Intended Use
The Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor is indicated for continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring in patients weighing ≥ 30 kg.
Device Description
The Flexi-Stat(tm) SpO2 Sensor is an electro-optical sensor that functions without skin penetration, electrical contact, or heat transfer. The sensor uses optical means to determine the light absorption of functional arterial hemoglobin by being connected between the patient and the oximeter. The sensor contains three optical components: two light emitting diodes (LED) that serve as light sources and one photodiode that acts as a light detector. The optical components are housed in adhesive film. The sensor cable is terminated in a DB-9 style connector, with an adapter cable for Datexcompatible models.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the electro-optical nature of the sensor and its function based on light absorption, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data processing or interpretation.

No
The device is described as a sensor for monitoring oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes
The device is indicated for "continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring," which are diagnostic measurements of a patient's health status.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an electro-optical sensor with physical components (LEDs, photodiode, cable, connector) housed in adhesive film, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor is a non-invasive device that measures oxygen saturation and pulse rate directly from the patient's body using optical means. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

The description clearly states it functions "without skin penetration, electrical contact, or heat transfer" and is "connected between the patient and the oximeter." This is characteristic of a non-invasive physiological monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic.
