The adhesive pad attaches to the patient's skin at the measurement site and the snap ring captures the V-Sign™ Sensor while permitting rotation and removal/reinsertion of the ring is prepared for application by removing an adhesive liner film.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a system for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of physiological parameters (PCO2, SpO2, PR) using a sensor and monitor. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The focus is on the hardware components and their application.

No
The device is indicated for monitoring of physiological parameters like carbon dioxide tension, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate, not for directly treating a disease or condition.

Yes

The device is indicated for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of physiological parameters such as carbon dioxide tension, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate, which are used by clinicians to assess a patient's condition and help diagnose medical issues.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a stand-alone monitor, a digital sensor, a connecting cable, and accessories, indicating it is a hardware-based system, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the SenTec Digital Monitoring System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • SenTec System Function: The SenTec Digital Monitoring System is described as a device for continuous, non-invasive patient monitoring. It measures physiological parameters (carbon dioxide tension, oxygen saturation, and pulse rate) directly from the patient's body (ear lobe or other conventional sites) without requiring the collection and analysis of a biological specimen.

Therefore, the SenTec Digital Monitoring System falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic or monitoring devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Comparison to predicate device [807.92(a)(6)]:

Confidential

2

The SenTec Digital Monitoring System has the same indications for use as well as the same indicated patient population as a combination of the predicate devices.

The new Multi-Site Attachment Rings are to be used only for PCO2 measurements. All relevant features of the SenTec Digital Monitoring System are equivalent to the TOSCA 500 as well as to the PCO2-part of the Microgas 7650. The key features are:

  • same principles of operation (2 wavelength SpO2 measurement, and PCO2 electrode technology) -
  • sensors heated to typically 42 °C (note SDMS uses 41°C for neonatal applications) ।
  • equivalent or similar means to control sensor temperature and application time at the site -
  • equivalent or similar sensor application means [adhesive Ear Clip and adhesive attachment rings]
  • equivalent or similar sensor calibration unit integrated in monitor -
  • equivalent or similar alarms, messages and menu structure as predicate devices -
  • equivalent or similar accessories for maintenance: membrane exchange tool, sensor contact gel, service gas

The method of operation is equivalent to that of the SenTec Digital Monitoring System listed under K041548, in particular for sensor preparation and monitoring.

Non-Clinical Performance data [807.92(b)(1)]:

Biocompatibility testing has been conducted for all patient contact materials in compliance with ISO 10993-1:2003. All materials met Biocompatibility requirements.

Detailed risk, hazard, and failure analyses were performed on the SDMS in consideration of the Multi-Site Attachment Rings. All hazards were mitigated to ALARP levels (as low as reasonably possible) and residual risks were determined to be acceptable.

Application tests performed with the V-Sign Sensor and Multi-Site Attachment Rings confirmed that the sensor was properly positioned for measurement of PCO2.

Clinical Performance data [807.92(b)(2)]:

In consideration of the Guidance Document for Cutaneous Carbon Dioxide Monitors no additional Clinical studies were required and none were performed.

Conclusion [807.92(b)(3)]:

The results of all laboratory and performance tests demonstrate that the SenTec Digital Monitoring System meets specified requirements.

As described above, the SenTec Digital Monitoring System with Multi-Site Attachment Rings performs in a manner equivalent to the predicate devices. Device safety is substantiated by risk analyses and biocompatibility of patient contact materials.
