Intended Use

The City Technology Medical replacement oxygen sensor is intended to replace the original oxygen-sensing component of an oxygen analyzer that measures oxygen concentration in breathing gas mixtures.

Device Description

These medical Oxygen sensors are based on the amperometric electrochemical measurement principle. The sensors comprise a plastic body in which are two electrodes, a precious metal cathode and a lead anode immersed in a liquid electrolyte solution. Oxygen flows into the sensor through a solid membrane, which limits the flow and controls the output signal. Inside the sensor Oxygen reacts on the cathode to form hydroxyl ions. These hydroxyl ions then oxidise the metal anode. The electrons consumed at the cathode are supplied from the anode via the external circuit where a resistor is placed so that the voltage produced may be monitored. This voltage signal then constitutes a measure of the flux of Oxygen into the sensor and hence the partial pressure of Oxygen in front of the membrane.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the City Technology Medical Oxygen Sensors (MOX-1 through MOX-16), which are oxygen-sensing components designed to monitor oxygen concentration in breathing gas mixtures within medical devices like anesthesia machines, intensive care units, and incubators. The submission is for a 510(k) premarket notification, aiming to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study details:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" as a separate section with pass/fail thresholds. Instead, it presents a comparison table between the predicate device (Ceramatec CAG-10 Sensor) and the City Technology Medical Oxygen Sensors. The implication is that the City Technology sensors demonstrate performance at least equivalent to, or better than, the predicate device.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document does not specify the sample size used for performance testing. It presents performance characteristics as general specifications for the device families. There is also no information about the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective nature of studies).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

This information is not applicable to this document. The device is a sensor (hardware component) measuring a physical quantity (oxygen concentration). The "ground truth" would be established by validated reference instruments or gas mixtures of known concentration, not by human experts.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

This information is not applicable. The device is a standalone sensor, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would involve human readers interpreting images or data.

6. Standalone Performance Study:

Yes, a standalone performance assessment was conducted for the device. The table in point 1 presents the standalone performance characteristics of the City Technology Medical Oxygen Sensors. The device's operation is based on an amperometric electrochemical measurement principle, and its performance (e.g., T90, linearity, operating life, cross-interference) was evaluated and reported in comparison to the predicate device.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth for evaluating the sensor's performance would have been established using known gas concentrations or calibrated reference instruments. For example, to assess linearity, the sensor would be exposed to various oxygen concentrations (e.g., 0%, 21%, 100% oxygen) and its output compared to the known values. Similarly, for cross-interference, the sensor would be exposed to specific interfering gases at known concentrations, and the impact on the oxygen reading would be measured. This implicitly relies on physical standards and calibrated equipment rather than expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

This information is not applicable. The MOX sensors are electrochemical sensors based on a well-understood physical principle. They are not AI/ML-based devices that require a "training set" in the computational sense. Their function is directly derived from their physical design and material properties.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

  • ഗ Indications for Use
    Purpose: The purpose of the City Technology Medical Oxygen sensors is to be the oxygen-sensing component to monitor the concentration of oxygen in breathing gas mixtures in finished medical devices at the point of manufacture. The additional purpose of the City Technology Medical Oxygen sensors is to be a replacement for the oxygen-sensing component after the life of the sensor originally supplied in the device is exhausted, to monitor the concentration of oxygen in breathing gas mixtures in medical devices.

Function: The City Technology Medical Oxygen sensors are used in medical device products such as Anaesthesia, Intensive Care and Incubators.

Target Patient Population: The target patient population consists of those patients who require the oxygen concentration in their breathing environment to be monitored.

Environment of Use: The City Technology Medical Oxygen Sensors are used in medical devices (i.e. Anaesthesia, Intensive Care and Incubators) in patient environments whose temperatures range from -20°C to +50°C and from 0 to 99% humidity (non-condensing).

Device Claims: The City Technology Medical Oxygen Sensors consist of oxygen sensing components in medical devices that monitor the oxygen concentration in the patient's breathing environment.

Legally Marketed Predicate Device: The legally marketed predicate device is Ceramatec CAG-10 Oxygen Sensor. The predicate device was assigned 510(k) number K972992 and was declared substantially equivalent by FDA.

Safety and Effectiveness: No differences in intended use or application of the City Technology Medical Oxygen sensors or the predicate device have been identified that could affect safety or effectiveness.

    1. Method of Operation:
      These medical Oxygen sensors are based on the amperometric electrochemical measurement principle. The sensors comprise a plastic body in which are two electrodes, a precious metal cathode and a lead anode immersed in a liquid electrolyte solution, as in the schematic below.

{2}------------------------------------------------

Image /page/2/Figure/0 description: This image shows a diagram of a solid membrane diffusion barrier. The diagram includes labels for the different components of the barrier, including the solid membrane diffusion barrier, cathode, electrolyte, and anode. The diagram also shows the direction of air supply and the flow of electrons. A load resistor and voltmeter are connected to the cathode and anode.

Oxygen flows into the sensor through a solid membrane, which limits the flow and controls the output signal. Inside the sensor Oxygen reacts on the cathode to form hydroxyl ions as follows:

$$O_2 + 2H_2O + 4e^- \longrightarrow 4OH^-$$

These hydroxyl ions then oxidise the metal anode:

$2Pb + 4OH^- \longrightarrow 2PbO + 2H_2O + 4e^-$

Overall the effect is the consumption of the lead anode:

$$2Pb + O_2 \longrightarrow 2PbO$$

The electrons consumed at the cathode are supplied from the anode via the external circuit where a resistor is placed so that the voltage produced may be monitored. This voltage signal then constitutes a measure of the flux of Oxygen into the sensor and hence the partial pressure of Oxygen in front of the membrane.

The life of the sensor is governed by the mass of lead and the rate of consumption i.e. by the oxygen partial pressure; hence lifetimes are quoted as % Oxygen hours.

Accuracy is governed largely by the variation in diffusion rate of Oxygen through the solid membrane, which is a function of temperature and the presence of interfering gases that may absorb onto the membrane.

    1. Intended Use
      These sensors are designed to be used to monitor the partial pressure of oxygen in anaesthesia, critical care, incubators and general oxygen monitors.

The MOX-1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 10 Sensors differ only in body shape and electrical interface type, but are otherwise identical and can be considered equivalent.

The MOX-5, 6 and 9 Sensors differ only in body shape and electrical interface type, but are otherwise identical and can be considered equivalent.

The MOX-16 sensor is a dual cathode version of the other Medical Oxygen Sensors. It also has a different body shape and electrical interface, but otherwise it is identical and can therefore be considered equivalent.

    1. Conclusion
      City Technology's Medical Oxyqen Sensors are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed. Medical Oxygen Sensors are safe and effective for their intended use.
