1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This manual is part of the WatchPAT™200 Unified system.

1.1 Intended Use / Indications for Use


The WatchPAT™200U (WP200U) device is a non-invasive home care device for use with
patients suspected to have sleep related breathing disorders. The WP200U is a diagnostic
aid for the detection of sleep related breathing disorders, sleep staging (Rapid Eye
Movement (REM) Sleep, Light Sleep, Deep Sleep and Wake), snoring level and body
position. The WP200U generates a peripheral arterial tonometry ("PAT") Respiratory
Disturbance Index ("PRDI"), Apnea-Hypopnea index ("PAHI"), PAT sleep staging
identification (PSTAGES) and optional snoring level and body position discrete states from
an external integrated snoring and body position (SBP) sensor. The WP200U's PSTAGES
and SBP provide supplemental information to its PRDI/PAHI. The WP200U's PSTAGES
and SBP are not intended to be used as the sole or primary basis for diagnosing any sleep
related breathing disorder, prescribing treatment, or determining whether additional
diagnostic assessment is warranted.

The WatchPAT™200U device is not indicated for children less than 12 years old.

WatchPAT™200U System 8 Operation Manual


2 OVERVIEW

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is considered a major public health problem.
The prevalence of the syndrome is estimated at 2% to 5% in the adult population. It is
characterized by recurrent events of complete or partial obstruction of the upper airways
during sleep, often leading to hypoxemia, and/or arousals associated with sympathetic
nervous system activation. The diagnosis and assessment of the sleep apnea patient is based
on the Respiratory Disturbance Index (RDI), the number of Apneas, Hypopneas and
Respiratory Effort Related Arousals (RERA) per hour of sleep, along with sleep
architecture. The common consequences of this sleep disruption are daytime sleepiness,
poor daytime performance and increased vulnerability to accidents. Cardiovascular
complications such as systemic/pulmonary hypertension, ischemic heart disease and
arrhythmias are the major sequel of OSAS in the adult population.

The WP200U is worn on the wrist and is utilizing a plethysmographic based finger–
mounted probe that measures the PAT® (Peripheral Arterial Tone) signal. The PAT® signal
is a measurement of the pulsatile volume changes in the fingertip arteries which reflects the
relative state of the arterial vasomotor activity, and thus indirectly the level of sympathetic
activation. Peripheral arterial vasoconstriction, which mirrors sympathetic activation, is
shown as attenuation in the PAT® signal amplitude.
The same probe measures RED and IR channels used for the measurement of SpO2 signal.
The PAT®and SpO2 signals are recorded continuously and stored on an embedded micro
SD card, together with data from a built-in actigraph (embedded in the WP200U).
Following the sleep study, the recordings are automatically downloaded and analyzed in an
offline procedure using the proprietary zzzPAT software.

The zzzPAT algorithms use the four WP200U channels (PAT®, Pulse Rate, Oxygen
saturation and actigraphy) for the detection of sleep related breathing disorders and sleep
staging (Rapid Eye Movement (REM), Light Sleep, Deep Sleep and Wake). The zzzPAT
uses WP200U's snoring and body position channels (SBP) to generate snoring level and
body position discrete states. The use of SBP is optional and according to physician
preference.

The software issues comprehensive reports of the study, with statistics and graphic
presentation of the results. The whole night data can be viewed and the automatically
detected events can be revised manually.

 Actigraphy (movement)
 Acoustic decibel detector for Snoring evaluation (optional)
 Body Position (optional)
The overnight sleep study data is stored on an embedded micro SD card in the
WatchPAT™ device. After the study is recorded, the data is downloaded from the
WatchPAT™ device through the USB cable using the zzzPAT software. The zzzPAT
software, utilizing automatic algorithms, detects respiratory and other events that occurred
during sleep as well as periods of REM, deep sleep, light sleep and wakefulness. The pulse
rate signal is derived from the PAT® signal and used in the automatic analysis. The
software issues comprehensive detailed reports of the study. The whole night data can be
viewed on the PC screen and the automatically detected events can be revised manually.

An optional tamper-proof patient identification function is available using a custom


bracelet whose presence during the night verifies that the identified patient is indeed the
one sleeping with the device (see Tamper-Proof Testing with WatchPAT™ Device
Tamper-Proof Testing with section).

The patient normally sleeps only one night with the WatchPAT™ device unless an optional
multi-night option is selected which enables an up to 3 nights study with the same device
(see Multi-night study section).

2.4 Built-In Self-Diagnostic Procedures

4 OPTIONAL FUNCTIONS

4.1 Using the integrated Snore & Body Position Sensor


The integrated sensor consists internally of two sensors: a snore sensor and a body position
sensor.

A - Integrated sensor Sensor Attachment

The integrated sensor is powered by the WatchPAT™ device and does not require a
battery. It is automatically activated by the WatchPAT™ device when plugged into the
Snore & Body position port.
The snore sensor is an acoustic decibel detector. It uses a very sensitive microphone that
responds to snoring and other sounds in the audio range and converts them to a small
analog voltage that provides a clear, reliable indication of the presence of these sounds.
The body position sensor uses a 3-axis accelerometer that provides a signal directly
proportional to the patient's sleeping posture (supine, prone, right, left and sit).
See Appendix A: WP200U Integrated snoring + Body Positioning Sensor Operating .

