Intended Use

SleepCheckRx is indicated to record a patient's respiratory pattern during sleep for the purpose of pre-screening patients for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. The device is designed for use in home-screening of adults (≥ 22 years of age) with suspected possible sleep breathing disorders. Results can be used to assist the healthcare professional in determining the need for further diagnosis and evaluation. The system is not intended as a substitute for full polysomnography when additional parameters such as sleep stages, limb movements, or EEG activity are required.

Device Story

SleepCheckRx is a smartphone-based software application for home pre-screening of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The device uses the smartphone's native microphone to record breathing and snore sounds for at least 6 hours while the patient sleeps. Patients input demographic data (age, sex, height, weight, neck circumference) and complete a STOP-Bang questionnaire. The recorded audio and patient data are processed by locked machine learning algorithms to assess OSA risk. The system provides a binary output: 'Minimal to Mild Risk' (AHI < 15) or 'Moderate to Severe Risk' (AHI ≥ 15). Healthcare professionals (HCPs) manage access via a secure cloud portal, providing codes to patients. Results are shared with both the patient and the HCP to guide decisions regarding further diagnostic evaluation. The device benefits patients by facilitating early identification of OSA risk in a home setting, potentially streamlining the path to clinical diagnosis.

Clinical Evidence

Prospective, multi-center study (n=228 subjects, 220 analyzable). Compared SleepCheckRx algorithm output against simultaneous Type II (in-home) PSG diagnosis (AASM 2017 guidelines). Primary endpoint: agreement between device and PSG. Results at AHI ≥ 15 threshold: sensitivity 89.3%, specificity 77.6%. No adverse events reported.

Technological Characteristics

Software-only application running on consumer smartphones. Uses native smartphone microphone for acoustic sensing. Connectivity via secure cloud portal for HCP management. Locked machine learning algorithm. No direct patient contact. No specific materials or energy sources beyond smartphone hardware.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults (≥ 22 years) with suspected sleep breathing disorders for pre-screening of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome in the home environment. Not intended as a substitute for full polysomnography.

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.

PREDICATE DEVICE | | | Predicate Device(s): | DROWZLE (K173974) | {4}------------------------------------------------ ## IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION SleepCheckRx is a software application used by healthcare providers to pre-screen adults at home for the risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). The application is accessed via a compatible smartphone and uses the device's inbuilt microphone to record breathing and snore sounds while the user is asleep, over a minimum duration of 6 hours. This audio recording, in conjunction with basic information about the user, is analyzed by locked machine learnt software algorithms to provide a risk assessment of the presence of OSA. Prior to use, the patient installs SleepCheckRx on a compatible smartphone and activates the application by entering a code issued to their Healthcare Professional (HCP) through a secure cloud server portal. The patient enters basic information including date of birth, biological sex, height, weight, and neck circumference. The patient is also required to answer a STOP-Bang questionnaire. The phone is placed on a nightstand as directed, and when the user is ready to go to sleep, they initiate the software that begins a recording. SleepCheckRx then captures breathing and snore sounds continuously throughout the night until the user stops the recording once they have awoken in the morning (a minimum of 6 hours of recording is required). In the event of a successful recording, SleepCheckRx provides the user with a binary outcome of either 'Minimal to Mild Risk of OSA' (AHI<15) or 'Moderate to Severe Risk of OSA' (AHI ≥15). SleepCheckRx requires a healthcare professional (HCP) to access a secure cloud server portal to provide the patient with an access code to use the app downloaded from the Apple App Store. The results of the patient's recording and the STOP-Bang questionnaire are shared with the patient and the HCP, for the HCP to then determine if further investigation and evaluation is required. ## V. INDICATIONS FOR USE SleepCheckRx is indicated to record a patient's respiratory pattern during sleep for the purpose of pre-screening patients for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. The device is designed for use in home-screening of adults (≥ 22 years of age) with suspected possible sleep breathing disorders. Results can be used to assist the healthcare professional in determining the need for further diagnosis and evaluation. The system is not intended as a substitute for full polysomnography when additional parameters such as sleep stages, limb movements, or EEG activity are required. ### VI.

Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices. Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff. February 3, 2016. ### VIII. CLINICAL DATA A prospective, multi-center, single-staged study on the SleepCheckRx algorithm was conducted on 228 adult analyzable subjects. The clinical study used a binomial endpoint comparing the presence and severity of OSA, by using sleep sounds captured and analyzed by the SleepCheckRx algorithm and comparing them to a simultaneous PSG diagnosis (gold standard). PSG diagnosis was established by independent scorers, in accordance with the Type II (in-home) American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) 2017 Guidelines. Sleep sound recordings were captured by the SleepCheckRx algorithm throughout the night (minimum of 6 hours) according to the overnight sleep study protocol. Sleep sounds were recorded by a compatible smartphone (loaded with the SleepCheckRx sound recording algorithm) placed on the nightstand, simultaneously with PSG. Each sleep study was scored by a qualified independent sleep scorer. The mean age of all subjects was 50 years, with a higher percentage of males in the study (63%). The mean BMI was 29.8 and the mean neck circumference of 39.4. Results of the study (n=220) demonstrated an agreement between SleepCheckRx and clinical diagnosis (using 2 independent PSG scorers) of 109 from 122 subjects (sensitivity 89.3%) with moderate to severe risk of OSA (AHI ≥15), and an agreement of 76 from 98 subjects (specificity 77.6%) with minimal to mild risk of OSA (AHI<15). There were no adverse events or adverse device effects reported during the study. ### IX. Substantial Equivalence discussion SleepCheckRx has the same intended use as the predicate DROWZLE. Both software platforms are intended to record a patient's respiratory pattern during sleep for the purpose of prescreening patients for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome. {9}------------------------------------------------ Both devices are designed for use in home-screening adults with suspected possible sleep breathing disorders. The results of both devices are used to assist the healthcare professional in determining the need for further diagnosis and evaluation. Both devices report the risk of OSA based on a binary output, i.e., either minimal to mild risk of OSA (AHI<15), or moderate to severe risk of OSA (AHI ≥15). SleepCheckRx is supported by clinical data demonstrating a sensitivity and specificity at the AHI ≥ 15 threshold of 89.3% and 77.6% respectively (n=220) when compared to clinical diagnosis. These results are comparable to the DROWZLE device which reported a sensitivity of 93.7% and specificity of 63% (AHI>15). #### CONCLUSIONS X. Based on the information provided in this submission, the SleepCheckRx is substantially equivalent to the predicate DROWZLE device.
