Intended Use
Reprocessed Pulse Oximeter Sensors are used when continuous external monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate is required.
Device Description
The subject devices are reprocessed pulse oximeter sensors model numbers Max-A and Max-N Pulse Oximeter Sensors originally manufactured by Nellcor. The reprocessed pulse oximeter sensor is an electro-optical sensor that uses an optical means to determine the light absorption of functional arterial hemoglobin. The sensor contains three optical components: two light emitting diodes (LED's) that serve as light sources, and one photodiode, that acts as a light receiver. The oximeter sensor is positioned so that the LED's and photodiode oppose one another across the tissue. The sensor is connected via cable to a pulse oximeter, which provides continuous non-invasive, self-calibrated measurements of both oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin and pulse rate. Please note that this submission only pertains to the sensor. It does not pertain to the pulse oximeter or connecting cable.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the electro-optical components and function of a pulse oximeter sensor, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data processing or interpretation.

No.
The device is a sensor that provides data for continuous external monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate, and it does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is described as providing "continuous non-invasive, self-calibrated measurements of both oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin and pulse rate," which are used for monitoring a patient's physiological state, thus aiding in diagnosis or treatment decisions.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is an "electro-optical sensor" containing "two light emitting diodes (LED's)" and "one photodiode," which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that the pulse oximeter sensor is used for continuous external monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate by being positioned across the tissue. This is a non-invasive measurement taken directly from the patient's body, not from a sample taken from the body.
  • The device description focuses on electro-optical measurement of light absorption within the tissue. This is a physical measurement taken in vivo, not a chemical or biological analysis of a sample in vitro (in glass or outside the body).

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for physiological monitoring, but it does not meet the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

| Device Description: | DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The subject devices are reprocessed pulse oximeter sensors
model numbers Max-A and Max-N Pulse Oximeter Sensors
originally manufactured by Nellcor.

The reprocessed pulse oximeter sensor is an electro-optical
sensor that uses an optical means to determine the light
absorption of functional arterial hemoglobin. The sensor
contains three optical components: two light emitting diodes
(LED's) that serve as light sources, and one photodiode, that
acts as a light receiver. The oximeter sensor is positioned so
that the LED's and photodiode oppose one another across the
tissue. The sensor is connected via cable to a pulse oximeter,
which provides continuous non-invasive, self-calibrated
measurements of both oxygen saturation of functional
hemoglobin and pulse rate. Please note that this submission
only pertains to the sensor. It does not pertain to the pulse
oximeter or connecting cable. |
| Intended Use: | Reprocessed Pulse Oximeter Sensors are used when continuous
external monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate
is required. |
| Statement of
Technological
Comparison | The subject reprocessed Pulse Oximeter Sensors have the
following similarities to the Reprocessed Pulse Oximeter
Sensor which previously received 510(k) clearance:
The same indicated use; The same operating principle; The same basic design; The same technical characteristics; The same clinical performance characteristics; The same manufacturing environment; The same sterilization process; and The same packaging configurations. In summary, the subject device described in this submission is,
in the opinion of SterilMed, substantially equivalent to the
predicate device. |
| Conclusion: | The subject reprocessed pulse oximeter sensors are substantially
equivalent to the predicate reprocessed pulse oximeter sensors.
This conclusion is based upon the fact that this device is
substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of
functional design, indications for use, principles of operation
and test performance characteristics. |

Dear Dr. Lester:

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 (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. 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
