The Silent Night II is indicated for diagnosis and evaluation of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, not for treatment.
Yes
The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for use in the diagnostic evaluation of adults with possible Obstructive Sleep Apnea." It also mentions that "Information provided by the device includes the numbers of apneic and hypopneic events and the proportion of these events to the total sleep duration; and snoring levels," which are parameters used for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a metal box, receptacle connectors, microphone cable, sensing microphone, ambient noise microphone, and an LCD. While software is used for data processing and analysis, the device is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the Silent Night II is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, tissue) to obtain information for diagnostic or monitoring purposes.
- Silent Night II Function: The Silent Night II directly measures physiological signals (respiratory sounds and ambient noise) from the patient's body in vivo (within the living body) during sleep. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "diagnostic evaluation of adults with possible Obstructive Sleep Apnea" by recording respiratory patterns during sleep. This is a direct physiological measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.
Therefore, the Silent Night II falls under the category of a medical device that performs physiological measurements, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Silent Night™ II is a modified version of the legally marketed Silent Night I. The device is a portable, line-powered ventilatory effort recorder intended for use in the home screening of possible sleep disorders. The metal box has two receptacle connectors: one for input power and another for the microphone cable. The sensing microphone and the ambient noise microphone are located at the distal end of the cable, and are attached to the user by means of a modified conventional plastic oxygen cannula. The sensing microphone, located directly beneath the patient's nose, senses respiratory sounds during sleep. The ambient microphone, angled to the side of the patient's nose, senses room ambient noise and measures snoring levels. The Silent Night II is capable of recording up to four nights of sleep study data. The beginning and end of the sleep study are controlled by the use of the START and STOP buttons, located on the front of the unit. An LCD indicates operational status and has a sound level bar, used by the patient at the beginning of the study to verify adequate sensing of breathing sounds by the device.
The device operates by sensing the sound field (breathing sounds + room ambient noise) via the two microphones. Breathing sounds are extracted from all sounds received. The signals are filtered, analyzed, and processed to differentiate between types of sounds and to classify sounds as regular snoring or breathing, hypopnea, or annes. When beep study is completed, the cumulatively logged data are downloaded by Local Site a personal computer. Specialized software and provides, for each night of the sleep study, information about apneas, hypopneas, and snoring levels.

Clinical: The Silent Night II was evaluated in the clinical setting. Patients were subjected to sleep laboratory evaluation with a standard polysomnograph (the Sensormedics Model 4100 Somnostar system) and the additional use of the Silent Night II. The number of Apneas and resulting Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI) calculated by the Silent Night II were compared with data gathered simultaneously on these parameters by the Sensormedics device.
Summary of Performance Studies
Engineering: In view of the modifications made to the Silent Night J, Loeal Siteme, Inc. evaluated the need and requirements for additional testing of Silent Night II. With the exception of electrostatic discharge testing (which was completed with acceptable results), it was determined that due to the extensive similarities in design, materials and construction of the Silent Night II to Silent Night I, additional mechanical and environmental testing was not warranted.

Descriptive Summary of Technological Characteristics and those of Predicate Devices: The Silent Night II is a portable, line-powered device which detects and records respiratory patterns during sleep. The device components are housed in a metal box, which contains the hardware and software required for device function. The Silent Night II employs two microphones. The sensing microphone, located directly beneath the patient's nose, senses respiratory sounds during sleep. The ambient microphone, angled to the side of the patient's nose, senses room ambient noise and measures snoring levels. Sleep study data are downloaded to a computer for printing.
As with the Silent Night II, the legally marketed Silent Night I is a portable, line-powered device which detects and records respiratory patterns during sleep. An enclosure contains the device components and software required for device function. The Silent Night I also employs two microphones; however, the sensing microphone of the Silent Night I is aerial and is located 1 to 2 feet from the mouth of the patient, while the ambient microphone is built into the rear of the box. Device function and principle of operation are identical between the two devices. Respiratory sounds are differentiated by the device and classified as regular snoring or breathing, hypopnea, or apnea. In the Silent Night I, these classified events are logged cumulatively and displayed on the control panel on the top of the device.
The Sensormedics 4000 Series Sleep System is intended to collect, score and report data from sleep studies such as the electroencephalograph, electro-oculograph, electromyograph and electrocardiograph. The product is also used for recording respiratory signals from devices such as thermistors and thermocouples, and breathing sounds detected by transducers or microphones. The device is intended for use in a hospital or sleep laboratory setting.
