AcuPebble Ox100 is a wearable device intended for use in the recording, analysis, displaying, exporting, and storage of biophysical parameters to aid in the evaluation of adult patients with, or with suspected, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The device is primarily intended for home setting use (although can also be used in healthcare settings) under the direction of a Healthcare Professional (HCP).
Device Story
AcuPebble Ox100 is a wearable home sleep apnea test (HSAT) system. It consists of a neck-worn physiological sensor (identical to AcuPebble SA100), a finger-worn pulse oximetry sensor, a mobile app, and cloud-based analysis software. The neck sensor captures acoustic signals (heart sounds, respiration, snoring) and movement; the finger sensor captures PPG signals. The mobile app guides the patient, collects data, and uploads it to the cloud. Cloud software analyzes signals to derive OSA diagnostic parameters (AHI, ODI). Healthcare professionals access results via a web interface to evaluate patients. The device aids in OSA diagnosis by providing objective physiological data, potentially reducing the need for full polysomnography in appropriate cases.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993), electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), home healthcare environment safety (IEC 60601-1-11), and software validation (IEC 62304). SpO2 performance is compliant with ISO 80601-2-61.
Technological Characteristics
Neck sensor: piezoelectric microphones; Finger sensor: LED/photodiode (PPG). Connectivity: Bluetooth to mobile app, then cloud-based analysis. Power: Rechargeable Li-poly (neck) and Li-ion (finger) batteries. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1. Software: Moderate level of concern. Non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients with or suspected of having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Intended for use in home or healthcare settings under the direction of a healthcare professional.
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 Esther Rodriguez-Villegas:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see

AcuPebble Ox100 is a wearable device intended for use in the recording, analysis, displaying, exporting, and storage of biophysical parameters to aid in the evaluation of adult patients with, or with suspected, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The device is primarily intended for home setting use (although can also be used in healthcare settings) under the direction of a Healthcare Professional (HCP).
### 2. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
AcuPebble Ox100 is prescribed by a Health Care Professional for the patient to use in the home as a 'home sleep apnea test' (HSAT). AcuPebble Ox100 comprises: 1- A small physiological sensing device, identical to the previously cleared device AcuPebble SA100 (K210480) that is worn on the front of the neck around the suprasternal notch area (the "AcuPebble SA100 sensor"), and attaches with a single use biocompatible adhesive tape (same one as for "AcuPebble SA100" too); 2- Another physiological wireless sensing device ("AcuPebble finger oximetry sensor") worn on the finger; 3- A mobile device app (the "AcuPebble Ox100 app") that guides the patient through the steps of the test, collects the data from the sensor (continuously in the case of the "AcuPebble SA100 sensor", and at the end of the test in the case of the "AcuPebble finger oximetry sensor"), and uploads them in the cloud ; 4- A cloud-based software that analyses the signals from the "AcuPebble SA100 sensor" (already cleared as part of K210480); 5- A web app user interface for healthcare professionals where they can set up a study and see the results, including different physiological channel traces and OSA diagnostic parameters. Outputs of the device relevant to its intended use are further described in the comparison table below.
