Intended Use
The Maxxi Snore Sensor is a device intended to acquire snore bursts. It responds to snoring and other sounds in the audio range picked up through the skin and convert them to a small analog voltage that provides an indication of the presence of these sound/vibration bursts. This sensor is intended to be used with polysomnography devices and adult patients. Intended to be use in a sleep laboratory, clinics or hospitals.
Device Story
Piezoelectric sensor captures mechanical vibrations/sounds from patient neck surface during sleep; converts vibrations into small analog voltage signals; output transmitted via DIN 42-802 connector to polysomnography (PSG) recording device. Used in sleep labs, clinics, or hospitals by clinicians; output displayed as snore bursts on PSG monitor; assists physicians in qualifying/quantifying snoring events to diagnose sleep disorders. Benefits include non-invasive monitoring of respiratory sounds to support clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Comparative performance testing against the predicate device evaluated dimensions, cable length, visual conditions, and signal output (frequency and amplitude). Results demonstrated that the Maxxi Snore Sensor provides equivalent signals within acceptable ranges (±15% for frequency/amplitude) compared to the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Piezoelectric sensing element; TPC-ET (thermoplastic elastomer) housing; insulated Teflon wire; DIN 42-802 touch-proof connector. Signal output: AC signal, 0-500 Hz frequency range, 0-500uV amplitude sensitivity. Dimensions: 18mm sensor diameter, 3ft/7ft cable lengths. Complies with ISO 13485:2003, ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), IEC 60601-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients undergoing polysomnography in sleep laboratories, clinics, or hospitals to acquire snore bursts for the assessment of sleep-disordered breathing.
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.

Dear Eduardo Faria:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
