Trade/Device Name: Unimed Reusable SpO2 Sensors (-06 Series) (U403S-06)
Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.2700
Regulation Name: Oximeter
Regulatory Class: Class II
Product Code: DQA
Dated: October 17, 2025
Received: October 17, 2025
Dear Huanyu Zeng:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

7. Verification and validation testing
Non-clinical test data
Non-clinical tests were conducted to verify that the proposed devices met all design specifications as was Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate devices. The conducted non-clinical tests conformed to the following the recognized standards:
- IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance (IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012, IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD2:2020)
- IEC 60601-1-2 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests (IEC 60601-1-2:2014+AMD1:2020)
- ISO 80601-2-61 Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-61: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment (ISO 80601-2-61:2017, COR1: 2018)
- ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
- ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10: Tests for skin sensitization
- ISO 10993-23 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 23: Tests for irritation
The subject sensor includes silicone housing as patient-contacting component. The type of contact is contact with intact skin and the contact duration is defined as prolonged exposure per ISO 10993-1:2018 (medical devices whose cumulative sum of single, multiple or repeated contact time is likely to exceed 24 h but not exceed 30 d). Therefore, our biocompatibility testing has been specifically designed to meet the corresponding endpoint assessment requirements, including the following tests:
- Cytotoxicity
- Skin sensitization
- Skin irritation
The results of these tests demonstrate the biocompatibility of the subject devices.
Clinical test data
A clinical study was conducted under an approved protocol with subject informed consent to determine the accuracy of proposed device. The clinical studies were conducted per following standards:

- Pulse Oximeters - Premarket Notification Submissions: Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff
Clinical hypoxia test results were obtained in human adult volunteers (the study population includes sufficient darkly pigmented subjects) to validate the accuracy of the subject devices versus arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) as determined by co-oximetry. Twelve subjects (7 males and 5 females, Fitzpatrick Type 2-6) were enrolled for the clinical study. The Fitzpatrick Scale was used to determine their skin pigmentation scores. Three dark subjects (Fitzpatrick Type 5-6) in this study allow a proper evaluation of the sensor accuracy in dark population. The study contains more than the minimum 200 data points, and the clinical study results support device accuracy claims for the specified saturation range.
8. Substantial Equivalence Statement
Based on the comparison, analysis, and the submitted verification and validation data, Unimed believes that the Unimed Reusable SpO2 Sensors are as safe and effective and are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
