Intended Use

The Nellcor Puritan Bennett Suzanne is intended for use in collecting and recording physiological data to be used in diagnosing sleep disorders. A pediatric through adult patient population is intended for the Suzanne, which can be used in either home or hospital environments.

Device Story

Suzanne is a portable polysomnograph system for sleep disorder diagnosis. It collects physiological inputs including EEG, ECG, pressure, thoracic/abdominal movements, breath detection (thermistor), airflow (pneumotachometer), ambient sound, body position, and ambient light. Signals are captured via headbox amplifiers and stored on a Flash card or transmitted to a computer via serial port. Used in home or clinical settings; operated by clinicians. In home environments, a setup unit verifies system function and timing. In clinical settings, data may be recorded directly to a computer via PC software. Output provides clinicians with physiological data to assist in diagnosing sleep disorders, facilitating patient management.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were required. Bench testing confirmed functional performance specifications and signal readability. Software was validated per 1998 FDA guidance. Verification included connecting the device to a healthy person to confirm appropriate signal generation.

Technological Characteristics

Portable polysomnograph system; internal battery powered. Components include headboxes for signal amplification, Flash card storage, and serial communication port. Captures multi-modal physiological signals (EEG, ECG, respiratory, etc.). Software-based data recording and management. Complies with 1993 draft reviewer guidance for cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological devices.

Indications for Use

Indicated for pediatric through adult patients requiring physiological data collection for the diagnosis of sleep disorders.

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.

Devices of this type have a classification code of MNR, Ventilatory Effort Recorder (21 CFR 868.2375). #### 14.0 - Intended Use The Nellcor Puritan Bennett Suzanne is intended for use in collecting physiological data to be used in diagnosing sleep disorders. A pediatric through adult patient population is intended for the Suzanne, which can be used in either home or hospital environments. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### 15.0 - Device Description The Suzanne System is composed of a data recorder that contains the electronics and software necessary to capture the physiological information of each sensor and to store this information in a Flash card it to a computer via a serial communication port. The information that can be recorded by the Suzanne System is : - · EEG signals - · ECG signals - · Pressure signals - · Thoracic movements - Abdominal movements . - · Breath detection (through bucco-nasal thermistor) - · Flow (through pneumotachometer) - · Envelope of ambient sound - · Body position - · Ambient light detection The signals are amplified by different amplifiers contained in elements of the system known as headboxes. When used in a home environment, the data is recorded in the flash card and the clinican uses a setup unit to check that the system works correctly and to set the recording starting time. When used in a clinical environment, the system can be used as described above or data can be recorded to a computer with the use of a PC application software. The system is powered by an internal battery. #### 16.0 - Predicate Device Equivalence The Nellcor Puritan Bennett SleepWizard is the predicate device for the Nellcor Puritan Bennett Suzanne. #### 17.0 - Performance Testing performed to confirm that the Suzann is capable of meeting its stated Functional testing v performances specifications and that the device output is readable. The Suzanne System passed all tests. Testing was performed to confirm that the Suzanne System complies with the November 1993 draft "Reviewer Guidance for Premarket submissions" published by the Division of Cardiovascular, Respiratory, and Neurological Devices. The Suzanne System passed all tests. All software was tested in accordance with the May 29, 1998 "Guidance for the Content of Picmarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" published by the Office Evaluation. The Suzanne System passed all tests. No clinical studies were required to support a substantial equivalence determination, except for connecting the device to a healthy person and running the system to verify that readable, appropriate signals were generated. #### 18.0 - Conclusion Nelloor Puritan Bennett concludes that the Suzanne meets its stated specifications, operates safely in its intended environment, and is effective in fulfilling its intended use. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
