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 pulse oximeter sensors consist of a sensor, integrated sensor cable, and a sensor plug which connects to the Pulse Oximeter. These devices feature 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.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on optical sensing technology and signal processing within the pulse oximeter, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
Explanation: A pulse oximeter sensor is a diagnostic device used for monitoring physiological parameters (SpO2 and pulse rate), not for treating or preventing a disease or condition. While the information it provides can be used to guide therapy, the device itself doesn't directly provide therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device is indicated for monitoring arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which are measurements used to assess a patient's physiological state and aid in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly details physical hardware components (sensor, cable, plug, LEDs, photodiode) and their function in measuring SpO2 and pulse rate. This is 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 description clearly states that the reprocessed pulse oximeter sensors are used for continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate monitoring. This is done by placing the sensor on the tissue (e.g., finger, earlobe) and using optical means to measure light absorption. This is a non-invasive measurement performed directly on the patient, not on a sample taken from the patient.

Therefore, the function and intended use of this device fall outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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

Functional and Safety Testing: Representative samples of reprocessed pulse oximeter sensors were tested to demonstrate appropriate functional characteristics by utilizing the necessary bench testing and in vivo clinical validations. Process validation testing was performed to validate the sterilization procedures as well as device packaging. In addition, the manufacturing process includes visual and validated functional testing of all products produced.

Summary of Non-clinical Tests Conducted: Specific non-clinical tests included: sterilization validation (ISO 11135, USP ), ethylene oxide residual testing (ISO 10993-7), bioburden testing, packaging validation (ASTM D4169, ASTM F88) and shelf life validation (ASTM 1980-99). In addition, validation of functional performance (bench testing) was performed and included the following tests: SpO2 and pulse rate accuracy (normal and low perfusion) using a simulated tester, SpO2 and pulse rate accuracy under varying environmental conditions, and physical tests to verify structural integrity after reprocessing.

Summary of Clinical Tests Conducted: In vivo clinical studies were conducted on both adult volunteers and neonatal subjects to demonstrate SpO2 accuracy of the reprocessed sensors.
