Intended Use
The intended use of the "Snap Model 5™" device is to screen patients for apnea and snoring and to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of apnea and snoring. The "Snap Model 5™" testing system is only intended for short term monitoring such as to record the oximetry and snoring sounds continuously during the night. The system is not intended as a substitute for full polysomnography when additional parameters such as sleep stages, limb movements or EEG activity are required. The target population is patients who are suspected of apnea and/or complain about snoring. The majority of the screenings are going to take place at the patient's home, although some may take place in a sleep laboratory. Both pediatric and adult patients may be tested. CAUTION: US Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Use of this device must be under the direct supervision of a qualified adult (parent or guardian) or health care practitioner trained in the use of the "Snap Model 5TM" device.
Device Description
This notification is for a modification to the existing device, the "Digi-Snap™" Testing Device. The modified device is called the "Snap Model 5™4" The modification involves the use of a personal computer with certain options installed instead of the specialized microcomputer and Zip drive system. The oximeter is connected to the unit along with the usual microphone/cannula apparatus and the oximeter sensor is slipped over the patient's finger in the usual manner. The patient turns on the unit, then goes to sleep. Apnea and snoring events are then recorded. After awakening, the patient returns the disk and the equipment to the analysis service center, where the disk is analyzed. If the patient's own personal computer was used, only a disk is returned to the analysis center for evaluation.
More Information

No
The document describes a modification to an existing device that replaces a specialized microcomputer with a personal computer for data recording. It focuses on hardware changes and data storage/transfer, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis. The analysis is performed at a service center, implying human interpretation of the recorded data.

No
The device is used for screening and analysis of apnea and snoring, which are diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic. It records events but does not treat them.

Yes.

Explanation: The device is intended to "screen patients for apnea and snoring and to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of apnea and snoring," which are diagnostic activities. It records oximetry and snoring sounds to identify specific medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the modification involves using a personal computer and connecting an oximeter and microphone/cannula apparatus. This indicates the device includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the "Snap Model 5™" device is an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is intended to "screen patients for apnea and snoring and to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of apnea and snoring." This involves analyzing physiological signals (oximetry and snoring sounds) collected from the patient to provide diagnostic information related to a medical condition (apnea and snoring).
  • Analysis of Biological Samples/Signals: While it doesn't analyze traditional biological samples like blood or urine, it analyzes physiological signals (oximetry from the finger and snoring sounds from the upper lip/cannula). These signals are collected in vitro (outside the body) for analysis.
  • Diagnostic Purpose: The purpose is to aid in the diagnosis or screening of a medical condition (apnea and snoring).
  • Regulatory Language: The "CAUTION: US Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician" is typical language for medical devices, including IVDs.

While the device description focuses on the hardware and data collection, the core function of analyzing collected physiological data to provide diagnostic information aligns with the definition of an IVD. The fact that the analysis can be done remotely at an analysis service center further supports the idea that the device is part of a system for in vitro analysis of collected data.
