Intended Use
The intended use of the "Snap Model 5™" device is to screen patients for apnea and snoring and to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of apnea and snoring. The "Snap Model 5™" testing system is only intended for short term monitoring such as to record the oximetry and snoring sounds continuously during the night. The 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: US Federal law 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 "Snap Model 5TM" device.
Device Story
Device records snoring sounds, oximetry levels, and pulse rate/value; inputs collected via microphone, cannula, and finger-worn Nonin Xpod oximeter sensor. System utilizes personal computer for digital recording; replaces specialized microcomputer/Zip drive of predicate. Patient operates device at home or in sleep lab; records data overnight. Data returned to analysis service center on disk for evaluation. Output provides quantitative/qualitative analysis of apnea and snoring events to assist physicians in screening. Benefits include convenient home-based screening for sleep-disordered breathing.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing and user testing performed. No clinical trial data provided. Results indicate the modified device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Digital recording system using personal computer hard disk/floppy disk. Sensors: microphone, cannula, and Nonin Xpod oximeter. Electrical safety: UL listed PC. EMI: FCC Part 15 Class B. Connectivity: Standalone recording with offline analysis at service center.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric and adult patients suspected of apnea or complaining of snoring. Used for short-term, continuous overnight monitoring of oximetry and snoring sounds. Not intended as a substitute for full polysomnography.
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: "Snap Model 5 TM" Classification Name: 73MNR Apnea/Snoring Recording and analysis Device and 74DQA, 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 "Digi-Snap TM" Testing Device," K984169, and incorporates a the same Pulse Oximeter, Nonin Model Xpod, K893221.
- 3. The intended use of the "Snap Model 5TM" device is to screen patients for apnea and snoring and to provide quantitative and qualitative analysis of apnea and snoring. The "Snap Model 5TM" testing system is only intended for short term monitoring such as to record the oximetry and snoring sounds continuously during the night. The 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: US Federal law 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 "Snap Model 5TM" device.
- 4. Description of the Device: This notification is for a modification to the existing device, the "Digi-Snap™" Testing Device. The modified device is called the "Snap Model 5™4" The modification involves the use of a personal computer with certain options installed instead of the specialized microcomputer and Zip drive system.
- న్న 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. The modified device is easy for the user to set up at home or in the sleep laboratory. The modification involves the use of a fully digital recording technique. The oximeter is connected to the unit along with
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 unit, then goes to sleep. Apnea and snoring events are then recorded. After awakening, the patient returns the disk and the equipment to the analysis service center, where the disk is analyzed. If the patient's own personal computer was used, only a disk is returned to the analysis center for evaluation.
