Intended Use
The intended use of the "Oxi-Snap" device is to screen patients for apnea and snoring and to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of apnea and snoring. The Oxi-SNAP testing system is only intended for short term monitoring such as to record the oximetry level continuously during the night. The "Oxi-SNAP" system is not intended as a substitute for full polysomnography when additional parameters such as sleep stages, limb movements or EEG activity are required. The target population is patients who are suspected of apnea and/or complain about snoring. The majority of the screenings are going to take place at the patient's home, although some may take place in a sleep laboratory. Both pediatric and adult patients may be tested. CAUTION: Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Use of this device must be under the direct supervision of a qualified adult (parent or guardian) or health care practitioner trained in the use of the Oxi-Snap device.
Device Story
Oxi-Snap records snoring sounds and oxygen saturation (SpO2) for apnea screening. Input: snoring sounds via microphone/cannula and SpO2 via finger probe (Palco Model 305). Data recorded on Sony TDC-D7 DAT tape recorder. Used at home or sleep lab; patient-operated (with adult supervision for pediatrics). Post-sleep, tape returned to service center for playback and analysis. O2 saturation levels displayed on screen during analysis to provide additional apnea criteria. Benefits: provides clinician with objective SpO2 data alongside snoring analysis to aid in apnea diagnosis.
Clinical Evidence
Bench and user testing performed. No clinical trial data provided. Testing confirmed device safety, effectiveness, and ease of use for home/lab setup.
Technological Characteristics
System consists of Sony TDC-D7 DAT recorder, microphone/cannula, and Palco Model 305 oximeter with finger probe. Energy source: 120V AC-DC converter or batteries. Electrical safety per UL-2601; EMI per FCC Part 15 Class A. Data acquisition: two channels (snoring sounds and SpO2).
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric and adult patients suspected of apnea or complaining of snoring. Used for short-term screening and quantitative/qualitative analysis of apnea and snoring. Not for use when sleep stages, limb movements, or EEG activity are required.
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.

## 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
1. Identification of the Device
Proprietary-Trade Name: "Oxi-Snap"
Classification Name: Apnea/Snoring Recording and Analysis Device and Oximeter.
Common/Usual Name: Snoring and Apnea Recording and Analysis Device.
2. Equivalent legally marketed devices
This product is similar in design and function to the "Snap Testing Device" K944524, and incorporates a Pulse Oximeter, Palco Model 305, K943842 and "Mesam IV device" K901466.
3. Indications for Use:
The intended use of the "Oxi-Snap" device is to screen patients for apnea and snoring and to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of apnea and snoring.
The Oxi-SNAP testing system is only intended for short term monitoring such as to record the oximetry level continuously during the night.
The "Oxi-SNAP" system is not intended as a substitute for full polysomnography when additional parameters such as sleep stages, limb movements or EEG activity are required.
The target population is patients who are suspected of apnea and/or complain about snoring. The majority of the screenings are going to take place at the patient's home, although some may take place in a sleep laboratory. Both pediatric and adult patients may be tested.
4. Description of the Device:
This notification is for a modification to the existing device, the "Snap Testing Device" the modified device is called the "Oxi-Snap" The modification involves the addition of the ability to record and analyze, (along with snoring sounds) the oxygen saturation level of the patient being monitored. An FDA cleared oximeter (Palco Model 305, K943842) is connected to the currently used DAT tape recorder, and the oxygen saturation is recorded while the patient is under test. Later, during the analysis phase, O2 SAT levels appear on the playback analysis screen, thereby allowing an additional criterion of apnea to be used.
{1}
5. Safety and Effectiveness, comparison to predicate device. The results of bench and user testing indicates that the modified device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and provides the additional benefit of giving the clinician more information about the patient's snoring and apnea condition. The additional information is the patient's oxygen saturation level. The modified device is easy for the user to set up at home or in the sleep laboratory. The modification involves the addition of a portable oximeter to the patient setup. The oximeter is connected to the DAT tape recorder along with the usual microphone/cannula apparatus and the oximeter sensor is slipped over the patient's finger in the usual manner. The patient turns on the tape recorder, then goes to sleep. Apnea and snoring events are then recorded. After awakening, the patient returns the tape and the equipment to the analysis service center, where the tape is analyzed.

7. Conclusion
After analyzing both bench and user testing data, it is the conclusion of SNAP Laboratories that the "Oxi-Snap" testing snoring and apnea testing device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and has no new indications for use, thus rendering it substantially equivalent to the predicate Snap Testing Device.
