The WatchPAT400 (WP400) is a non-invasive home care device for use with patients suspected to have sleep related breathing disorders. The device is a diagnostic aid for the detection of sleep related breathing disorders, sleep staging (REM Sleep, Light Sleep, Deep Sleep and Wake), snoring level and body position. The WP400 generates a peripheral arterial tonometry ("PAT"), Respiratory Disturbance Index ("pRDI"), Apnea-Hypopnea index ("pAHI"), Central Apnea-Hypopnea index ("pAHIc"), sleep staging identification (pSTAGES) and optional snoring level and body position discrete states from an external integrated snoring and body position sensor. The device's pSTAGES and snoring level and body position provide supplemental information to its pRDI/pAHI/pAHIc. The device's pSTAGES and snoring level and body position are not intended to be used as the sole or primary basis for diagnosing any sleep related breathing disorder, prescribing treatment, or determining whether additional diagnostic assessment is warranted.

pAHIc is indicated for use in patients 17 years and older. All other parameters are indicated for 12 years and older.

The WP400 is a ventilatory effort recorder that utilizes PAT technology. The controller part of the device is worn on the wrist and records the PAT signal and arterial blood oxygen saturation levels by a finger-mounted probe based on an optical plethysmographic method. An actigraph, embedded in the wrist worn controller unit, records wrist motion that is used to determine periods of sleep vs wake. A chest sensor is attached to the patient's chest right under the sternal notch for measuring snoring level, body position states and chest movements. The device is battery powered and connects via Bluetooth to a mobile application.

The WP400 is a re-usable device, with sensors common with the WP300 and wireless connectivity identical to the WP1. With the same core technology, signal acquisition, and signal processing identical across all three WatchPAT devices, the WP400 is a combination of its predecessors: device housing leveraged from the WP300 for its re-usable nature, combined with the ability for wireless communication leveraged from the WP1. Signals recording, processing, and analysis has not changed from the predicate devices.
