Intended Use
The intended use of Siemens FiO2 Sensor is to monitor the oxygen level of ambient air in non-pressurized environments such as that found in infant incubators and oxygen hoods.
Device Story
Siemens FiO2 Sensor monitors oxygen concentration in non-pressurized environments like infant incubators and oxygen hoods. Device utilizes galvanic fuel sensor technology to measure ambient air oxygen levels (5-100% range). Sensor connects to Siemens INFINITY NeoMed pod; data transmitted to INFINITY modular bedside monitors, MultiView WorkStations, and PCs via INFINITY network. Operated by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. Provides continuous oxygen concentration readings and includes high/low O2 alarm system. Output allows clinicians to monitor oxygen therapy, facilitating adjustments to patient environment to ensure appropriate oxygenation levels.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Accuracy and response time verified against ISO 7767 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Galvanic fuel sensor; 5-100% measuring range; <3% FS accuracy; 10°C to 40°C operating range. Connects to INFINITY NeoMed pod for network integration. No software algorithm class specified; rule-based alarm system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for infants in clinical environments where healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, technicians) determine monitoring of oxygen levels in non-pressurized environments (incubators, oxygen hoods) is required. Not for use in MRI fields or ventilator breathing circuits.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An oxygen gas analyzer is a device intended to measure the concentration of oxygen in respiratory gases by techniques such as mass spectrometry, polarography, thermal conductivity, or gas chromatography. This generic type of device also includes paramagnetic analyzers.

Dear Mr. Greco:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
