Device Description
Aurora is a Class II Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), intended to aid in the evaluation of sleep disorders, where it may inform or drive clinical management. Aurora is a software application that is indicated for use on a general-purpose computing platform. It is a cloud-based software-as-a-medicaldevice (SaMD) with a user interface that runs in a web browser. Aurora automatically analyzes and displays photoplethsmography (PPG) signal data including SPO2 and pulse/heart rate only from compatible FDA-cleared medical purpose pulse oximeters that meet Aurora's data acquisition requirements for sampling rate, digital resolution, measurement range, and accuracy range. Following upload of a compatible PPG study to the cloud software, the algorithm functions by verifying minimum signal quality, study length, and technical adequacy requirements, preprocessing the data including normalization, digital filtration, and artifact detection/rejection procedures, applying machine learning algorithms including multiple deep neural network machine learning models, statistical signal processing analyses including time-domain and time-frequency domain analyses over multiple time and resolution scales, and other analyses output a detected set of events and derived signals for the PPG study that are post-processed and logically filtered according to algorithm rules based on the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommended scoring event, desaturation, and association rules. Aurora algorithm outputs, including scored respiratory events, sleep stages, Aurora Apnea-Hypopnea Index (eAHI), Total Sleep Time (TST), Sleep Efficiency (SE), Sleep Latency (SL), Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO), and Oxygen Desaturation Events Index (ODI) measures, are stored and made available for display, editing, and review in Aurora by qualified healthcare professionals. Aurora reports results of the automated data analysis based on AASM guidelines, including the Aurora output Apnea-Hypopnea Index (eAHI) and total sleep time (TST). The algorithm outputs are graphical and numerical displays and reports of sleep latency, sleep quality, and sleep pathologies including sleep disordered breathing. The Aurora displays and reports are for the order of physicians, trained technicians, or other healthcare professionals to evaluate sleep disorders where it may inform or drive clinical management taking into consideration other factors that normally are considered for clinical management of sleep disorders for adults. The clinician can view raw data for interpretation, edit events, write clinical notes, and customize sleep reports for the patient. Aurora output is not intended to be interpreted or clinical action taken without consultation of a qualified healthcare professional.
More Information

Yes
The device description explicitly states that the algorithm functions by "applying machine learning algorithms including multiple deep neural network machine learning models".

No
The device aids in the diagnosis and evaluation of sleep disorders, but it does not directly provide therapy or treatment.

Yes

The intended use explicitly states, "Aurora is intended for use by and by order of a healthcare professional to aid in the diagnosis of sleep disorders including sleep apnea in adults." The device analyzes PPG data to provide outputs like eAHI and ODI, which are used to evaluate and inform the diagnosis of sleep disorders.

Yes

The device is explicitly described as "Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)" and a "software application" that runs on a general-purpose computing platform. It analyzes data from compatible, separate FDA-cleared medical purpose pulse oximeters, indicating it does not include its own hardware for data acquisition.

Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

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 detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The tests are performed outside of the body ("in vitro").
  • Aurora's Function: Aurora analyzes Photoplethysmogram (PPG) data collected during sleep. PPG is a non-invasive method that measures changes in blood volume in the skin, typically using a pulse oximeter. This data is collected from the body, not from a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in the diagnosis of sleep disorders by analyzing physiological data collected from the patient during sleep. This is not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

Therefore, Aurora falls under the category of a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) that analyzes physiological signals, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

No
The clearance letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

The performance testing validated Aurora's determination of the eAHI on single channel photoplethysmography (PPG) and oximetry signals for adult patients. Supportive performance testing validated Aurora's determination of Wake, Light non-rapid eye movement (NREM), Deep NREM, and REM Sleep, and performance metrics for TST; Sleep Efficiency (SE); Sleep Latency (SL); Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO); and Oxygen Desaturation Events Index (ODI).

