The sensor is indicated for single patient use for continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring.
Device Description
In a clinical setting, a pulse oximeter sensor measures the oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2). A pulse oximeter sensor is composed of a light emitting diode (LED) and a sensor that are placed on opposite sides of a patient's finger or foot. The LED contains a red light and an infrared light that are differentially absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. Based on the relative absorption of the two wavelengths that is determined by the sensor, the POX determines the relative amount of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, which is calculated as SpO2. In order to make the SpO2 calculation independent of skin color, finger size, etc., the pulse oximeter sensor uses only the time varying light absorption component generated by the patient's pulse. The sensor also uses the period of pulsation to measure patient pulse rate. The pulse oximeter can estimate the amount of oxygen in the blood without having to draw a blood sample. The primary components of an oxygen transducer, or Pulse Oximeter (POX) Sensor, are light-emitting diodes (red and infrared LED) and a photo sensor. These components (with their wiring system) are embedded within a taping system designed for wrapping the POX Sensor around a patient's finger, foot, or hand so that the LED and photo sensor are directly opposite to each other. As the lights are emitted and received across a vascular bed, the rates of absorption at the two wavelengths vary depending upon the ratios of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin within the blood. The proposed devices of this submission do not differ from the predicate device. The only difference is that the proposed devices will be exposed to vaporized hydrogen peroxide for sterilization instead of ethylene oxide.
More Information

No
The description details a standard pulse oximetry device based on light absorption principles, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, performance studies, or key metrics. The focus is on the physical sensor and its sterilization method.

No
The device is described as a sensor for monitoring oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which are diagnostic and monitoring functions, not therapeutic interventions.

Yes

The device, a pulse oximeter sensor, measures arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate, which are physiological parameters used in a clinical setting to assess a patient's health status. This continuous monitoring of vital signs is a form of diagnostic measurement, providing data essential for diagnosing various conditions or monitoring the progression of illness.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components (LEDs, photo sensor, wiring system, taping system) that are essential for its function. It is a physical sensor, not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood and tissue samples, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • Device Function: The described device is a pulse oximeter sensor. It measures oxygen saturation and pulse rate non-invasively by shining light through tissue (finger, foot, or hand) and analyzing the light absorption. It does not examine specimens derived from the human body in vitro.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for continuous noninvasive monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate. This is a direct measurement on the patient, not an analysis of a sample outside the body.

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)

To support the substantial equivalence of product performance after being sterilized by vaporized hydrogen peroxide to that of the predicate devices, non-clinical bench simulation testing was conducted using a stand-in device. The stand-in device allows for SpO2 sensor verification by passing the light source of the pulse oximeter sensor (LED) through one side of the signal transmission measured by the photocell (photo-detector) of the pulse oximeter sensor on the opposing side of the stand-in.

A functional pulse oximeter sensor when connected to a pulse oximeter console will have the ability to monitor SpO2 and Pulse Rate. Bench and laboratory testing was conducted to determine whether a pulse oximeter sensor is functional and is assessed by performing continuity and sensitivity testing. This included the following tests:

  • Continuity testing to verify there are no open circuits and the current along the path of a circuit is continuous
  • Sensitivity testing to detect the signal transmission between the photodiode and the LED (light emitting diode)

Additional performance testing of this submission references data submitted in previously cleared 510(k)s K042316 and K012344.

Stryker Sustainability Solutions performed the clinical validation testing of the SpO2 performance under no motion on healthy, adult volunteers in the range of 70% to 100%. The ARMS for SpO2 under no motion was found to be 1.62% and 1.56% for woven and non-woven tape, respectively, over the range of 70-100%.

The results of the non-clinical and clinical testing demonstrate that all requirements and performance specifications were satisfied and support the subject device is substantially equivalent to its predicate.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

ARMS for SpO2 under no motion was found to be 1.62% and 1.56% for woven and non-woven tape, respectively, over the range of 70-100%.

Device Description Summary

In a clinical setting, a pulse oximeter sensor measures the oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SpO2). A pulse oximeter sensor is composed of a light emitting diode (LED) and a sensor that are placed on opposite sides of a patient's finger or foot. The LED contains a red light and an infrared light that are differentially absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. Based on the relative absorption of the two wavelengths that is determined by the sensor, the POX determines the relative amount of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, which is calculated as SpO2. In order to make the SpO2 calculation independent of skin color, finger size, etc., the pulse oximeter sensor uses only the time varying light absorption component generated by the patient's pulse. The sensor also uses the period of pulsation to measure patient pulse rate. The pulse oximeter can estimate the amount of oxygen in the blood without having to draw a blood sample.

