It is intended to support the standard follow-up care of patients that have been prescribed a compatible ResMed therapy device for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea or respiratory insufficiency. EasyCare Online also provides remote settings capabilities
Device Story
EasyCare Online is a web-based application for healthcare specialists to manage patient data from ResMed therapy devices and home sleep test (HST) devices. Inputs include respiratory nasal airflow, respiratory effort, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation from HST devices, plus usage/therapeutic data from flow generators. Data is transmitted wirelessly or via SD card/internet to a central database. The application displays this data to clinicians/DME providers via web browser. It supports diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing, monitoring of therapy compliance, and remote adjustment of device settings. By enabling timely clinical intervention and remote monitoring, the device aims to optimize therapy for obstructive sleep apnea and respiratory insufficiency.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was required. Evidence consists of non-clinical verification, including regression and end-to-end system testing to confirm data transfer integrity, and side-by-side testing using three patient breathing pattern scripts to verify that the modified software correctly and accurately displays home sleep test data compared to the ApneaLink Plus PC software.
Technological Characteristics
Web-based application; centralized database architecture; supports wireless, SD card, and file upload/internet data transfer. Integrates with ResMed flow generators and home sleep test devices. Software-based data management and reporting system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients with sleep disordered breathing, obstructive sleep apnea, or respiratory insufficiency requiring home sleep testing or therapy monitoring.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous ventilator (respirator) is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas. Adult, pediatric, and neonatal ventilators are included in this generic type of device.

EasyCare Online is a web based solution for healthcare specialists intended to:
- assist in the diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing in adult patients through analysis of . data recorded by an EasyCare Online compatible home sleep test device.
- transfer and display, usage and therapeutic information that has been transmitted . remotely from the patient's therapy device located in the home. It is intended to support the standard follow-up care of patients that have been prescribed a compatible ResMed therapy device for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea or respiratory insufficiency. EasyCare Online also provides remote settings capabilities
## Device Description
EasyCare Online is a web application that can transfer, store, manage and display usage and therapy data from (ResMed compatible flow generators) and diagnostic data from (ResMed compatible sleep study devices). The data is transferred from the device either wirelessly through a communications module, or with the aid of an SD card and internet technology, to a central database and then displayed on the clinician's/DME's computer, through a web based application such as internet Explorer.
EasyCare Online is used to monitor and optimize the therapy of patients diagnosed with sleep apnea or respiratory insufficiency, who are using a ResMed therapy device or home sleep test study device. The application enables patient usage data to be shared across several different user groups for the primary purpose of monitoring patient compliance and home sleep studies. Clinical users. Home Medical Equipment (DME) providers and other healthcare specialists can access data with ResMed approved user accounts. Also, clinical users and DMEs are able to address any clinical issues in a timely manner and provide the necessary patient support, including the modification of device settings. EasyCare Online supports physicians in the diagnosis Sleep Disordered Breathing, by reviewing home sleep test results via their web browser or download the clinical data to their PC for further analysis.
## Basis for Determination of Substantial Equivalence
The modified EasyCare Online has the following similarities to the previously cleared predicated device:
- Similar intended use .
- Same operating principle .
- 0 Same technology
- Same manufacturing (deployment) process 0
EasyCare Online modifications provide additional features for collection, storage and reporting of respiratory nasal airflow, respiratory effort, pulse rate and oxygen saturation during sleep studies which is used to assist the physician in diagnosis sleep disordered breathing. The physician prescribed device will help to recognize sleep-related respiratory disorders and lead to comprehensive clinical diagnosis and therapy.
{2}------------------------------------------------
With the ApneaLink Plus (also referred to as ApneaLink to Cloud - ALC) Software integration with EasyCare Online, a regression analysis showed that minimal affect on the existing system would occur. Confidence system level testing was conducted to ensure integration of ALC was conducted and found not to change the performance of EasyCare Online. Accordingly, 73 MNS and 73 MNR ResMed compatible devices function correctly with EasyCare Online. These changes do not affect the safety and efficacy of the device, as the EasyCare Online uses the existing data types and communications mechanisms between therapy devices as supported by the predicate device (K123557).

## Non Clinical Testing
Design and non-clinical verification activities were performed on EasyCare Online as a result of the updated risk analysis and design requirements. Verification testing included end-to-end testing to verify data transfer integrity between end user browser PC and EasyCare Online was successfully implemented. All tests confirmed the product met the predetermined acceptance criteria. ResMed has determined that new version of EasyCare Online is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, EasyCare Online (K123557).
Side-by-Side testing using the same data showed that both the predicate device ApneaLink Plus (K083575) and EasyCare Online produced the same home sleep test data. EasyCare Online met the predetermined pass/fail criteria.
