The description details a simple electronic device with basic timing and memory functions, lacking any mention of complex algorithms, learning, or data processing beyond simple measurement and storage.
No.
The device's intended use is to provide sleep assessment by measuring sleep latency and total sleep time, not to treat a condition.
No
The device is described as providing "sleep assessment" by measuring sleep latency and total sleep time, which are objective measurements of sleep patterns. It does not identify or diagnose any medical conditions or diseases. Instead, the device is described more as a monitoring or tracking tool for sleep habits. While it measures sleep-related metrics, these are not presented as diagnostic of a specific condition.
No
The device description explicitly details physical hardware components including a plastic case, strap, display, buttons, electrodes, a thumb-activated switch, a battery, and internal circuitry. This is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
- Device Function: The Sleep Management System described here measures sleep habits by assessing sleep latency and total sleep time. It does this by using electrodes that measure a circuit completed by the user's fingers, likely related to skin conductivity or a similar physiological signal.
- Lack of Specimen Examination: The device does not examine any specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro. It interacts directly with the user's body (wrist and fingers) to gather data.
Therefore, the device's function and method of operation do not align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic. It is a device that interacts with the user's body to collect physiological data related to sleep.

Device Description
The Sleep Management System consists of a slender plastic case with front and back faces and a plastic strap. The user wears the strap around his wrist so that the device will not drop to the floor when the user falls asleep. On the front face, the device has a display, three function buttons, and two electrodes. On the back face, the device has a thumb-activated switch. The display shows either minutes and hours awake or asleep. Two of the three function buttons cause either time awake or time asleep to be displayed and the third function button is the stop/reset button.
The two electrodes are located in a recessed section of the front face. The two electrodes form two ends of a circuit. The circuit is completed by placing fingers across the electrodes. The current in the circuit flows through the user's fingers to pass from one electrode to the other electrode. The switch on the back face of the case and the circuit formed between the two electrodes operate the timing function of the device.
The circuitry of the device includes a 1.5 volt watch battery, power supply, clock, alarm, light, memory, delay and a control and routing circuit. The power supply powers the device using the battery's stored energy. The clock times the user's time awake and time asleep. By pressing the various function buttons, the device will display the time awake or asleep. The memory stores the user's time awake and time asleep. The timing functions have a three second delay for switching between functions so that the user can briefly adjust finger positioning without changing modes.

Substantial Equivalence
The Sleep Management System consists of a slender plastic case with front and back faces and a plastic strap. The user wears the strap around his wrist so that the device will not drop to the floor when the user falls asleep. On the front face, the device has a display, three function buttons, and two electrodes. On the back face, the device has a thumb-activated switch. The display shows either minutes and hours awake or asleep. Two of the three function buttons cause either time awake or time asleep to be displayed and the third function button is the stop/reset button.
The two electrodes are located in a recessed section of the front face. The two electrodes form two ends of a circuit. The circuit is completed by placing fingers across the electrodes. The current in the circuit flows through the user's fingers to pass from one electrode to the other electrode. The switch on the back face of the case and the circuit formed between the two electrodes operate the timing function of the device.
The circuitry of the device includes a 1.5 volt watch battery, power supply, clock, alarm, light, memory, delay and a control and routing circuit. The power supply powers the device using the battery's stored energy. The clock times the user's time awake and time asleep. By pressing the various function buttons, the device will display the time awake or asleep. The memory stores the user's time awake and time asleep. The timing functions have a three second delay for switching between functions so that the user can briefly adjust finger positioning without changing modes.
Thought Technology Ltd.'s GSR2 Biofeedback Monitor is intended to diagnose sleeping disorders and provide biofeedback related to relaxation. The device consists of a plastic case with two recessed sections on the front panel, a retention snap, an earphone or meter jack, an electrode or thermistor jack, and a volume control dial on the side. A stainless steel sensing plate resides within each recessed section. The sensing plates are at ends of a circuit.
Ambulatory Monitoring, Inc.'s cleared Actigraph is a wrist watch-like device intended to provide information regarding length and time of sleep and the number of disruptions and their possible source (i.e., sleep disorders). The device has a velcro or plastic wrist strap. It also has a display panel that displays time and indicators as to whether the device is collecting data, is idle, or has a full memory. The device contains an accelerometer to detect motion and memory to store the data generated. The information stored in the device is downloaded so that it can be analyzed by software provided by the company. The software provides statistics for estimated sleep and wake totals, sleep latency, and nap frequency and duration. It also provides information on sleep quality. The statistics are estimated using sleep estimation algorithms.

The RMP SMS is substantially equivalent to the GSR2 and Actigraph because they have the same intended use and very similar technological characteristics and principles of operation. For instance, the devices are intended to provide sleep assessment, and they provide information regarding time awake and time asleep.
The RMP SMS and the predicate devices consist of a case worn or pressed against the user's wrist or fingers to measure an indicator of sleep. For instance, the RMP SMS and GSR2 use galvanic skin resistance as an indicator of sleep by measuring the current flowing through the user's finger or fingers between the two electrode. The difference between using one or two fingers does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness because in either instance the current level is very low and will not harm the patient. Moreover, the estimates of time asleep and time awake are based not on the quantity of the current but on the presence or absence of a current flowing between the two electrodes.
The current flowing through the user of the RMP SMS is 45 microamps or 70 microamps maximum. The GSR2 has a 45 microamp current flowing through the user. These currents are very similar in magnitude. The difference in magnitude does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness because the difference is very small and the total magnitude is also very small. Any other minor technological differences do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
