Intended Use
The Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor is indicated for continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients.
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.

No
The device description focuses on electro-optical sensing and light absorption, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

No
The device is for monitoring SpO2 and pulse rate, not for treating any condition or disease.

Yes

Explanation: The device is indicated for "continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring." Monitoring these physiological parameters provides information used to diagnose and manage a patient's condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electro-optical sensor" with physical components like LEDs, a photodiode, adhesive film, and a cable with a connector. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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. They are performed outside of the living body.
  • Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor Function: The description clearly states that the Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor is a "non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring" device. It works by using optical means to measure light absorption through the skin, without taking any samples from the body.

Therefore, because it operates externally and does not analyze samples taken from the body, the Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor falls under the category of a medical device but not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance testing was conducted during clinical hypoxia studies conducted in an independent research lab. The Flexi-Stat was compared to arterial blood samples analyzed on a laboratory co-oximeter and found to be equivalent to predicate device accuracy claims.

Biocompatibility, electrical safety, and EMC testing was also performed to demonstrate conformance with established industry standards.

Product Name:

Common Name: SpO2 Sensor (accessory to pulse oximeter) Trade Name(s): Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensors

Predicate Device:

The proposed devices are identical to the devices cleared under K041522, with the exception of added pediatric claims and a change to the wrap material from nonadhesive to adhesive.

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.

Intended Use:

The Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor is indicated for continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring.

Comparison to Predicate Device:

The Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor uses the same theory and principle of operation as the predicate device. Design characteristics are equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness, as demonstrated by product testing and accuracy claims.

Performance Data & Conclusions:

Performance testing was conducted during clinical hypoxia studies conducted in an independent research lab. The Flexi-Stat was compared to arterial blood samples analyzed on a laboratory co-oximeter and found to be equivalent to predicate device accuracy claims.

Biocompatibility, electrical safety, and EMC testing was also performed to demonstrate conformance with established industry standards.
