Intended Use
The Nellcor® DuraMax® reusable oximetry sensor is indicated when continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring are required for patients weighing 40 kg or more.
Device Description
The DuraMax is a reusable sensor, sized appropriately to fit the digit of a pediatric or adult patient weighing 40 kg or more. The DuraMax sensor consists of an internal frame containing the optical components and flexible circuit encapsulated in a synthetic, latex-free rubber overmold. The DuraMax sensor plug contains a memory chip carrying information about the sensor which the oximeter needs for correct operation, including Advanced Signal Evaluation, Intention and data set revision, and sensor model. The DuraMax sensor is compatible with Nellcor and other monitors incorporating either Nellcor R-Cal or OxiMAX (DigiCal) oximetry technology.
More Information

None

No
The summary describes a standard pulse oximetry sensor with a memory chip for calibration and sensor information. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is a sensor used for monitoring oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

The device is a sensor used for continuous noninvasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which are diagnostic indicators of a patient's physiological state.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "reusable sensor" consisting of an "internal frame containing the optical components and flexible circuit encapsulated in a synthetic, latex-free rubber overmold." This describes a physical hardware component, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, 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 Nellcor DuraMax reusable oximetry sensor is a noninvasive device that measures arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate by being placed on the patient's digit. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring," which is a physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a noninvasive physiological monitoring device, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

Human and bench tests were performed to support the determination of substantial equivalence. Human oxygenation evaluations were conducted to confirm conformance to accuracy and precision specifications.
The DuraMax sensor has been designed and tested for conformance with the applicable requirements of ISO 9919:2005, "Medical equipment - Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment for medical use". When properly connected to an oximeter that is also compliant with this standard, the resulting system will comply with the standard.

510(k) Summary

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The DuraMax is a reusable sensor, sized appropriately to fit the digit of a pediatric or adult patient weighing 40 kg or more.

The DuraMax sensor consists of an internal frame containing the optical components and flexible circuit encapsulated in a synthetic, latex-free rubber overmold.

The DuraMax sensor plug contains a memory chip carrying information about the sensor which the oximeter needs for correct operation, including Advanced Signal Evaluation, Intention and data set revision, and sensor model. The DuraMax sensor is compatible with Nellcor and other monitors incorporating either Nellcor R-Cal or OxiMAX (DigiCal) oximetry technology.

INTENDED USE

The DuraMax® reusable digit sensor is intended for use with patients weighing 40 kg or more when noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring are required.

SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE DEVICE

The Nellcor DuraMax sensor has the same technological characteristics as the Nellcor DS-100A reusable sensor. The sensor uses the same optical components as the DS-100A. The differences relate to dimensions, one-piece external design, materials of construction, and labeling.

DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL SUPPORT TESTS PERFORMED TO EQUIVALENCE

Human and bench tests were performed to support the determination of substantial equivalence. Human oxygenation evaluations were conducted to confirm conformance to accuracy and precision specifications.

The DuraMax sensor has been designed and tested for conformance with the applicable requirements of ISO 9919:2005, "Medical equipment - Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment for medical use". When properly connected to an oximeter that is also compliant with this standard, the resulting system will comply with the standard.

CONCLUSIONS

The technological characteristics of the DuraMax sensor and the results of testing do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the legally marketed predicate device.

Dear Mr. Bonds

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 Eederal Register.
