Intended Use
The Vamos Variable Anesthetic Gas Monitor is indicated for measuring and monitoring the CO2 concentration, functional oxygen saturation SpO2, pulse rate and the concentrations of N20, Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane and Desflurane. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Device Description
The Vamos is an integrated monitoring system used for multiple gas analysis (CO2, N2O, and anesthetic agent concentrations). Pulse oximetry may also be included as an option.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard multi-gas and pulse oximetry monitor without any mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies listed are typical for such devices and do not suggest the use of AI/ML.

No.
The device is a monitor that measures gas concentrations, not a device that treats or ameliorates a condition.

No
The device measures and monitors physiological parameters (CO2, SpO2, pulse rate) and gas concentrations (N2O, anesthetic agents) during medical procedures, rather than diagnosing a disease or condition. Its purpose is to provide real-time information for patient management during anesthesia, not to identify a medical problem.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "integrated monitoring system" and mentions "multiple gas analysis" and "pulse oximetry," which strongly implies the presence of hardware components for sensing and measurement. The performance studies also include "environmental, and electromagnetic compatibility testing," which are typically associated with hardware devices.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as measuring and monitoring gases and physiological parameters (CO2, O2 saturation, pulse rate, anesthetic gases). This is done directly on the patient or their exhaled breath, not on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's an integrated monitoring system for gas analysis and pulse oximetry. This aligns with patient monitoring, not laboratory testing of samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or performing tests on these samples to provide diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This device operates by monitoring gases and physiological signs directly from the patient.

(a)
Identification. A carbon dioxide gas analyzer is a device intended to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory, circulatory, and metabolic status. The device may use techniques such as chemical titration, absorption of infrared radiation, gas chromatography, or mass spectrometry.(b)

Device Description:

The Vamos is an integrated monitoring system used for multiple gas analysis (CO2, N2O, and anesthetic agent concentrations). Pulse oximetry may also be included as an option.

Intended Use:

The Vamos may be used for measuring and monitoring the functional oxygen saturation (SpO2), pulse rate and the concentrations of CO2, N2O and the following anesthestic agents; Halothane, Enflurane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane, and Desflurane.

Substantial Equivalence:

Like the Vitalert 3000 (VA3000), the Vamos is an integrated monitoring system used for multiple gas analysis (CO2, N2O, and anesthetic agent concentrations) and Pulse oximetry. The VA3000 offers Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) monitoring as an option while the Vamos does not.

The Vamos and VA3000 integrate the function of the electronic monitors. Measurement data, a real time CO2 waveform, and alarms are displayed. Both use an electro- luminescent display.

The Vamos and VA3000 use a combination of a keypad and incremental encoder to control screen formats and settings.

The Vamos offers an optional battery backup system, which is automatically enabled in the event of power failure and provides a one hour minimum power reserve time from full charge. The VA3000 does not have a battery backup system.

1

The Vamos uses the same pulse oximetry module as the NPB4000 Pulse Oximeter (K962424).

The gas analyzer used in the Vamos is similar to that used in the VA3000 in that both utilize infrared absorption technology.

The Vamos and the VA3000 incorporate an RS-232 serial communication port.

Qualification of the Vamos included hazard analysis, functional, communication, environmental, and electromagnetic compatibility testing.
