Intended Use

Personalized Therapy Comfort Settings ("PTCS") is an optional software accessory indicated for use by healthcare professionals and patients, providing recommended non-prescription comfort settings options to support patients when using their compatible Resmed PAP therapy device. The outputs provided by PTCS are optional recommendations and are not required to use the therapy device. It is intended for use in a home or clinical environment.

Device Description

The subject device, Personalized Therapy Comfort Settings (PTCS), is an AI-enabled software accessory intended for use with compatible ResMed positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy devices. PTCS provides optional, non-prescription comfort setting (e.g., ramp, EPR and AutoSet Response) recommendations within the cleared configuration limits of the connected device. It is designed to support patients in personalizing comfort settings during onboarding and early therapy adaptation.

PTCS functions as a stand-alone, machine learning (ML)-based algorithm that generates individualized comfort setting recommendations based on patient-specific input data. The software outputs a limited set of predefined configuration options that can be reviewed by the patient or healthcare provider. PTCS does not automatically adjust device settings, modify prescribed therapy parameters, create new settings, or alter configuration limits. The recommendations are optional and may be accepted, disregarded, or further adjusted according to personal preference or clinical guidance. PTCS is integrated into compatible ResMed products through an application programming interface (API) and has no direct user interface or end-user access.

AI/ML Overview

The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the Personalized Therapy Comfort Settings (PTCS) device contains only limited information regarding specific acceptance criteria and the detailed study that proves the device meets these criteria. Much of the information requested in your prompt is not explicitly stated in the provided text.

Based on the available text, here's what can be extracted and what remains unknown:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly provide a table of acceptance criteria with specific numerical targets. It broadly states that "PTCS met all acceptance criteria and passed testing requirements," and that "Analytical validation demonstrated robust sensitivity, specificity, and generalizability." It also mentions "measurable improvements in patient therapy engagement, including increased nightly usage and additional usage days, while maintaining comparable residual AHI and mask leak."

Without specific numerical acceptance criteria, the table below provides what can be inferred.

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from text)Reported Device Performance
Reliable, safe, and effective AI algorithm performance for intended use."PTCS met all acceptance criteria and passed testing requirements." "Analytical validation demonstrated robust sensitivity, specificity, and generalizability, thereby establishing safety and effectiveness without prospective clinical study."
Consistent and reliable model performance across large, representative datasets."Analytical validation confirmed consistent and reliable model performance across large, representative datasets, with consistent treatment-effect results and no identified safety concerns."
Measurable improvements in patient therapy engagement."Retrospective comparisons of PTCS recommended settings to default configurations showed measurable improvements in patient therapy engagement, including increased nightly usage and additional usage days."
Comparable residual AHI (Apnea-Hypopnea Index)."maintaining comparable residual AHI"
Comparable mask leak."maintaining comparable residual AHI and mask leak."
User-comprehensible decision support without impacting therapy delivery or patient safety."Usability evaluations with both clinical and non-clinical users confirmed clear comprehension of PTCS recommendations, appropriate application of judgment, and no critical tasks or use-related risks."

Study Details

1. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance:
* Sample Size: Not specified. The document only mentions "large, representative datasets."
* Data Provenance: "Retrospective, de-identified clinical data representative of the intended population." The country of origin is not specified.

2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
* Not specified. The document does not detail how ground truth for the test set was established.

3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
* Not specified.

4. 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:
* No MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers is mentioned. The study referenced "Usability evaluations with both clinical and non-clinical users confirmed clear comprehension of PTCS recommendations, appropriate application of judgment, and no critical tasks or use-related risks," but this is not a comparative effectiveness study measuring human reader improvement with AI assistance.

5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
* Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was done. The document states: "PTCS functions as a stand-alone, machine learning (ML)-based algorithm that generates individualized comfort setting recommendations based on patient-specific input data." And "Analytical validation demonstrated robust sensitivity, specificity, and generalizability, thereby establishing safety and effectiveness without prospective clinical study." This refers to the algorithm's performance independent of human input during the core recommendation generation.

