Intended Use
The Nellcor Puritan Bennett Suzanne is intended for use in collecting physiological data to be used in diagnosing sleep disorders. A pediatric through adult patient population is intended for the Suzanne, which can be used in either home or hospital environments.
Device Description
The Suzanne System is composed of a data recorder that contains the electronics and software necessary to capture the physiological information of each sensor and to store this information in a Flash card it to a computer via a serial communication port. The information that can be recorded by the Suzanne System is : - · EEG signals - · ECG signals - · Pressure signals - · Thoracic movements - Abdominal movements . - · Breath detection (through bucco-nasal thermistor) - · Flow (through pneumotachometer) - · Envelope of ambient sound - · Body position - · Ambient light detection The signals are amplified by different amplifiers contained in elements of the system known as headboxes. When used in a home environment, the data is recorded in the flash card and the clinican uses a setup unit to check that the system works correctly and to set the recording starting time. When used in a clinical environment, the system can be used as described above or data can be recorded to a computer with the use of a PC application software. The system is powered by an internal battery.

No
The description focuses on data acquisition and storage, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation of the collected physiological data. The performance studies described are functional and software compliance tests, not validation of AI/ML model performance.

No.
The device is intended for collecting physiological data for diagnosing sleep disorders, not for treating them.

Yes

The device's "Intended Use" explicitly states it is "intended for use in collecting physiological data to be used in diagnosing sleep disorders." This directly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states the system is composed of a data recorder containing electronics and software, headboxes for signal amplification, and is powered by an internal battery, indicating significant hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Nellcor Puritan Bennett Suzanne is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Suzanne's Function: The Suzanne system collects physiological data directly from the patient's body (EEG, ECG, pressure, movements, breath, flow, sound, position, light). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to collect physiological data for diagnosing sleep disorders, which is done by monitoring the patient's bodily functions, not by analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Suzanne device falls under the category of a physiological monitoring device, not an IVD.
