Intended Use
The Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors are indicated for use in continuous monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
Device Description
The Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors are fully compatible disposable and re-usable replacement sensors for use with Nellcor pulse oximeter monitors. They represent a design change to the Dolphin 2000 BCI Compatible Sensors. The disposable Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors are constructed in a similar manner to predicate devices. The emitter and detector diodes are embedded in a laminate of tapes that is connected to the cable assembly. The sensors have an adhesive bandage backing that allows the sensor to be applied to the patient by wrapping it around a finger or toe (measurement site). Four sizes of disposable Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors are available, which are indicated for use for adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal application sites. The Dolphin 2000 disposable sensors are provided non-sterile for single patient use. The re-usable Dolphin 2000 Finger Clip Oximetry Sensor is an adult-sized clothespinstyle clip that is placed on the end of a finger. The finger clip sensor consists of the emitter and detector components mounted in opposing clip halves, maintained in mild compression by a spring hinge. The molded outer components house the optoelectric components within contoured pads that maintain contact with the patient's finger. Clear windows within these pads permit the optical energy to pass through the finger for the measurements. The Dolphin 2000 re-usable sensors are provided non-sterile.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the hardware components (emitters, detectors, cables, clips) and the measurement principle (optical assessment of tissue oxygenation). There is no mention of AI, ML, algorithms for data processing beyond standard signal processing for oximetry, or any training/test data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No.
The device is used for monitoring arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It measures a physiological parameter but doesn't actively treat or modify a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is indicated for "continuous monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate," which are physiological parameters used to assess a patient's health status, making it a diagnostic device as it provides information for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details physical hardware components (sensors, cables, clips, diodes, adhesive bandages) that are essential to its function. It is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Dolphin 2000 Function: The Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors work by non-invasively measuring arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate directly from the patient's finger or toe using optical methods. They do not analyze specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is "continuous monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate," which is a physiological measurement taken on the patient, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors fall under the category of in vivo diagnostic or monitoring devices, as they are used directly on the living body.

Summary of Performance Studies

Clinical Testing: The sensors were validated in breathe-down protocols at the VA Hospital of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, (Dr. Phillip Clifford, MD.). Scientific accuracy was demonstrated by statistically comparing Dolphin 2000 SpO2 values to functional SaO2 values. Volunteers participated in the breathe-down protocol at rest (i.e. no motion) while fully conscious at SaO2 values ranging from 70-100%. Data was analyzed to determine the ARMS for each probe. Clinical Validation for the Dolphin 2000 Reusable, Adult disposable, and Neonatal disposable probes resulted in an accuracy determination of less then 2.0% ARMs in the range of 70-100% Sa02 for adults, pediatrics, and infants and less than 3% Arms in the range of 70-100 for Neonates.

Device Description

The Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors are fully compatible disposable and re-usable replacement sensors for use with Nellcor pulse oximeter monitors. They represent a design change to the Dolphin 2000 BCI Compatible Sensors.

The disposable Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors are constructed in a similar manner to predicate devices. The emitter and detector diodes are embedded in a laminate of tapes that is connected to the cable assembly. The sensors have an adhesive bandage backing that allows the sensor to be applied to the patient by wrapping it around a finger or toe (measurement site).

Intended Use

The Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors are indicated for use in continuous monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate. They are fully compatible replacement sensors intended for use with major brands of pulse oximeters.

Technological Characteristics Comparison

The Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors are substantially equivalent in intended use, design, principles of operation, materials, and performance to commercially available oximetry sensors.

All of the Dolphin 2000 oximetry sensors and the predicate devices operate on the identical principles of non-invasive optical assessment of tissue oxygenation using emitters (LEDs) and detectors (photodiode).

The Dolphin 2000 oximetry sensors are designed, and manufactured for full compatibility for use with the labeled, commercially-available oximetry monitors listed above. They are constructed of similar materials and components of equivalent specifications as used in the predicate devices.

The Dolphin 2000 oximetry sensors, like the predicate devices are available in both disposable and re-usable styles, labeled for use in adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal populations.

The labeled accuracy of the Dolphin 2000 sensors is equivalent to those of the predicate devices.

Performance Testing

. Biocompatibility

Biocompatibility tests, appropriate for skin-contacting devices for prolonged exposure, were performed on the each of the device components used in the assembly of the Dolphin 2000™ pulse oximetry sensors by the respective component manufacturer. Test results demonstrated the materials to be nontoxic, non-irritant, and non-sensitizing.

프 Electrical Safety

The Dolphin 2000 Oximetry Sensors have been tested and found to comply with the applicable clauses of the following standards:

  • Medical electrical equipment part 1: General .. EN 60601-1 (1990) requirements for safety
  • EN 60601-1-1 (1993) Medical electrical equipment part 1: General requirements for safety - 1. Collateral standard: Safety requirements for medical electrical svstems
