlled trial conducted from May 2022 to January 2023. The study has been registered at https://clinicaltrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04452981). Research sites included University of Ulster, United Kingdom (UK), and Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong (HK). The study protocol was approved at the UK site by Wales Research Ethics Committee 7 (Ref: 22/WA/0022) and at the HK site by the Human Subjects Ethics Sub-Committee, Hong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Kong Polytechnic University (Ref: HSEARS20220320001). Informed consent was obtained from all participants.
Adults with an Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score of 15 or higher were recruited using online platforms and randomly allocation ratio) to receive the Modius Sleep device (intervention group) or the sham device (active control group). Both groups were advised to use their allocated devices for 30 minutes per day prior to going to sleep for a four-week duration. The devices are identical in appearance and therefore neither the participant nor the clinical study team knew whether the Modius Sleep device or sham device was allocated. Primary and secondary outcomes were captured at baseline and at 4 weeks.

510(k) Summary
126 participants (aged 19-67 years) with moderate to severe insomnia assessed by the insomnia severity index (ISI) were enrolled. While the ISI is a useful screening tool for insomnia, it does not cover all components of The AASM (American Academy of Sleep Medicine) International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD), and The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) that are used for diagnosis of chronic insomnia. For this reason, further information was collected by an online survey to establish that the participants had chronic insomnia at the time of enrolment as defined by ICSD and DSM-V. Specifically, information was collected regarding the duration and frequency of their sleep disturbance and associated daytime symptoms, confirmation of adequate opportunity and conditions to sleep, and confirmation of no other co-existing conditions. This further information provided confirmation that the participants had Chronic Insomnia at the time of enrolment in the Modius Sleep trial.
For the duration of the study, participants agreed not to take prescribed or over the counter sleeping medication; not to undergo any extreme lifestyle changes that could have impacted their sleep quality; not to use sleep trackers; not to travel to different time zones and to maintain a familiar sleeping routine.
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint
The efficacy of the Modius Sleep device was quantified by change in the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) score24 at Week 0 and Week 4 between the Modius Sleep group and sham control group.
Primary Safety Endpoint
An evaluation of the safety of the Modius Sleep device was quantified by the occurrence in adverse events between the Modius Sleep group and sham control group.
Results
A total of 149 eligible participants were recruited and randomised to the Modius Sleep group (n=75) or the sham control group (n=74). Twenty-three participants withdrew from the study

Outcomes
The effect of the Modius Sleep device on change in ISI score from baseline to the 4-week visit is shown in Table 7 above. The results show that the Modius Sleep group had a greater and statistically significant reduction in ISI score compared with the sham control group.
AE reports were minor and all self- resolving including, headaches, nystagmus (eye movements), low mood, and mild tinnitus. Rate of AE reporting was 12% (9 participants out of 75) in the Modius Sleep group vs 8% (6 participants out of 74) in the Sham group. There were no device related SAE's reported during the study. One non-device related SAE was reported during the study. Further information below.
Effectiveness
The effect of the Modius Sleep device on change in ISI score from baseline to the 4-week visit is shown in Table 7. The ITT (MI and LOCF) and complete case analyses both demonstrated that both randomization groups reduced their ISI scores; however, the Modius Sleep group had a significantly greater reduction in ISI score (model 1). When site and treatment groupby-site interaction were added as covariates (model 2), the greater reduction in ISI score observed in the Modius Sleep group remained significant for the LOCF ITT and complete case analyses and approached statistical significance for the MI ITT analysis. Model 3 included the covariates from model 2 and demographic variables including age, sex, and race. The greater reduction in ISI score observed in the Modius Sleep group remained statistically significant for the complete case analysis and approached statistical significance for both ITT (MI and LOCF) analyses.
Discussion (Effectiveness)
To determine if the treatment effect found in model 1 was homogeneous across the research sites (HK and UK), model 2 additionally included the variables site and treatment-by-site interaction. The statistically significant treatment effect remained for the LOCF ITT and complete case approaches as described above. Furthermore, the treatment-by-site interaction was not significant in the ITT (MI & LOCF) or complete case models, which indicates that the treatment effects can be combined across the sites to create an overall estimate of treatment effect. The treatment effect, however, did not remain significant for the MI ITT approach. This
{26}------------------------------------------------
Version: 01

