The Somnitor 32K Activity Monitor is intended to monitor physical activity with an ambulatory monitoring and data logging device and after downloading the data to a personal computer, determine the periods when the patient was awake or sleeping using a validated algorithm.
Device Story
Wrist-worn ambulatory activity monitor; contains movement detector and internal data logger. Device records physical activity data; data downloaded to personal computer for analysis. Software processes data using validated algorithms to classify sleep/wake periods. Used by patients for ambulatory monitoring; data analyzed by healthcare providers or technicians. Output provides sleep/wake patterns to assist in clinical assessment of sleep activity.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and performance similarity to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Wrist-worn ambulatory device; includes movement detector and internal data storage. Connectivity via PC interface for data download. Software-based analysis using multiple validated algorithms.
Indications for Use
Indicated for monitoring physical activity in patients to determine periods of wakefulness and sleep via ambulatory data logging and subsequent PC-based analysis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A biofeedback device is an instrument that provides a visual or auditory signal corresponding to the status of one or more of a patient's physiological parameters (e.g., brain alpha wave activity, muscle activity, skin temperature, etc.) so that the patient can control voluntarily these physiological parameters.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter when it is a prescription battery powered device that is indicated for relaxation training and muscle reeducation and prescription use, subject to § 882.9.

## A. LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES
The Somnitor 32K Sleep Activity Monitor is similar in design, intended use, and performance to the Mini-Motion Logger Actigraph by Ambulatory Monitoring which was cleared by FDA as K854030. This 510(k) Summary will summarize the basis for a decision that the Somnitor 32K is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
## B. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Somnitor 32K Activity Monitor is a wrist worn device consisting of an activity (movement) detector and a data logger with internal data storage. The device is used with a personal computer running software which can download data from the data logger and analyze it according to a validated algorithm to determine periods of sleep and wakefulness. Four algorithms for assessing sleep activity data may be used for analysis, including the Bounded Trigger algorithm, the Cole algorithm, the Sadeh algorithm, and a new Neurim algorithm.
## C. INTENDED USE
The Somnitor 32K Activity Monitor is intended to monitor physical activity with an ambulatory monitoring and data logging device and after downloading the data to a personal computer, determine the periods when the patient was awake or sleeping using a validated algorithm.

Dear Dr. Athey:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
