Device Story
Nox Sleep System is a multi-channel physiological recording system for sleep assessment. Components include Nox A1 Recorder (patient-worn, battery-operated), Nox C1 Access Point (mains-powered, remote), Noxturnal App (mobile interface), and Noxturnal PSG software (PC-based). Inputs include EEG, EOG, EMG, respiratory effort (bands/belts), airflow (cannula/thermocouple), SpO2, pulse rate, and body position. System records, displays, and analyzes data; supports manual and automatic scoring of sleep stages, apneas, hypopneas, limb movements, and bruxism-related events. Used in hospitals, clinics, or homes by trained medical professionals. Output is analyzed data and reports for physician review. Automatic scoring assists diagnosis but requires manual verification. Benefits include efficient sleep disorder screening and diagnostic assessment.

### Device Description
The Nox Sleep System is intended for patients undergoing physiological measurements, for the assessment of sleep quality and the screening for sleep disorders.
The Nox Sleep System does not provide any alarms and is not intended to be used for continuous monitoring where failure to operate can cause injuries or death of the patient.
The basic Nox Sleep System consists of two recording/acquisition devices (Nox A1 Recorder and Nox C1 Access Point), a software running on a PC (Noxturnal PSG), an Android application (Noxturnal App) running on mobile platform, along with sensors and accessories. The system supports full Polysomnography (PSG) studies both in ambulatory and online/attended setups but also more simple sleep study setups, recording only few channels. The ambulatory sleep studies may take place in the clinic or in the home environment, but the online/attended sleep studies are only conducted in the clinical environment.
The Nox A 1 Recorder is a small battery-operated recording unit that is worn by the patient during the study. It records signals from patient applied sensors that connect to the unit but also supports recording of signals from auxiliary devices over Bluetooth. The Nox A1 Recorder allows for communication over Bluetooth with the Noxturnal App during ambulatory setup and with the Nox C1 Access Point during online setup. The recorder is intended to be worn over clothing.
New accessories and sensors as part of this submission are the Nox A 1 EEG 5 Lead Gold Electrode Cable and Nox A1 EEG Head Cable that are used for recording of EEG/EOG. These components are in direct contact with the patient.
The Nox C1 Access Point is a separate mains powered unit located remotely from the patient that allows for recording of signals from auxiliary devices. It supports communication over LAN/Ethernet to the Noxturnal PSG, and communication with the Nox A1 Recorder and Noxturnal App over Bluetooth. The Nox C1 Access Point is only used for online study setup and is thus not intended to be used in the home environment.
The Noxturnal App is used as a mobile interface to the Nox A1 Recorder and Nox C1 Access Point. The communications are via Bluetooth link. The app is normally used in the beginning of a sleep study, for basic tasks such as device configuration, starting a recording, checking the signal quality of signals being recorded and marking events during bio calibration.
The Noxturnal PSG is used for configuration of the Nox recording/acquisition devices, to download a study from ambulatory recording or to collect an online study. The software supports the viewing, retrieving, storing and processing of data recorded/collected, manual and automatic analysis and reporting on the results from the recorded studies. The purpose with the automatic scoring function in Noxturnal PSG is to assist the trained physician in the diagnosis of a patient. It is not intended to provide the trained physician with a diagnostic results. The type of automatic analysis events scored by Noxturnal PSG include: Sleep Stages (Wake, N1, N2, N3, REM), Apneas, Hypopneas, Apnea Cassification (Obstructive, Mixed and Central Apneas), Limb Movements, Periodic Limb Movements, SpO2 Desaturation Events. and potential Bruxism-Related Events.
The result of the automatic analysis/scoring must always be manually verified by the trained physician prior to diagnosis.

### Indication for Use
The Nox Sleep System is used as an aid in the diagnosis of different sleep disorders and for the assessment of sleep.
The Nox Sleep System is used to measure, record, display, organize, analyze, summarize, and retrieve physiological parameters during sleep and wake.
The Nox Sleep System allows the user to decide on the complexity of the study by varying the number and types of physiological signals measured.
The Nox Sleep System allows for generation of user/pre-defined reports based on subject's data.
The user of the Nox Sleep System are medical professionals who have received training in the areas of hospital/clinical procedures, physiological monitoring of human subjects, or sleep disorder investigation.
The intended environments are hospitals, institutions, sleep clinics, or other test environments, including patient's home.
### Technological Characteristics and Comparison
For the purpose of demonstrating substantially equivalency of the Nox Sleep System the Compumedics Somté PSG (K072201) System from Compumedics Limited has been selected as the primary predicate device.
Indication for Use: "The Somté PSG is intended for use in the recording, displaying, analysis, printing and storage of human biological parameters such as heart and muscle activity, eye movement, breathing and body movements to assist in the diagnosis of various sleep disorders or sleep related respiratory or cardiac disorders. The Somté PSG is designed for ambulatory and mobile operation and can be used in either the patient's home, the hospital or other environments, thus enabling patients to be investigated under as realistic conditions as possible. The Somté PSG is only to be used under the direction of a physician. "
The primary predicate Compumedics Somté PSG and the new device Nox Sleep System are both used for recording of physiological parameters of various origin to assist with diagnosis of sleep disorders/sleep related disorders and support the same types of sleep studies, i.e. full Polysomnography (PSG) studies both in ambulatory and online/attended setups but also more simple sleep study setups, recording only few channels. The intended environments and user groups are the same for both the primary predicate and the new device, and both devices are for prescription use only. The overall methodology relating to how the sleep studies are conducted and the recorded data displayed and analysed is also very similar for both the new device and the primary predicate.
It is thus concluded that the intended use of the Nox Sleep System may be regarded the same as that of the Compumedics Somté PSG System.
The comparison table below is provided as a summary of the most relevant characteristics of the Nox Sleep System relative to the primary predicate Compumedics Somté PSG.
