K915856 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SENSORMEDICS 4000 SERIES SLEEP SYSTEM. Classified as Automatic Event Detection Software For Polysomnograph With Electroencephalograph (product code OLZ), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Sensor Medics Corp. (Yorba Linda, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 26, 1992 after a review of 304 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Neurology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 882.1400 - the FDA neurology device framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Neurology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.

OLZ Device Classification - Class 2, Special Controls

Product Code OLZ Automatic Event Detection Software For Polysomnograph With Electroencephalograph
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 882.1400
Definition Automatically Mark Electroencephalograph And Polysomongraph Signals In Order To Aid In Identification Of Such Events And Annotation Of Prolonged Psg Traces; Automatically Calculate Simple Measures Obtained From Recorded Signals (e.g. Magnitude, Time, Frequency And Simple Statistical Measures Of Marked Events); All Output Subject To Verification By Qualified User
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. This pathway does not require clinical trials - it relies on engineering equivalence and performance data. Most Neurology devices follow this clearance model.
