### Device Description:

The Orion software is a web-based application that allows qualified healthcare professionals to view therapy information and adjust settings for compatible Resmed positive airway pressure (PAP) devices used in the management of sleep-disordered breathing. The system operates through secure, encrypted communication with compatible devices and is intended for use in clinical and homecare environments by trained personnel. The software version included in this submission is Orion Version 1.0.

Orion is a cloud-based software platform accessed through a secure web interface and supported by a secure cloud-hosted backend environment that manages data processing and device communication. Orion supports secure exchange of patient and therapy data with authorized external systems through authenticated interfaces. Compatible PAP devices transmit therapy data to the secure cloud environment using encrypted wireless communication. Authorized users access Orion through authenticated login with role-based access control. When a clinician initiates a therapy setting adjustment, the request is validated and securely transmitted to the compatible PAP device.

Orion is a multiple function device software product containing software functions that are considered medical device software functions as well as non-device software “other” functions. In accordance with FDA guidance “Multiple Function Device Products: Policy and Considerations,” this submission focuses on the device software function subject to FDA oversight, which is the remote configuration of therapy settings for compatible Resmed positive airway pressure (PAP) devices. The remaining “other” functions consist of therapy data display, patient record management, reporting, user access controls, and system interoperability features that support system operation and do not independently perform medical device functionality. These “other” functions do not adversely impact the safety or effectiveness of the device software function under review.

### Indication For Use:

Orion is a software platform intended to assist healthcare professionals in the management, and treatment of patients who have been diagnosed with sleep-disordered breathing by:

- Displaying and analyzing device and therapeutic information that has been transmitted remotely from the patient’s compatible device to optimize patient care management and
