Intended Use

The Embletta Gold is a digital recording device designed to be used under the direction of a physician or trained technician but applied by a layperson. The Embletta Gold records multiple physiological parameters for the purpose of simultaneous or subsequent display of the parameters. The displayed data assists in the identification of sleep-related medical disorders by trained personnel. The Embletta Gold is intended to be used for adult and pediatric (excluding neonatal and infant) studies. Note the recorder is not equipped with an alarm device and is not intended to be used as a life monitor. The intended environments include any clean, dry, dust free environment suitable for a patient's relative comfort.

Device Story

Embletta GOLD is a portable, palm-sized digital polysomnographic recorder; captures 9 channels of physiological data including respiratory, EEG, ECG/EKG, positional, user-triggered events, and oximetry. Device records data to internal memory or connected computer for at least 24 hours. Used in hospitals, clinics, or patient homes; applied by layperson under direction of physician or trained technician. Data downloaded to PC for review/analysis by sleep technologist or physician using separate application software. Device provides no alarms; not a life monitor. Assists clinicians in identifying sleep-related disorders by providing recorded physiological data for review.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Compliance with IEC 60601-1/UL60601-1 safety standards and IEC 60601-1-2 electromagnetic compatibility/immunity standards verified. Performance specifications validated through internal testing and design phase verification.

Technological Characteristics

Portable, palm-sized digital recorder; 9-channel input capability. Connectivity via data interface to PC for download. Powered by internal battery. Safety standards: IEC 60601-1/UL60601-1; EMC standards: IEC 60601-1-2. No sterilization or biocompatibility requirements.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and pediatric (excluding neonatal and infant) patients for the recording of physiological parameters to assist in the identification of sleep-related medical disorders. Not for use as a life monitor or alarm device.

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.

Trade Name: Crystal 20 Monitors, 510(k) Number: K042039 {1}------------------------------------------------ HO73688 #### DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Embletta GOLD polysomnographic recorder is intended for both clinical and research sleep applications, with 9 input channel capability of several types of physiological signals used by a physician or trained technician for the simultaneous acquisition of respiratory, electroencephalogram (EEG), electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG), positional, user triggered event and Oximetry parameters from a patient during sleep related studies. The device will be capable of a minimum of 24 hours of recording and saving all 9 input channels either to an internal memory or to a connected computer. The general intended environments are hospitals, institutions, sleep centers, sleep clinics, patient homes but the device should be capable of functioning in any environment where patients can sleep reasonably comfortably. The users are the general public, trained physicians, trained sleep technicians (RPGST) or people working under the supervision of one of these professionals. The user may or may not possess knowledge of the physiological signals or test criteria. The recorder does not provide any alarms and is not intended to be a monitor. A trained sleep technologist (polysomnographer) and a physician would typically review and analyze the recorded signals when downloaded and presented on a PC using a separate application software program. #### INTENDED USE The Embletta Gold is a digital recording device designed to be used under the direction of a physician or trained technician but applied by a layperson. The Embletta Gold records multiple physiological parameters for the purpose of simultaneous or subsequent display of the parameters. The displayed data assists in the identification of sleep-related medical disorders by trained personnel, The Embletta Gold is intended to be used for adult and pediatric (excluding neonatal and infant) studies. Note the recorder is not equipped with an alarm device and is not intended to be used as a life monitor. The intended environments include any clean, dry, dust free environment suitable for a patient's relative comfort. {2}------------------------------------------------ #### Traditional 510(k) Notification for Embla Embletta GOLD™ Recorder #### COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICES The Embletta GOLD recorder is substantially equivalent in the following technological ways to the intended use and application in the identified predicate devices: - Indications for Use O - Target population O - Basic design and architecture ੁ - Where used 0 - Standards met 0 - o Data Interface - Signals recorded o The four predicate device data recorders, (1) the Medcare Flaga Compass F10, (2) the Compumedics Somté System, (3) the Braebon Medipalm - 20, and (4) the Cleveland Medical Devices Crystal 20 Monitor are all small palm-size portable devices that connect to one or more probes or sensors on the patient to record a variety of physiological signals. This data is then downloaded into a separate computer where the polysomnographic application software presents the signals in a format that can be read by a polysomnographic technologist or physician. #### TESTING AND PERFORMANCE DATA Safety tests have been completed to verify compliance with IEC 60601-1/UL60601-1 and all applicable particular standards in this family of international safety standards to ensure that there are no potential hazards on patients, operators, or the surroundings. The results of these tests demonstrate compliance with these safety standards. Electromagnetic Compatibility tests according to IEC 60601-1-2 have been completed to ensure that no intolerable electro-magnetic disturbances are introduced. The results of these tests demonstrate compliance with this standard. Immunity tests to IEC 60601-1-2 have been completed to ensure that the device operates satisfactorily in an electromagnetic environment. The results of these tests demonstrate compliance with this standard. The internal testing, verification in various design phases, and validation of performance specifications have been completed. The results demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the device in accordance with the intended use. {3}------------------------------------------------ K073682 ## Traditional 510(k) Notification for Embla Embletta GOLD™ Recorder No other specific guidance document on performance is required for this type of device. # BIOCOMPATIBILITY, STERILIZATION, PACKAGING, AND BENCH TESTING Biocompatibility and Sterilization do not apply. #### CONCLUSION The signals and channels recorded by the Embletta GOLD recorder were compared to signals and channels recorded by the predicate device recorders. The result of the comparison is that all signals recorded by the Embletta Gold are currently recorded by one or more of the predicate devices. It is therefore the conclusion of Embla Systems Inc. that the Embletta GOLD recorder is substantially equivalent to devices already on the market (cleared by the 510(k) process) and presents no new concerns about safety and effectiveness. {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
