Intended Use
The reprocessed pulse oximeter sensors are indicated for use for continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate monitoring.
Device Description
SterilMed's reprocessed Masimo LNCS® Pulse Oximeter Sensors consist of a sensor, integrated sensor cable, and the sensor plug which connects to the Pulse Oximeter. The reprocessed Masimo LNOP® Pulse Oximeter Sensors consist of a sensor (two LED's and a photodiode), connector extension and connector, but do not feature an integrated cable. Both configurations have a 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 noninvasive, self-calibrated measurements of both oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin and pulse rate. Note: Only the pulse oximeter sensor is the subject of this submission, the oximeter and any other related equipment are not included in the scope of this submission.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the optical and electrical components of the sensor and its connection to a separate pulse oximeter, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data processing or interpretation.

No
The device is a diagnostic tool used for monitoring purposes (arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate), not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes

The device continuously monitors and provides measurements of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate, which are physiological parameters used to assess a patient's health status and aid in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (sensor, cable, plug, LEDs, photodiode) and their interaction with tissue and a separate pulse oximeter, 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. They are used to examine specimens outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the pulse oximeter sensor is used for "continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate monitoring." It works by using optical means to measure light absorption across tissue on a living patient.
  • No Sample Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological samples from the patient. The measurement is taken directly on the patient's body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the reprocessed pulse oximeter sensor is a non-invasive medical device used for physiological monitoring, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
