Intended Use
Belun Ring BLR-100 is a non-invasive and stand-alone pulse oximeter, intending for spot-checking of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and the pulse rate of adult patients through index finger in hospital and home environment. It is not intended for single-use and out-of-hospital transport use.
Device Description
The proposed device Belun Ring BLR-100 is a non-invasive and stand-alone pulse oximeter, which can detect and display the measured oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and the pulse rate in hospital and home environment. The proposed device consists of two parts: Ring and Cradle. The Ring is intended to be worn on the bottom of index finger. The Cradle collects data from the ring and translates it into text and graph for the user. Using spectrophotometric methodology, the proposed device measures oxygen saturation by illuminating the skin and measuring changes in light absorption of oxygenated (oxyhemoglobin) and deoxygenated blood (reduced hemoglobin) using two-wavelengths light: red and infrared. The ratio of absorbance at these wavelengths is calculated and calibrated against direct measurements of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2 ) to establish the pulse oximeter's measurement of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2 ). The sensor of the Ring should be placed on palmar side of the proximal phalanx of the index finger and the sensor is being place along the radial artery. The system uses a customized dual CPU design. It consists of two main platforms: the Ring is responsible for signal pre-conditioning, data post-processing (SPO2/PR algorithm), parameters calculation and sensor interfacing, while the Cradle takes care of the user interface including display output and button user input. The system includes two embedded software, namely Ring firmware and Cradle firmware. The software systems work in conjunction with Ring and Cradle. The two platforms (Ring and Cradle) are connected via "Connectivity software module". The communication protocol is proprietary which provides a reliable and fast communication.
More Information

No
The description focuses on standard pulse oximetry technology using spectrophotometry and signal processing algorithms, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a diagnostic tool designed for measuring physiological parameters (oxygen saturation and pulse rate) and does not provide therapy or treatment.

Yes

Explanation: The device is a pulse oximeter intended for "spot-checking of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and the pulse rate." Measuring these vital signs provides information that can be used to diagnose various medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of two hardware parts: a Ring and a Cradle, and describes their physical functions and components (sensors, CPUs, display).

Based on the provided information, the Belun Ring BLR-100 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Belun Ring BLR-100 Function: The Belun Ring BLR-100 is a pulse oximeter that measures oxygen saturation and pulse rate non-invasively by shining light through the finger. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Belun Ring BLR-100 falls under the category of a non-invasive medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical Test:

  • The Belun Ring BLR-100 was tested in accordance with mandatory and voluntary standards including IEC 60601-1-2:2014, IEC 60601-1-11:2015, IEC 60601-1:2005 + a1:2012, IEC 62133:2012, ST/SG/AC.10/11/Rev.5, amend.2, 38.3, and ISO 80601-2-61:2011.
  • Low perfusion accuracy was validated in bench testing against a functional tester with signal strength greater than 0.06% for saturation values ranging from 70% to 100%. The device returned the same saturation values within ± 2 digits compared to the functional tester.
  • Pulse rate accuracy was validated in bench testing against a functional tester for pulse rate values ranging from 30 bpm to 250 bpm. The device returned the same pulse rate values within ± 2% or ± 2 bpm (whichever is larger) compared to the functional tester.
  • Software Validation is in compliance with FDA Guidance for the Content of PreMarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.
  • Biocompatibility tests were in compliance with ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-10:2010.

Clinical Study:

  • Study Type: Clinical Test following clause 201.12.1 of ISO80601-2-61:2011.
  • Sample Size: Not specified.
  • Purpose: To evaluate the SpO2 accuracy performance of the Belun Ring BLR-100 placed on the index fingers during steady state / non-motion conditions over the range of 70-100% SaO2, using arterial blood samples assessed by CO-Oximetry.
  • Key Results: The Accuracy Root Mean Square (ARMS) performance of the oximetry system met the required specification in non-motion conditions for the range of 70 - 100% SaO2.

Comparison StatementThe proposed device and the predicate device have the similar design principle and similar measurement wavelength.
There are two differences between the proposed and predicate device. First difference is that the proposed device uses reflective sensors while the predicate device uses transmission sensor. Second one is that the proposed device measures from the proximal phalanx of the finger while the predicate device measures from the fingertip. However, it's well-known that both the transmissive and reflective methods are very mature technologies and the pulse oximeter can work on any location of tissue bed containing pulsating arteriolar vessels, such as fingertip, earlobe, toe, forehead and proximal phalanx of fingers.