6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
* Not explicitly stated for the "ground truth" of the comfort settings. However, for evaluating the impact of the recommendations, "outcomes data" were used, specifically "patient therapy engagement, including increased nightly usage and additional usage days, while maintaining comparable residual AHI and mask leak."

7. The sample size for the training set:
* Not specified. The document mentions "large, representative datasets" for model performance validation but does not differentiate between training and test sets in terms of size.

8. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
* Not specified. The document only mentions that the model is "ML-based" and that "Analytical validation demonstrated robust sensitivity, specificity, and generalizability." It does not provide details on how the training data was curated or how its ground truth was established.

Regulation Number: 21 CFR 868.5905
Regulation Name: Noncontinuous Ventilator (IPPB)
Regulatory Class: Class II
Product Code: BZD
Dated: November 4, 2025
Received: November 5, 2025

Dear Rose Malonzo:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

FDA's substantial equivalence determination also included the review and clearance of your Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP). Under section 515C(b)(1) of the Act, a new premarket notification is not required for a change to a device cleared under section 510(k) of the Act, if such change is consistent with an established PCCP granted pursuant to section 515C(b)(2) of the Act. Under 21 CFR 807.81(a)(3), a new

Page 2

K251657 - Rose Malonzo
Page 2

premarket notification is required if there is a major change or modification in the intended use of a device, or if there is a change or modification in a device that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, e.g., a significant change or modification in design, material, chemical composition, energy source, or manufacturing process. Accordingly, if deviations from the established PCCP result in a major change or modification in the intended use of the device, or result in a change or modification in the device that could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of the device, then a new premarket notification would be required consistent with section 515C(b)(1) of the Act and 21 CFR 807.81(a)(3). Failure to submit such a premarket submission would constitute adulteration and misbranding under sections 501(f)(1)(B) and 502(o) of the Act, respectively.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Device Description

The subject device, Personalized Therapy Comfort Settings (PTCS), is an AI-enabled software accessory intended for use with compatible ResMed positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy devices. PTCS provides optional, non-prescription comfort setting (e.g., ramp, EPR and AutoSet Response) recommendations within the cleared configuration limits of the connected device. It is designed to support patients in personalizing comfort settings during onboarding and early therapy adaptation.

PTCS functions as a stand-alone, machine learning (ML)-based algorithm that generates individualized comfort setting recommendations based on patient-specific input data. The software outputs a limited set of predefined configuration options that can be reviewed by the patient or healthcare provider. PTCS does not automatically adjust device settings, modify prescribed therapy parameters, create new settings, or alter configuration limits. The recommendations are optional and may be accepted, disregarded, or further adjusted according to personal preference or clinical guidance. PTCS is integrated into compatible ResMed products through an application programming interface (API) and has no direct user interface or end-user access.

Indications for Use

Personalized Therapy Comfort Settings ("PTCS") is an optional software accessory indicated for use by healthcare professionals and patients, providing recommended non-prescription comfort settings options to support patients when using their compatible Resmed PAP therapy device. The outputs provided by PTCS are optional recommendations and are not required to use the therapy device. It is intended for use in a home or clinical environment.

Non-clinical testing

ResMed conducted the necessary non-clinical testing on PTCS. Results determined that PTCS met all acceptance criteria and passed testing requirements, thus supporting determination of substantial equivalence. There are no hazards or critical tasks identified with PTCS which are reasonably likely to cause injury, harm, or damage to the health of patients. Therefore, usability and human factors testing are not required for PTCS performance validation activities. Non-clinical testing conducted on PTCS included the following:

  • Software verification and validation – PTCS was determined to require a Basic Documentation level, therefore V&V was conducted in accordance with ResMed's QMS processes for design and development and aligns with FDA's guidance "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions" (issued June 2023).