The primary components of an oxygen transducer, or Pulse Oximeter (POX) Sensor, are light-emitting diodes (red and infrared LED) and a photo sensor. These components (with their wiring system) are embedded within a taping system designed for wrapping the POX Sensor around a patient's finger, foot, or hand so that the LED and photo sensor are directly opposite to each other. As the lights are emitted and received across a vascular bed, the rates of absorption at the two wavelengths vary depending upon the ratios of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin within the blood.

The proposed devices of this submission do not differ from the predicate device. The only difference is that the proposed devices will be exposed to vaporized hydrogen peroxide for sterilization instead of ethylene oxide.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The sensor is indicated for single patient use for continuous noninvasive arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring.

Indications for Use Comparison

The indications for use for the subject device are the same as those of the predicate device, with the exception that the neonatal indication has been removed from the Max-N and N-25 models.

Technological Comparison

The design of the reprocessed device is the same as the predicate device. The indications for use does not change from the predicate device (K042316, K012344), with the exception that the neonatal indication has been removed from the Max-N and N-25 models. The same standard mechanical design and sizes and equivalent materials are utilized. There are no changes to the claims, clinical applications, or performance specifications.

The subject device and the predicate device have technological characteristics, i.e., they have the same:

5

  • intended use;
  • principle of operation;
  • form factor and components;
  • measurement application sites;
  • performance specifications;
  • environmental and mechanical specifications

Principle of Operation

The principle of operation of pulse oximetry is based upon the fundamental principle that hemoglobin bound to oxygen (oxyhemoglobin unbound to oxygen (deoxyhemoglobin) vary in the absorption of different wavelengths of the light and the absorptions can be used to estimate SpO2 and pulse rate. The mechanism by which this process occurs is the use of red and infrared wavelengths of light delivered by an emitter and the detection of the signal from the light absorption of oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood to determine functional oxygen saturation of hemoglobin (SpO2).

Mechanism of Action for Achieving the Intended Effect

The Reprocessed Pulse Oximeter Sensor provides the intended effect equivalent to the previously cleared pulse oximeter sensor in that it utilizes an optical sensor that is applied to the patient's finger or toe through which light is transmitted to the photodetector that detects the signal transmission. The signal transmission is processed by the Pulse Oximeter to provide SpO2 and pulse rate.

Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions

To support the substantial equivalence of product performance after being sterilized by vaporized hydrogen peroxide to that of the predicate devices, non-clinical bench simulation testing was conducted using a stand-in device. The stand-in device allows for SpO2 sensor verification by passing the light source of the pulse oximeter sensor (LED) through one side of the signal transmission measured by the photocell (photo-detector) of the pulse oximeter sensor on the opposing side of the stand-in.

A functional pulse oximeter sensor when connected to a pulse oximeter console will have the ability to monitor SpO2 and Pulse Rate. Bench and laboratory testing was conducted to determine whether a pulse oximeter sensor is functional and is assessed by performing continuity and sensitivity testing. This included the following tests:

  • Continuity testing to verify there are no open circuits and the current along the path of a circuit is continuous

  • Sensitivity testing to detect the signal transmission between the photodiode and the LED (light emitting diode)

Additional performance testing of this submission references data submitted in previously cleared 510(k)s K042316 and K012344.

All reprocessed pulse oximeter sensors materials that are normally in contact with the patient are removed and replaced with medical grade adhesive tape during reprocessing by Stryker Sustainability Solutions. The reprocessed pulse oximeter sensors meet biocompatibility requirements of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1: 2009: Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process for surface contacting devices with prolonged exposure (> 24 hours, but less than 30 days) with skin.

Clinical Testing

Stryker Sustainability Solutions performed the clinical validation testing of the SpO2 performance under no motion on healthy, adult volunteers in the range of 70% to 100%. The ARMS for SpO2 under no motion was found to be 1.62% and 1.56% for woven and non-woven tape, respectively, over the range of 70-100%.

The results of the non-clinical and clinical testing demonstrate that all requirements and performance specifications were satisfied and support the subject device is substantially equivalent to its predicate.

The subject device has the same intended use as the proposed predicate and the differences in technological features do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Based on a comparison of the intended use/indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance data to the predicate devices, the subject device is equivalent to the predicate device.