Simultaneous polysomnography (PSG) and home sleep apnea test (HSAT) recordings were collected for adult patients (n=158) using Philips Respironics Sleepware G3 (K202142), Natus Sandman Elite (K153353), and Polysmith Sleep System (K161650) for PSG recordings, and Viatom Checkme O2 (K191088) for HSAT recordings. Each of the PSG recordings were manually scored by three registered polysomnographic technologists using guidelines following the 3% desaturation guidance. For an event to be officially scored or reported, a consensus of at least two-thirds among the scorers was required. Each PSG was reviewed by a board-certified sleep physician to provide clinical confirmation of scoring and technical adequacy.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. Since this is a software-only medical device that does not control other devices the performance data do not include biocompatibility, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, mechanical, acoustic, or animal testing.

The primary metric for assessing performance of Aurora (subject device) is the Aurora Apnea Hypopnea Index (eAHI). The eAHI depends on the number of sleep disordered breathing events detected, normalized by a determination of total sleep time (TST), where the TST is the total amount of sleep time during the recording period.

The performance testing validated Aurora's determination of the eAHI on single channel photoplethysmography (PPG) and oximetry signals for adult patients. Supportive performance testing validated Aurora's determination of Wake, Light non-rapid eye movement (NREM), Deep NREM, and REM Sleep, and performance metrics for TST; Sleep Efficiency (SE); Sleep Latency (SL); Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO); and Oxygen Desaturation Events Index (ODI).

Simultaneous polysomnography (PSG) and home sleep apnea test (HSAT) recordings were collected for adult patients (n=158) using Philips Respironics Sleepware G3 (K202142), Natus Sandman Elite (K153353), and Polysmith Sleep System (K161650) for PSG recordings, and Viatom Checkme O2 (K191088) for HSAT recordings. Each of the PSG recordings were manually scored by three registered polysomnographic technologists using guidelines following the 3% desaturation guidance. For an event to be officially scored or reported, a consensus of at least two-thirds among the scorers was required. Each PSG was reviewed by a board-certified sleep physician to provide clinical confirmation of scoring and technical adequacy.

VI. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. Since this is a software-only medical device that does not control other devices the performance data do not include biocompatibility, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, mechanical, acoustic, or animal testing.

The device was designed and tested under the following standards and guidelines:

  • . EN ISO 13485 Third Edition 2016/A11 Medical devices - Quality management systems -Requirements for regulatory purposes
  • . EN ISO 14971 Third Edition 2019-12 Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices
  • IEC 62304 Edition 1.1 2015-06 Medical device software - Software life cycle processes
  • Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket ● Submissions - FDA guidance issued September 27, 2023
  • . Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions - FDA guidance issued June 14, 2023

The primary metric for assessing performance of Aurora (subject device) is the Aurora Apnea Hypopnea Index (eAHI). The eAHI depends on the number of sleep disordered breathing events detected, normalized by a determination of total sleep time (TST), where the TST is the total amount of sleep time during the recording period.

The performance testing validated Aurora's determination of the eAHI on single channel photoplethysmography (PPG) and oximetry signals for adult patients. Supportive performance testing validated Aurora's determination of Wake, Light non-rapid eye movement (NREM), Deep NREM, and

REM Sleep, and performance metrics for TST; Sleep Efficiency (SE); Sleep Latency (SL); Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO); and Oxygen Desaturation Events Index (ODI).

Simultaneous polysomnography (PSG) and home sleep apnea test (HSAT) recordings were collected for adult patients (n=158) using Philips Respironics Sleepware G3 (K202142), Natus Sandman Elite (K153353), and Polysmith Sleep System (K161650) for PSG recordings, and Viatom Checkme O2 (K191088) for HSAT recordings. Each of the PSG recordings were manually scored by three registered polysomnographic technologists using guidelines following the 3% desaturation guidance. For an event to be officially scored or reported, a consensus of at least two-thirds among the scorers was required. Each PSG was reviewed by a board-certified sleep physician to provide clinical confirmation of scoring and technical adequacy.