  • Model performance validation - Model performance validation was conducted to ensure the AI algorithm performs reliably, safely, and effectively for its intended use, in alignment with FDA's draft guidance, "AI-Enabled Device Software Functions: Lifecycle Management and Marketing Submission Recommendations" (issued January 2025) and ResMed's product development processes for software and AIML.

  • Cybersecurity – ResMed's approach to cybersecurity aligns with the FDA guidance "Cybersecurity in Medical Devices" (issued March 2024) and Section 524B of the FD&C Act.

Clinical testing

Clinical testing was not required because model performance was comprehensively characterized using retrospective, de-identified clinical data representative of the intended population. This is consistent with FDA's Guidance for the "Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" and "Good Machine Learning Practice for Medical Device Development: Guiding Principles". Analytical validation demonstrated robust sensitivity, specificity, and generalizability, thereby establishing safety and effectiveness without prospective clinical study.

Traditional 510(k)

510(k) Summary

Page 3 of 7

Retrospective analyses demonstrated that the PTCS model performs as safe and as effective as the predicate device by generating optional, non-prescription comfort setting recommendations that support patient usage with their PAP therapy device without altering prescribed therapeutic pressures. Analytical validation confirmed consistent and reliable model performance across large, representative datasets, with consistent treatment-effect results and no identified safety concerns. Retrospective comparisons of PTCS recommended settings to default configurations showed measurable improvements in patient therapy engagement, including increased nightly usage and additional usage days, while maintaining comparable residual AHI and mask leak. These data indicate that selecting from existing comfort settings, including those PTCS may recommend, is safe, effective, and consistent with real-world clinical practice.

Usability evaluations with both clinical and non-clinical users confirmed clear comprehension of PTCS recommendations, appropriate application of judgment, and no critical tasks or use-related risks. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that PTCS provides reliable, user-comprehensible decision support that enhances comfort-setting selection without impacting therapy delivery or patient safety.

Substantial Equivalence

The primary predicate, myAir (K250624), is a software platform cleared under product code BZD that enables device connectivity with the compatible ResMed PAP devices via Bluetooth to configure non-therapeutic comfort settings, start and stop therapy, and provide supplemental therapy support.

The predicate and subject devices share a similar intended use and operate within equivalent ResMed PAP therapy device systems. The subject device differs from the predicate only in that it uses a machine-learning algorithm to recommend alternative default non-therapeutic comfort-setting options based on patient information. The recommended settings options and allowable ranges are unchanged from the predicate device, and no new operating modes are introduced. Differences are limited to software-based logic that provides optional, non-prescription recommendations for comfort settings, without altering delivered therapy or automatically changing device settings. Therefore, the AIML implementation does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness relative to the predicate.

Predetermined Change Control Plan

This premarket submission contains a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP), which complies with Section 3308 of the Food and Drug Omnibus Reform Act (FDORA) of 2022, enacted on December 29, 2022. The PCCP does not include provision for implementation of adaptive algorithms that continuously learn a production environment. All algorithm modifications will be trained, tuned, and locked prior to release of the software to the field. A procedure has also been established for updating the electronic user guide(s) to inform users about modifications to the algorithm changes enabled under this FDA-authorized PCCP, including a summary of changes, characterization of algorithm performance, and availability and compatibility of the function. ResMed will publish updated electronic user guide documentation on its company website and make them accessible within the product for end users.

The PCCP specifies possible device modifications to the subject device as well as design control activities to implement the changes in a controlled manner such that the device remains safe and effective with the changes as the authorized subject device and predicate device. The PCCP includes a list of planned scope of modifications. The PCCP includes impact assessment considerations, specific requirements for data management, including data sources, collection, storage, and sequestration, as well as documentation and data processing practices. Specific test methods are specified in the PCCP to establish substantial equivalence relative to the PTCS subject device and include analysis methods and acceptance criteria. Details of the proposed changes are summarized in Table 2 below.

Table 2: Proposed Modifications to PTCS under the PCCP
