Unimed Reusable SpO2 Sensors are indicated for continuous non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR) for adult patients weighing greater than 30 kg and pediatric patients weighing 10-50 kg. These devices are for prescription use only.
The subject devices are Unimed Reusable SpO2 Sensors intended for non-invasive measurement of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (PR) in clinical settings. The sensors are designed for compatibility with GE B40i, and are supplied non-sterile.
Each sensor consists of a connector, a cable, and a reusable patient-contacting sensor element incorporating a light-emitting diode (LED) and photodetector (PD). The sensors are available in multiple configurations, including finger clip, wrap, and soft-tip types, to accommodate various patient needs and anatomical sites.
The subject devices operate on the same principle and share similar design features, materials, and performance characteristics as the predicate device.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study details for the Unimed Reusable SpO2 Sensors, based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
| Criteria | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Saturation Accuracy, No Motion (70-100%) | ±3% | ±3% |
| Pulse Rate Accuracy, No Motion | ±2 bpm (30-250 bpm) | ±2 bpm (30-250 bpm) |
| Biocompatibility | Pass ISO 10993 cytotoxicity, skin irritation, and skin sensitivity tests | Pass ISO 10993 cytotoxicity, skin irritation, and skin sensitivity tests |
Study Information
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Twelve human adult volunteers were enrolled for the clinical study. The study contains more than the minimum 200 data points.
- Data Provenance: The study was conducted on human adult volunteers and includes sufficient darkly pigmented subjects (three dark subjects with Fitzpatrick Type 5-6). It is a prospective clinical study. The country of origin is not explicitly stated but implies testing in a controlled clinical environment, likely linked to the manufacturer's location or a designated clinical trial site.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- The document implies that arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) as determined by co-oximetry was used as the ground truth. This is a direct measurement from blood samples. Therefore, typical "experts" in the sense of human readers adjudicating images are not applicable here. The accuracy of co-oximetry itself is the standard.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. The ground truth (SaO2 by co-oximetry) is a direct, objective measurement, not subject to human interpretation or adjudication in the same way as an imaging study.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- Not applicable. This device is a sensor (hardware) for SpO2 and pulse rate measurement, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool or an imaging system that would involve human reader interpretation. No MRMC study was conducted.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. The device is a sensor that measures physiological parameters. Its performance is inherent to its design and function, not an algorithm's performance. The "clinical test data" section describes the validation of the sensor's accuracy in vivo.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) as determined by co-oximetry. This is an objective "gold standard" for blood oxygen measurement.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This device is a hardware sensor, not a machine learning model that requires a training set. The clinical study described is for validation/testing, not training.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Dear Huanyu Zeng:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

7. Verification and validation testing
Non-clinical test data
Non-clinical tests were conducted to verify that the proposed devices met all design specifications as was Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate devices. The conducted non-clinical tests conformed to the following the recognized standards:
- IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance (IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD1:2012, IEC 60601-1:2005/AMD2:2020)
- IEC 60601-1-2 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests (IEC 60601-1-2:2014+AMD1:2020)
- ISO 80601-2-61 Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-61: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment (ISO 80601-2-61:2017, COR1: 2018)
- ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
- ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10: Tests for skin sensitization
- ISO 10993-23 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 23: Tests for irritation
The subject sensors include finger clip housing and silicone pad as patient-contacting components. The type of contact is contact with intact skin and the contact duration is defined as prolonged exposure per ISO 10993-1:2018 (medical devices whose cumulative sum of single, multiple or repeated contact time is likely to exceed 24 h but not exceed 30 d). Therefore, our biocompatibility testing has been specifically designed to meet the corresponding endpoint assessment requirements, including the following tests:
- Cytotoxicity
- Skin sensitization
- Skin irritation
The results of these tests demonstrate the biocompatibility of the subject devices.
Clinical test data
A clinical study was conducted under an approved protocol with subject informed consent to determine the accuracy of proposed device. The clinical studies were conducted per following standards:

- ISO 80601-2-61 Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 2-61: Particular Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance of Pulse Oximeter Equipment.
- Pulse Oximeters - Premarket Notification Submissions: Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff
Clinical hypoxia test results were obtained in human adult volunteers (the study population includes sufficient darkly pigmented subjects) to validate the accuracy of the subject devices versus arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) as determined by co-oximetry. Twelve subjects were enrolled for the clinical study. The Fitzpatrick Scale was used to determine their skin pigmentation scores. Three dark subjects (Fitzpatrick Type 5-6) in this study allow a proper evaluation of the sensor accuracy in dark population. The study contains more than the minimum 200 data points, and the clinical study results support device accuracy claims for the specified saturation range.
8. Substantial Equivalence Statement
Based on the comparison, analysis, and the submitted verification and validation data, Unimed believes that the Unimed Reusable SpO2 Sensors are as safe and effective and are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
