## Substantial Equivalence/Device Technological Characteristics and Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The SLUMBERGEAR™ headgear is intended to secure masks, nasal pillow systems, and cannulas to the patient's face. The masks, nasal pillow systems or cannulas supply positive pressure ventilation via tubing connected to a CPAP or bi-level generator.
SLUMBERGEAR™ is comprised of Velcro@ hook and loop fabric and Breath-O-Prene.™ The fabric is a smooth Lycra on the underside and Velcro® loop fabric on the outer side. The fabric has 4-way stretch and does not contain any latex material.
SLUMBERGEAR™ has the following similarities to the previously cleared predicate devices:
-the same intended use
-the same operating principles
-the same technology, same or similar materials in contact with patient's skin -the same type of manufacturing process
SLUMBERGEAR™ has the following differences to the previously cleared predicate devices: -seamless one-piece design with integrated chinstrap
-top of the head and back of the head/neck Velcro® closures
SLUMBERGEAR's™ differences add to the effectiveness and safety of the headgear by stabilizing the respiratory device to help eliminate shifting, air escape and mouth breathing during sleep. The top of the head and the back of the head/neck closures permit entering and/or exiting of the headgear while the respiratory device remains secured to the headgear. If ever necessary, the back of the head/neck closure would provide a quick efficient Emergency exit.
## Performance Data:
SLUMBERGEAR™ headgear was tested to determine customer satisfaction regarding comfort, stability, and convenience when compared to other headgear on the market. SLUMBERGEAR™ was found to be safe and effective.
The results of the performance data show SLUMBERGEAR™ headgear is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and other headgear previously cleared for market. See Appendix A for data.
There are no recognized consensus standards for headgear.
## Conclusion:
SLUMBERGEAR™ headgear is substantially equivalent to the headgear included with REMstar Pro with C-Flex CPAP System K021861 and the headgear included with Mirage Vista™ Mask K031047.
