The SleepRes PAP system is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients weighing more than 66 lbs. (30 kg.). The SleepRes PAP system is intended for home, hospital / institutional and sleep center settings.
The SleepRes PAP system consists of a firmware-controlled console, power cable and power adapter, air filter, water tank, and heated breathing tube. The PAP console is composed of a control system, motor system, and heating system. The control system includes the main board, buttons, screen, and sensor. The motor system includes the motor, fan blade, motor outer shell, and silence box. The heating system includes a heating plate and temperature sensor. The PAP console of the subject device does not include foam.
The SleepRes PAP system also includes the following components of PAP therapy systems:
- Water tank
- Air filter
- Breathing Tube
The SleepRes PAP system offers several modes:
- CPAP
- Provides continuous positive airway pressure at the prescribed pressure
- APAP
- Functions to titrate the pressure up (and down as well) to balance reducing or eliminating sleep events while using the lowest effective pressure. Pressure limits are pre-set by the prescribing clinician.
- Kairos Positive Airway Pressure (KPAP)
- This algorithm reduces airway pressure during both inspiration and during most of expiration, only returning pressure to the prescribed treatment level towards the end of expiration.
Connectivity to a Cloud platform via Wi-Fi connection.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter and summary for the SleepRes PAP System (K251770) offer some details about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets these criteria. However, it's important to note that a 510(k) summary is a high-level overview and does not typically contain all the granular details of a full study report.
Here's an attempt to extract and present the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The 510(k) summary broadly asserts that the device met performance and safety requirements. Specific, quantifiable acceptance criteria with corresponding performance outcomes are not explicitly listed in a detailed format within the provided document, beyond the comparison table with the predicate.
| Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Predicate Comparison & Testing) | Reported Device Performance (SleepRes PAP System) |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 4 to 20 cmH2O |
| Pressure Accuracy (Static) | +/- 0.5 cmH2O |
| Pressure Accuracy (Dynamic) | +/- 1.0 -1.5 cmH2O from 10-20 BPM |
| Flow Range | 10-60 lpm |
| Flow Accuracy | +/- 2 lpm or 10% of reading |
| Operating Temperature Range | 5℃ to 32℃ (41˚F to 95˚F) |
| Storage Temperature Range | -20℃ to 55℃ (-13˚F to 158˚F) |
| Atmospheric Pressure Range | 700 to 1060 hPa (0-3000m / 0-9880ft) |
| Noise / Sound | <35 dB(A) (Note: Higher than predicate's 27 dB(A), addressed by labeling mitigation) |
| Therapy Algorithm Effectiveness (Comparative Sleep Studies) | Substantially equivalent to predicate in disordered breathing events (AHI3a), sleep quality, and sleep architecture. |
| Biocompatibility | Met ISO 10993 and ISO 18562 series requirements, including post-accelerated aging tests. |
| Electrical Safety and EMC | Complied with IEC 60601-1 and related collateral standards. |
| Software Verification and Validation | Conducted as per FDA guidances. |
| Human Factors Validation | Conducted as per FDA guidances. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: 50 OSA patients.
- Data Provenance: The document states "Each patient underwent a full night polysomnogram." It does not specify the country of origin of the data. The study involved patients "all of whom were on standard APAP in the home," implying they were existing patients.
- Retrospective or Prospective: Implied to be prospective for the clinical validation part, as it describes a protocol where patients "underwent a full night polysomnogram" with different treatment conditions (CPAP, APAP, and APAP + KPAP) specifically for the study.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
The document does not specify the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set (polysomnogram scoring). It only mentions "PSG sleep studies."
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not specify the adjudication method for the test set (PSG scoring).
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
- Was an MRMC study done? No, an MRMC study was not explicitly described. The clinical study focused on patient outcomes comparing devices/algorithms, not on human readers' performance with or without AI assistance.
- Effect size of human readers improvement: Not applicable, as this was not an MRMC study assessing human reader performance. The study compared the device's therapy algorithms directly through patient outcomes.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
While the clinical study evaluated the device's algorithms (APAP and KPAP) directly through patient polysomnography, it's not described as a "standalone algorithm-only" performance evaluation in the context of interpretation often seen in AI/ML applications. Rather, it evaluated the therapy delivered by the device to patients. The outcomes (AHI3a, sleep quality, sleep architecture) are direct measures of the device's therapeutic effect.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- Type of Ground Truth: Polysomnography (PSG) results, specifically metrics like AHI3a (Apnea-Hypopnea Index with 3% desaturation or arousal criterion), sleep quality, and measures of sleep architecture. These are clinical outcomes obtained from detailed sleep studies.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not specify the sample size for the training set. It only describes the clinical validation study's test set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Since no training set details are provided, the method for establishing its ground truth is not mentioned.

Principle of Operation
A PAP therapy system works by creating and delivering pressurized air into the airway through a patient interface, mask or nasal pillows, to keep the airway open while sleeping. The pressure is set to a therapy level, or it can change based on the patient's breathing needs. Typical therapy pressure averages 11-12 cmH2O but can range from between 4 and 20 cmH2O during APAP use.
Indications for Use:
The SleepRes PAP system is indicated for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients weighing more than 66 lbs. (30 kg.). The SleepRes PAP system is intended for home, hospital / institutional and sleep center settings.

Discussion of Differences Between Subject and Predicates
We presented in the tables above a comparison of the proposed device and then the accessory. We have provided the rationale for the use of a predicate for the proposed PAP system. Separately, we compared the accessory heated wire hose to a reference device.
Technological Characteristics –
The subject device and the predicate, Philips DreamStation 2 utilize a blower to generate pressure and therefore flow to the patient which is software controlled. Each device has a series of algorithms which include APAP, CPAP and a feature referred to as KPAP and C-Flex for the subject device and predicate, respectively. The subject device and the predicate both include an integrated humidifier which provides heat and humidification to the patient via a heated wire hose. We compared the technology of the heated wire hose to a reference device, Exceleron Thermalite, which was found to be similar in all features and functions and is considered substantially equivalent. Both the subject device and the predicate include types of wireless connectivity which permits data transfer for review by the provider who may also provide changes to the PAP device.

The proposed device demonstrated that it met the performance and safety requirements to be found safe and effective compared to the predicates.
Clinical Testing
A clinical validation study was conducted to support the substantial equivalence of the SleepRes APAP device, a Philips APAP device and the SleepRes APAP + KPAP algorithms. The proposed device was compared in PSG sleep studies to the primary predicate for the treatment of OSA.
This study consisted of 50 OSA patients all of whom were on standard APAP in the home. Each patient underwent a full night polysomnogram. Half of the night was spent on CPAP and the other half of the night on APAP, and APAP + KPAP.
The results demonstrated no significant difference in disordered breathing events (AHI3a), sleep quality and metrics of sleep architecture between treatments.
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The comparison of features and specifications, non-clinical performance testing and the comparative clinical studies demonstrate that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicates.