510(k) Summary
approach accounts for uncertainty and is less bias than the single imputation method (LOCF); however, it provides the most conservate estimate of treatment effect.
To investigate consistency of the treatment effect across subgroups, model 3 included the covariates sex (Male vs Female), continuous age, and race (White vs Asian vs Mixed). Results showed that the covariates added in the model were not significant in the ITT (MI or LOCF) or complete case models which indicates the treatment effect is consistent across these subgroups. As mentioned above, the statistically significant treatment effect remained for the complete case analysis and only approached statistical significance for both ITT (MI and LOCF) analyses. An ITT analysis includes all the participants who were randomized and analysed according to the treatment group they were assigned. The benefit of this type of analysis is that it produces unbiased estimates of treatment effects, provides the greatest generalisability, and preserves the sample size. The treatment effects, however, are usually conservative because it includes people who have withdrawn from the study and those who did not comply with treatment. The complete case analysis includes participants who completed the study and had data collected at baseline and at the 4 week follow up visit. This type of analysis provides information on how the treatment (Modius Sleep) performs in an ideal situation, i.e., includes only people who adhered to the intervention. The addition of the covariates in model 3 may have also reduced the power to detect a significant treatment effect in the ITT analyses.
Safety
A total of 22 Adverse Events were reported during the 4-week study (16 reported by the Modius Sleep group vs. 6 reported by the sham control group), these included headaches and nausea, which are known side effects of cranial electrical stimulation. One finding of a Serious Adverse Event (minor cerebrovascular accident) was reported during follow up with a participant who had been previously withdrawn. Assessment of the participant by the hospitalbased medical team reported previously undiagnosed hypertension (high blood pressure) which is believed to have been the cause of this event, and therefore this was not classified as a device related SAE. The patient's hypertension was subsequently treated with no further events reported.

The adverse events were all minor, caused a minimal discomfort to participants, and all selfresolved during the period of the study. Clinical and research studies report the possibility of mild adverse effects including skin irritation, discomfort from the stimulation, sensation of feeling off-balance, dizziness, nystagmus (eye movements), blurred or flashing vision, headache, nausea, and tinnitus.

510(k) Summary
The risk of these adverse effects occurring is usually mitigated by reducing or stopping the stimulation. If a user does experience these adverse effects, they should stop stimulation by turning off or removing the device.
The following warnings have been included in the labelling:
- . To mitigate the risk of dizziness, the device must be worn when seated, and start stimulation at a low level and increase gradually to the highest comfortable level. If you do experience dizziness, stop stimulation by turning off or removing the device. If dizziness persists, please consult your physician.
- . To mitigate the risk of headaches, the device must be worn when seated, and start stimulation at a low level and increase gradually to the highest comfortable level. If you do experience a headache, stop stimulation by turning off or removing the device. If the headache persists, please consult your physician.
- . The Modius Sleep device should only be used as prescribed by a trained physician.
Generalizability of study data
The Modius Sleep trial consisted of two clinical sites, with one based in the United Kingdom (UK) and the other in Hong Kong (HK). It should be noted that the UK site received ethical approval to recruit remotely, and additionally this extended to include remote recruitment across The Republic of Ireland (ROI). Therefore, three populations were included in the Modius Sleep study, with two of these populations being recruited nationwide (as opposed to the close proximity of the clinical site).
UK and HK participants met the same definition of insomnia and had the same ISI inclusion criteria of 15 or greater. The baseline ISI scores reported for the Modius Sleep study are in

{29}------------------------------------------------

510(k) Summary
line with literature, and comparable across the two sites (HK 19.11 and UK 18.82). An Insomnia study involving Hong Kong participants, that utilized the ISI to measure sleep improvement, has reported comparable baseline ISI scores to the US. Yin et al.25 conducted a randomised controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture treatment for primary insomnia. The study enrolled patients from Shanghai Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the primary outcome was change in ISI score, and the intention to treat population demonstrated a baseline ISI score of 17. Ong et al.20, evaluated the efficacy of mindfulness meditation for the treatment of chronic insomnia recruiting patient from Rush University, US. The average baseline ISI score for the three treatment groups was 16.8. Another trial evaluating mindfulness in Los Angeles reported an average baseline ISI score of 17.8.27
Furthermore, a recent population-based survey of adults in Hong Kong estimated the prevalence of insomnia to be 20.7%.20 This was twofold higher than the insomnia estimate (11.9%) from a 2002 survey, using a comparable measure29. Approximately 10% of the adult population suffers from an insomnia disorder and another 20% experiences occasional insomnia symptoms30. Data from The National Health Interview Survey reported 14.5% of adults had trouble falling asleep and 17.8% of adults had trouble staying asleep. As such, the prevalence of insomnia in Hong Kong is comparable to both global and US estimates. Additionally, a study comparing the both the prevalence of insomnia according to different diagnostic measures, and between Hong Kong and the United States by adopting a similar methodology used by the America Insomnia Survey (AIS), showed that the prevalence of insomnia disorder was similar for Hong Kong and the United States.31
An important consideration regarding generalizability for this body of evidence is that because we were seeking to treat individuals prior to their use of other interventions (e.g., drugs), the remaining potential confounding factor would be if there were differences in the presentation and diagnosis of the disease based on race/ethnicity. We were unable to find any evidence to suggest that such a difference exists. We also note that when verifying the presence of insomnia at each site as described above, the same criteria were used in both cases. Even if
{30}------------------------------------------------
Version: 01

