Intended Use

The Sandman Pocket is intended for use in collecting and recording physiological data to be used in polysomnography and sleep disorder studies. The Sandman Pocket is intended for pediatric through adult patient populations, and can be used in either home or hospital environments. The Sandman Pocket is not intended for use as life supporting equipment such, as a vital sign monitoring in an intensive care unit. The device does not produce alarms and is not intended as an automated apnea monitor. The Sandman Pocket is only to be used under the direction or supervision of a physician, technologist or clinician.

Device Story

Sandman Pocket is a portable, battery-powered physiological data recorder for polysomnography. System comprises a Headbox Unit (sensor/electrode interface) and a Recorder Unit (data storage/processing). Inputs include EEG, EOG, EMG, ECG, respiratory effort, airflow, body position, and SpO2 (via external Nellcor Puritan Bennett oximetry probe). Headbox performs signal isolation (CF type) and A/D conversion; Recorder amplifies, filters, and stores data on internal NAND flash memory. Device features built-in impedance meter for electrode contact verification. During attended studies, data transmits in real-time to a host PC via USB; for unattended studies, data is downloaded post-study. Device acts as a passive bridge for third-party CPAP data. Clinicians review data on host PC using third-party sleep analysis software. Output provides raw physiological waveforms and derived metrics like Pulse Transit Time (PTT) and heart rate. Used in home or hospital settings by clinicians to aid in sleep disorder diagnosis.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), mechanical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.

Technological Characteristics

Microprocessors: TI TMS320UC5402 (recorder) and TI MSP430F169 (headbox). Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and related EMC standards (CISPR 11, IEC 61000 series).

Indications for Use

Indicated for pediatric through adult patients requiring polysomnography or sleep disorder studies. Not for use as life-support, intensive care vital sign monitoring, or automated apnea monitoring. Must be used under physician, technologist, or clinician supervision.

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.

Meridian St. Suite 150 Carmel, IN 46032 Phone: (317) 569-9500 x 103 Facsimile: (317) 569-9520 Contact Person: Carri Graham Date: June 12, 2006 807.92(a)(2) Trade Name: Sandman Pocket Common Name: Ventilatory Effort Recorder Classification Name(s): Ventilatory Effort Recorder Classification Number: MNR 807.92(a)(3) Predicate Device(s) Nellcor Puritan Bennett Inc. SUZANNE K990565 Respironics, IN Alice S K040595 Additional Substantial Equivalence Information is provided in the following Substantial Equivalence Comparison Table. {1}------------------------------------------------ 807.92 (a)(4) #### Device Description The Sandman Pocket is a physiological data recorder that is part of a polysomnography system. It consists of two units: the Recorder Unit, which stores the data and sends it to a USB port, and Headbox Unit, which is the connection point for all patient sensors with the exception of the Nellcor Puritan Bennett oximetry probe. The role of the Sandman Pocket is only to capture the data and pass it to the host with the necessary accuracy and reliability according to the product and communication control specifications. A fundamental characteristic of the Sandman Pocket is the ability to be an ambulatory/portable physiological data recorder. Because of its small size and light weight (about 210 grams including the battery), the system is compact and durable. The Headbox Unit is used for connecting patient electrodes and sensors. It includes Bipolar channels, pressure sensors, power supply for a dedicated body position sensor, an abdomen sensor, a chest sensor, a snore sensor and a thermistor. The patient inputs are isolated with a CF type isolation level. The Sandman Pocket device is provided without standard sensors. The system builder should integrate the device with FDA cleared Nellcor Puritan Bennett sensors only and specified for the usage with NELL-1 module. The Headbox Unit captures the biological signals from the human body surface through specialized sensors and electrodes, while the Recorder Unit amplifies the very low electrical signal and filters the signals to make an optimal ANALOG to DIGITAL conversion. The data, once converted in numerical form, are sent to a host computer for review and analysis. The host can "program" the amplifier behavior by setting the sampling frequency and the dynamic range allowed and so on. The host computer reads the acquired data through a dedicated interchange protocol, and allows a clinician to analyze the data using sleep review analysis software, provided by the end user or system builder. The clinician must use an electrically isolated computer (with a medical grade isolation transformer or medical grade power supply) or batterysupplied laptop when the Sandman Pocket device is connected to the host PC and the patient is connected to the Sandman Pocket Headbox. The Sandman Pocket system is not in any way involved in the data management performed by the host. The host computer must operate using one of the following Operating System: Microsoft Windows 98 / ME / NT / 2K / XP. The device has a built-in impedance meter. This function allows the clinician to check the electrode contact impedance and display the results of the check on the display. The {2}------------------------------------------------ display is located in the Recorder Unit, while the circuitry controlling the impedance meter is located in the Headbox Unit. The Sandman Pocket can be powered through 3 Alkaline 1.5V standard non rechargeable batteries or via the USB cable. The user is recommended to use a medical grade type PC. The Sandman Pocket system consists of two interconnected units: the Headbox Unit and the Recorder Unit. Image /page/2/Figure/4 description: The image shows a diagram of a recorder unit and a headbox unit. The recorder unit has a USB port and a serial port for CPAP. The headbox unit has inputs for abdomen, chest, body position, snore, thermistor, and cannula. An oximeter cable is also shown.