4.2 Tamper-Proof Testing with WatchPAT™ Device


The WatchPAT™ device Tamper-Proof bracelet is an add-on accessory used to
authenticate the patient doing a sleep study and assure the study is recorded from the right
person.
The bracelet is a single use small plastic band designed to be worn around the wrist of the
hand. It contains an electronic circuit that signals to the WatchPAT™ device the integrity
of the bracelet and a unique identification. During the night the bracelet is connected to the
WatchPAT™ device using a small cable (see Figure 10).

WatchPAT™200U System 23 Operation Manual


Cable for bracelet

Bracelet

Figure 10 – WatchPAT™ Device with Tamper-Proof Bracelet

Before the device is given to the patient for home sleep study, the technician identifies the
patient and secures the bracelet to the patient’s wrist by a tamper-proof connector that
ensures the bracelet will not be removed without cutting the Bracelet.

Figure 11 – Bracelet on Patient's Hand

When preparing the WatchPAT™ device for a sleep study, the technician pairs the Tamper-
Proof Bracelet and the device and registers the bracelet's unique ID in the WatchPAT™
device (see Appendix B: Tamper-proof testing with WaTCHPAT™200U).
The patient can wear the Bracelet for several days, continuing normal day-to-day activity
until he is ready to record his sleep study. Before starting the recording, the patient will
need to connect the Bracelet, via the bracelet's cable 2 connectors, to the WatchPAT™
device. The device will not start without connection to the paired Bracelet.

Snoring and Body Position Accuracy
This section gives statistical performance measure for Itamar SBP sensor, when used with
the WatchPAT™ device.

I. Body Position
The body position measured by the WatchPAT™ device with Itamar SBP sensor was
compared to the gold standard, manual scoring of the video recording of 31 patients, in 1
minute’s epochs (total of 7111 epochs) during sleep.
The Agreement between the device and the video recording was 90%.
Simple Kappa agreement value was 0.8185 (95% confidence level of 0.8059 and 0.8311).

II. Snoring
The snoring level measured by the WatchPAT™ device with Itamar SBP sensor was
compared to a gold standard PSG dB-meter placed 1 meter from patient’s head. The study
included 26 patients, and the analysis was done in 30sec epochs.
The correlation coefficient was calculated using Pearson method, assuming a linear relation
between the results of the two devices. A statistically significant correlation was calculated
between the two devices: r=0.65 p value<0.0001.
The next figure shows a scatter plot of sleep disturbance Index produced by WatchPAT™
device and dB-meter, with linear regression line.

An estimation of the error in each snoring level was calculated by looking at the
WatchPAT™ device measurement cut by the results of dB-meter in intervals of 1 dB in the
range of above 40dB (below 40 dB was considered not clinically significant being
background noise). A high correlation was observed between the results of the two devices
for the range of 40-70dB (where sufficient data points were gathered), meaning the
resemblance in the results uniformly existed for all the snore levels measured.
The next table presents the statistics of WatchPAT™ device measurements per dB-meter
calculation at that range.

APPENDIX E: DESCRIPTION OF THE WATCHPAT™200U UPAT
PROBE

The WatchPAT uPAT probe is an opto-pneumatic finger-mounted probe.


Its role is to continuously measure the relative state of the vasomotor activity in the distal
part of the finger based on a plethysmographic method. The uPAT probe is designed to
cover the distal part of the finger with a uniform pressure field extending to the tip of the
finger. This design prevents venous blood pooling, engorgement and stasis, which inhibits
retrograde venous shock wave propagation, and allows partial unloading of arterial wall
tension that significantly improves the dynamic range of the measured signal. The optic
component of the probe measures the optical density related changes of the arterial blood
volume in the digital arteries, associated with each heartbeat. Peripheral arterial
constrictions, when present, are shown by attenuation in the PAT signal amplitude, a
marker of sympathetic activation.
The uPAT probe also measures the changes in absorbance of the finger at both red and
infrared light at peak wavelengths of 660nm and 910nm respectively. The maximum
optical output power is 65mW. These measurements are used to calculate the oximetry
signal in an offline program according to the pulse oximetry principles.
The uPAT probe is an integral part of the WatchPAT™ device and is to be used only with
the WP200U device.

And reflection from structures objects and people.

a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured
field strength in the location in which the WP200U is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the WP200U should
be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-
orienting or relocating the WP200U.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended Separation Distances

The WP200U is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated


radiofrequency disturbances are controlled.
The user and/or installer of the unit can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a
minimum distance between portable and mobile radiofrequency communications equipment
(emitters) and the WP200U, according to the maximum output power of the equipment, as
recommended in the table below.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance d in meters (m)
can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power
rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from
structures, objects, and people.
