Intended Use

The MediByte™ is a portable sleep data recorder used to record physiological signals during sleep while the patient is either at home or in a clinical environment. The data is downloaded after the recording is completed and the assist software enables the trained human professional - typically a Registered Sleep Technologist or Medical Doctor - to verify the results of the study and generate a report.

Device Story

MediByte is a palm-sized, battery-powered portable sleep data recorder. It acquires up to 8 channels of physiological signals: EMG or EKG, chest effort, abdominal effort, airflow pressure, snoring, body position, SpO2, and pulse rate. Device stores data locally; no real-time viewing. Post-recording, data is downloaded via USB to a computer for analysis by a trained professional (Registered Sleep Technologist or MD) using assist software. Software facilitates verification of study results and report generation. Used in home or clinical settings. Benefits include portable, convenient sleep disorder screening for children and adults.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Functional testing confirmed device met performance specifications and output readability. Software verification and validation performed per FDA guidance. Environmental and electrical safety testing conducted per EEG device guidance. Simulation tests compared MediByte performance to the MediPalm® predicate, demonstrating identical performance.

Technological Characteristics

Palm-sized, battery-powered (1/2 AA) portable recorder. Connects to computer via USB. Uses FDA-cleared sensors. Patient contact materials are latex-free and biocompatible. Records 8 channels of physiological data. Software-assisted analysis platform.

Indications for Use

Indicated for children and adult patients undergoing sleep disorder screening. No specific contraindications listed.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A breathing (ventilatory) frequency monitor is a device intended to measure or monitor a patient's respiratory rate. The device may provide an audible or visible alarm when the respiratory rate, averaged over time, is outside operator settable alarm limits. This device does not include the apnea monitor classified in § 868.2377.

Predicate Devices

• MediPalm® (K031202)
• Ultima Airflow Pressure Sensor (K984431)
• Ultima Respiratory Effort Sensor (K982216)
• Ultima Snore Microphone (K020312)

The MediByte™ records up to 8 channels of physiological signals: either electromyogram (EMG), or electrocardiogram (EKG); as well as chest effort; abdominal effort; airflow pressure; snoring; body position; arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2); and pulse rate. The signals cannot be viewed in real time, but can be downloaded after collection for assisted analysis by a human professional trained in the analysis and reporting of sleep disorders medicine.

The MediByte™ is powered by one ½ AA battery and connects to a computer via the MediByte™ USB communication cable. The MediByte™ and sensors are both typically worn by the patient during the recording and all patient contact materials consist of latex-free biocompatible material.

# 7.0 Predicate Device Equivalence

We are claiming substantial equivalence to the following devices all manufactured and sold by BRAEBON Medical Corporation:

- MediPalm®: K031202, Braebon Medical Corporation 1.

### 8.0 Similarities and Differences Between Subject and Predicate Devices

# 9.0 Performance Testing

Functional testing was performed to confirm that the MediByte™ is capable of meeting its stated performance specifications and that the device output is readable. MediByte™ passed all tests.

All software testing was performed in accordance with the May 2005 "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" published by the Office of Device Evaluation. The MediByte™ passed all tests.

All software verification and validation testing was performed in accordance with the January 11, 2002 "General Principles of Software Validation: Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff." The MediByte™ passed all tests.

All environmental and electrical safety testing was performed in accordance with the November 03, 1997 "Electroencephalograph Devices Guidance for 510(k) Content." The MediByte™ passed all tests.