510(k) Summary
both sites were within either the UK or Hong Kong, it would have been entirely possible for the baseline mean to vary between those two sites and yet not affect overall generalizability.
Study Limitations
As with all clinical trials, confounding factors can make it difficult to interpret how well the intervention has worked. Therefore, to ensure a robust dataset with a low number of variables, several conditions and medications were excluded in this clinical trial.
- . Persons currently taking over the counter or prescribed medications for sleep, beta blockers, or who regularly use antihistamines.
- . Persons with a history of stroke, or severe injury to the brain.
- Persons with an active significant mental health disorder or cognitive impairment. ●
- . Persons with any disease which may cause vestibular neuropathy.
- . Persons with myelodysplastic syndromes, or history of malignancy in the past 12months.
Conclusion
A complete case analysis of this pivotal study reported that participants using the Modius Sleep device daily demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in their insomnia at 4 weeks.
Safety and Effectiveness Conclusion VIII.
Based on the clinical performance as documented in the pivotal clinical study, Modius Sleep is a low-risk, non-invasive, drug-free therapy, that provides a statistically significant benefit at 4 weeks when used to treat chronic insomnia.
Based on this clinical testing and technical comparison, it can be determined that Modius Sleep device is substantially equivalent to the listed predicate devices.

§ 882.5800 Cranial electrotherapy stimulator.
(a)
Identification. A cranial electrotherapy stimulator is a prescription device that applies electrical current that is not intended to induce a seizure to a patient's head to treat psychiatric conditions.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) when intended to treat insomnia and/or anxiety. The special controls for this device are:(i) A detailed summary of the clinical testing pertinent to use of the device to demonstrate the effectiveness of the device to treat insomnia and/or anxiety.
(ii) Components of the device that come into human contact must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iii) The device must be designed and tested for electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in its intended use environment.
(iv) Appropriate software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed.
(v) The technical parameters of the device, including waveform, output mode, pulse duration, frequency, train delivery, maximum charge, and energy, must be fully characterized and verified.
(vi) The labeling for the device must include the following:
(A) The intended use population and the intended use environment;
(B) A warning that patients should be monitored by their physician for signs of worsening;
(C) A warning that instructs patients on how to mitigate the risk of headaches, and what to do should a headache occur;
(D) A warning that instructs patients on how to mitigate the risk of dizziness, and what to do should dizziness occur;
(E) A detailed summary of the clinical testing, which includes the clinical outcomes associated with the use of the device, and a summary of adverse events and complications that occurred with the device;
(F) Instructions for use that address where to place the electrodes, what stimulation parameters to use, and duration and frequency of treatment sessions. This information must be based on the results of clinical studies for the device;
(G) A detailed summary of the device technical parameters, including waveform, output mode, pulse duration, frequency, train delivery, and maximum charge and energy; and
(H) Information on validated methods for reprocessing any reusable components between uses.
(vii) Cranial electrotherapy stimulator devices marketed prior to the effective date of this reclassification must have an amendment submitted to the previously cleared premarket notification (510(k)) demonstrating compliance with these special controls.
(2) Class III (premarket approval) when intended to treat depression.
(c) Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before March 19, 2020, for any cranial electrotherapy stimulator device with an intended use described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before March 19, 2020, been found to be substantially equivalent to any cranial electrotherapy stimulator device with an intended use described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other cranial electrotherapy stimulator device with an intended use described in paragraph (b)(2) of this section shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
