Intended Use
The Masimo Disposable Transflectance Forehead Sensors are indicated for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate. The Masimo Disposable Transflectance Forehead Sensors are intended for use with adult and pediatric patients, weighing greater than 10 kg, who are well or poorly perfused in healthcare environments.
Device Description
The subject device, Masimo Disposable Transflectance Forehead Sensor (Forehead Sensor), is a single-use sensor and is supplied non-sterile. The sensor is available in two configurations, consisting of the LNCS TFA-1 with the DB9 sensor connector and the M-LNCS TFA-1 with the M15 sensor connector. The different sensor connectors allow for sensor connection to instruments with corresponding mating DB9 or M15 connectors. The subject device shall also be available with RD sensor connector. The subject device is intended to be used with instruments that include Masimo SET technology for the monitoring of: - Functional Oxygen Saturation of Arterial Hemoglobin (SpO2): The amount of oxyhemoglobin expressed a percentage of the hemoglobin that is available - Pulse Rate (PR): Measured in beats per minute (BPM) is based on the optical detection of peripheral flow pulse - Perfusion Index (PI): The ratio of the pulsatile blood flow to the non-pulsatile or static blood in peripheral tissue - Pleth Variability Index (PVI): Measure of dynamic changes in perfusion index that occur during the respiratory cycle.
More Information

No
The document describes a sensor and its intended use with existing Masimo SET technology, which is a signal processing technology for pulse oximetry. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, performance studies, or any other section.

No
The device is indicated for monitoring physiological parameters (SpO2, pulse rate, perfusion index, pleth variability index), not for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is a sensor for continuous noninvasive monitoring of physiological parameters (SpO2, pulse rate), not for diagnosing a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "single-use sensor" and describes physical components like "sensor connectors" and "technology boards," indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed outside of the living body.
  • Device Function: The Masimo Disposable Transflectance Forehead Sensors are described as devices for "continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate." This monitoring is done on the patient's forehead, directly on the living body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the collection or analysis of any biological specimens from the patient. The measurements are taken directly through the skin.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a non-invasive physiological monitoring device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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

Non-clinical Testing: The subject devices were subjected to bench testing. The following non-clinical testing was performed:

  • Electrical safety testing per IEC60601-1
  • EMC testing per IEC60601-1-2
  • Pulse oximetry testing, including simulator testing of pulse rate and low perfusion, per ISO 80601-2-61
  • Biocompatibility testing per ISO-10993-1, ISO-10993-5 and ISO-10993-10
  • Usability testing per FDA Human Factors and Usability Guidance
  • Software verification per FDA Software Guidance
  • Mechanical and environmental testing

Clinical Testing: Clinical performance testing was completed in accordance with ISO 80601-2-61 to evaluate the accuracy of functional oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurements. The Forehead Sensors, connected to MX technology boards with Masimo SET technology, were applied to healthy adult volunteers with light to dark skin pigmentation. SpO2 measurements were compared against arterial blood samples analyzed by a laboratory CO-oximeter, in the range of 70 to 100%, to determine accuracy specifications in terms of accuracy root mean square (Arms). The variation in the accuracy specifications equals plus or minus one standard deviation, which encompassed approximately 68% of the tested population. Arms calculation incorporates error due to bias and imprecision (standard deviation).

Key Results: The non-clinical and clinical testing demonstrated that the subject devices are as safe and effective as the predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Principle of Operation

The subject device, Forehead Sensor, is a pulse oximetry sensor which is governed by the following principles:

  • Oxyhemoglobin (oxygentated blood) and deoxyhemoglobin (non-oxygenated blood) differ in their absorption of red and infrared light (spectrophotometry).
  • The amount of arterial blood in tissue changes with a person's pulse (photoplethysymography). Therefore, the amount of light absorbed by the varying quantities of arterial blood changes as well.

Mechanism of Action for Achieving the Intended Effect

The Forehead Sensor is placed on the patient forehead and secured with a headband. The other end of the sensor is connected to a patient cable, which in turn is connected to a pulse oximeter. The instrument is turned on when use begins. Once use is complete, the user turns the instrument power "off" and removes the sensor from the patient.

Summary of Technological Characteristics of Subject Device Compared to Predicate Device

Similarities and Differences between Subject Device and Predicate Device (K032551)

The subject device, Forehead Sensor, and the predicate (K032551) have the following key similarities:

  • . Both devices have the same intended use of pulse oximetry measurements under no motion and low perfusion conditions;
  • Both devices have the same forehead measurement site;
  • Both devices are supplied non-sterile; and ●
  • Both devices have the same accuracy specifications ●

The subject and predicate devices are mainly different in that:

  • the subject device is single-use device whereas the predicate is reusable; and ●
  • the subject device is intended for patients > 10 kg whereas the predicate is intended for ● patients >30 kg.

Image /page/7/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Masimo Corporation. The logo consists of the word "Masimo" in a bold, sans-serif font, with a red circle containing a white checkmark to the left of the word. To the right of the word "Masimo" are the words "MASIMO CORPORATION" in a smaller, sans-serif font, followed by the address "52 Discovery, Irvine, CA 92618".

The difference in the indications for use (IFU) between the subject and predicate devices does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness because both devices have the same intended use as forehead sensors for pulse oximetry, same principle of operation and same accuracy specifications. Although the patient-contacting materials for the subject device and predicate are slightly different, the materials are the same in that they are compliant to ISO-10993-1. Additionally, since the patient population is the same for the subject device and the predicate, there is no expected difference in the subject device's performance with the slight extended weight range for the subject device. Please note the reference device in K051271, where the same patient population of greater than 10 kg does not require additional testing. Furthermore, the subject device has been validated in regards to human factors and usability.

In summary, the accompanied verification and validation data for the subject device, including testing for any differences, demonstrated that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate and therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate.
