Intended Use
The Nihon Kohden TG-970P CO2 sensor kit is intended for medical purposes to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory status. Along with other methods indicated by the physician for medical diagnosis, this device is intended as an indicator of patient carbon dioxide concentration during expiration. The device is intended for use by qualified medical personnel within a hospital or clinical environment.
Device Description
The TG-970P CO2 Sensor Kit measures the partial pressure of the expired CO2 of the patient by measuring the amount of absorbed CO2 infrared light, using a CO2 feature which absorbs infrared light. It is comprised of three main components; a CO2 Sensor (photo detector and light emitter) with cable and connector, a CO2 adapter and an airway adapter (YG-211T, YG-213T and YG-214T) or mask (YG-232T and YG-242T). The CO2 Sensor incorporates an infrared light source, of specified wavelength, and an infrared detector. It detects the infrared light from the light emitter which passes through the expired air in the airway adapter and calculates the partial pressure of the expired CO2. The photo detector and light emitter end of the CO2 Sensor is connected to the airway adapter or mask. The airway adapter is then connected between the patient airway and the respirator. The CO2 adapter processes the electrical signal of the detected infrared light into digital data which is sent to the instrument.

The device description and performance studies focus on infrared light absorption and signal processing for CO2 measurement, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms.

No.
The device is a diagnostic tool that measures CO2 levels for determining ventilatory status, not for treating a condition.

Yes

The device "is intended for medical purposes to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory status" and "is intended as an indicator of patient carbon dioxide concentration during expiration," which aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of hardware components including a CO2 Sensor (photo detector and light emitter), a CO2 adapter, and airway adapters or masks.

Based on the provided information, the Nihon Kohden TG-970P CO2 sensor kit is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device measures the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture (expired air) to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory status. It is an indicator of patient carbon dioxide concentration during expiration.
  • Mechanism of Action: The device works by measuring the absorption of infrared light by CO2 in the expired air. This is a physical measurement of a gas, not a test performed on a biological sample (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details components that interact with the patient's airway and expired air, not with biological samples.

IVDs are typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device directly measures a physiological parameter (CO2 concentration in expired air) in vivo (within the body's environment).

Predicate Device(s): Nihon Kohden TG-970P CO2 Sensor Kit (K122214)

1.0 Description of Device

The TG-970P CO2 Sensor Kit measures the partial pressure of the expired CO2 of the patient by measuring the amount of absorbed CO2 infrared light, using a CO2 feature which absorbs infrared light. It is comprised of three main components; a CO2 Sensor (photo detector and light emitter) with cable and connector, a CO2 adapter and an airway adapter (YG-211T, YG-213T and YG-214T) or mask (YG-232T and YG-242T).

The CO2 Sensor incorporates an infrared light source, of specified wavelength, and an infrared detector. It detects the infrared light from the light emitter which passes through the expired air in the airway adapter and calculates the partial pressure of the expired CO2. The photo detector and light emitter end of the CO2 Sensor is connected to the airway adapter or mask. The airway adapter is then connected between the patient airway and the respirator. The CO2 adapter processes the electrical signal of the detected infrared light into digital data which is sent to the instrument.

2.0 Indications For Use

The Nihon Kohden TG-970P CO2 sensor kit is intended for medical purposes to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory status. Alonq with other methods indicated by the physician for medical diagnosis, this device is intended as an indicator of patient carbon dioxide concentration during expiration.

The device is intended for use by qualified medical personnel within a hospital or clinical environment.

3.0 Technical Characteristics

The Nihon Kohden CO2 Sensor Kit, model number TG-970P, is intended for medical purposes to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory (end tidal CO2) status. The device measuring technique is through absorption of infrared radiation.

4.0 Substantial Equivalence

The technology, performance and materials of the Nihon Kohden TG-970P CO2 Sensor Kit, with airway adapters YG-213T and YG-214T, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Nihon Kohden TG-970P CO2 Sensor Kit with airway adapter YG-213T (K122214). Differences between the devices are minor and are described below.

  • 4.1 The new airway adapter YG-214T/TW is being added and is considered substantially equivalent to YG-213T/TW. The difference between the YG-213T/TW and YG-214T/TW is that the YG-214T/TW does not have an inner connection tube, which allows it to be connected to other types of respirators that have an existing inner connection tube. There is no change to the materials. It was assessed through design verification/validation testing that this modification does not impact the intended use of the device.
  • 4.2 The dead space calculation for airway adapter YG-213T/TW has been updated to better simulate the clinical setting. The connection between the adapter and the endotracheal tube overlap in the respiration circuit and the actual dead space volume is decreased by the connecting parts. Bench testing was conducted to confirm the calculation. This change does not impact the intended use of the device.
  • 4.3 The device durability of the airway adapter was improved by changing the outer shape where the user holds the device for connecting and disconnecting. The thickness of this area has increased. Bench testing was conducted to evaluate this change and this modification does not impact the intended use of the device.
  • 4.4 The intended use of the TG-970P has not changed as a result of the above described modifications. The neonate/infant airway adapters, YG-213T/TW and YG-214T/TW, may be used for intubated neonates and infants, using an endotracheal tube size of ≤ 4.0 mm. It has been shown that the minimal dead space in the YG-213T/TW and YG-214T/TW airway adapters allows monitoring at low tidal volumes

5

which helps identify the intended patient population, as described in the literature review letter and bench testing. The proposed labeling for YG-213T/TW and YG-214T/TW would remove the current patient weight requirement of 2-7kg and recommend the intended population based on the endotracheal tube size and dead space volume of the airway adapters. The physician should determine the total dead space of the capnography setup with all other connected equipment to determine the appropriate airway adaptor based on the individual patients tidal volume and weight. Warnings and Caution statements are provided in the Operators Manual on p. 3.

5.0 Performance Testing

The following tests were identified and performed based on the modifications made to the device.

  • Clinical evaluation for prototype of a new neonatal airway adapter with no inner ● tube, applied to patient mouth
  • Confirmation of CO2 waveform with YG-213T on the bench test .
  • . Design change evaluation for YG-213T shape
  • . YG-214T bench test for CO2 waveform
  • Airway adapter for neonate and infant YG-214T, 214-TW dead space volume ●
  • Evaluation of reducing mechanical burden on the sensor part due to YG-214T ● shape change
  • YG-214T/214-TW device detailed design specification conformity evaluation
  • . YG-211T/YG-213T/YG-214T Biocompatibility evaluation

6.0 Conclusions

The TG-970P CO2 Sensor Kit was previously cleared in K122214 and the airway adapter (YG-213T/TW) cleared with the TG-970P is capable of accurately measuring CO2 in the patient's airway during expiration. The technology of the photo detector and light emitter of the TG-970P has not changed. An additional accessory, airway adapter YG-214T/TW, has been shown to be equivalent to the predicate, YG-213T/TW.

The intended population for the YG-213T and YG-214T airway adapters is for neonates and infants. Removal of the patient weight from the labeling is supported by literature and similar products. Furthermore, a recommended endotracheal tube size has been added to the labeling. Additionally, the dead space has been updated for YG-213T, which also further identifies the intended patient population. The device durability was also improved by changing the outer shape where the user holds the device for connecting and disconnecting. Based on a literature review and verification/validation testing in compliance with the Design Control requirements, these airway adapters are shown to be equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the predicate device.

The technology, performance and materials of the Nihon Kohden TG-970P CO2 Sensor Kit, with airway adapters YG-213T and YG-214T, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Nihon Kohden TG-970P CO2 Sensor Kit with airway adapter YG-213T (K122214).
