The document describes a device that simulates pulse oximeter signals and tests probes using electronic and optical methods. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The technology described is based on simulating known physiological signals and testing electrical properties, not learning from data.
No
The device is described as a simulator, tester/analyzer for pulse oximeters, and is explicitly stated as not having any therapeutic or diagnostic patient function. Its primary use is for quality control, repair, and development of pulse oximeters by technicians and manufacturers.
No
Explanation: The document explicitly states, "Clinical testing was not required since the devices comprise test equipment, and are never in contact with a patient nor do they have any therapeutic or diagnostic patient function. As stated above they are not intended to be used as calibrators and should not be used for clinical 'calls'." This indicates the device is for testing other medical devices, not for diagnosing patients.
No
The device description explicitly mentions simulating a human "finger" and utilizing technology similar to pulse oximeters, including LEDs and photodiodes, which are hardware components. It also describes electronic testing of probes for shorts, continuity, opens, and LED functionality, indicating interaction with physical hardware.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is explicitly described as a simulator, tester, and analyzer for Pulse Oximeters and their probes. Its purpose is to verify the operation and performance of these medical devices.
- No Patient Contact or Diagnostic Function: The text clearly states, "Clinical testing was not required since the devices comprise test equipment, and are never in contact with a patient nor do they have any therapeutic or diagnostic patient function." IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device does not interact with patient specimens.
- Target Users: The primary users are Biomedical Engineers, technicians, and OEMs, not healthcare professionals using the device for patient diagnosis.
- Function: The device simulates physiological signals or electronically tests components of the Pulse Oximeter and its probe. It does not analyze biological samples.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of medical device test equipment, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The above device family is intended for use as simulators, testers/analyzers for Pulse Oximeters, and their probes. The Oximeter tests can be conducted through a simulated human "finger" (F and EF models) or electronically (E and EF models) as if the tester is a probe. Oximeter probes can be tested, using E and EF models, for shorts, continuity, opens and LED functionality.
Basically the devices allow accurate monitoring and verification of the operation of commercially available Pulse Oximeters without use of arterial blood. They can quickly establish the state of any given pulse oximeter and determine its performance qualities. Index 2/CardioSat 100 can test and evaluate virtually any pulse oximeter on the market today. Ear and toe type oximeters and their probes can be tested electronically as components and the probe/oximeter system can be tested fully if the probe fits on the simulated "finger".
The testers can also be used as a transfer standard for Pulse Oximeters. That is, a Pulse Oximeter's performance may be compared to another of the same type or a different type. The devices are not intended to be used as Pulse Oximeter calibrators, but can be used for Quality Control purposes.
The primarily use for these types of devices is: by Biomedical Engineers and technicians in Hospitals; by third party repair and calibration facilities; and by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Other personnel could also learn how to use the devices. The Hospital or third party repair environment varies from, use of the device in a controlled calibration lab, to portable ward use by the Biomed staff. The OEMs use of the device would primarily involve final QC of pulse oximeters in their manufacturing or repair facilities, but could also involve the use of these simulators in the development of new oximeters.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance Testing: (Verification and Validation): The predicate INDEX designwas extensively verified and validated to be working per the design and published specifications. Many of the features have not changed so this work formed the basis for the new verification/validation plan. The Index 2 and CardioSat 100 is being and will be fully verified and validated per a written plan prior to release. This plan includes verification/ validation that the device features work as intended over a wide range of Oximeter types and in some cases involves external confirmation of the features integrity (e.g. use a volt/ohm meter to determine appropriate outputs etc.).
Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not required since the devices comprise test equipment, and are never in contact with a patient nor do they have any therapeutic or diagnostic patient function. As stated above they are not intended to be used as calibrators and should not be used for clinical "calls".
Conclusions from testing: The testing conducted to date and that will be conducted prior to release will support all product claims for intended use including accuracy and full feature operation.

The devices are not intended to be used as Pulse Oximeter calibrators, but can be used for Quality Control purposes.
The primarily use for these types of devices is: by Biomedical Engineers and technicians in Hospitals; by third party repair and calibration facilities; and by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Other personnel could also learn how to use the devices. The Hospital or third party repair environment varies from, use of the device in a controlled calibration lab, to portable ward use by the Biomed staff. The OEMs use of the device would primarily involve final QC of pulse oximeters in their manufacturing or repair facilities, but could also involve the use of these simulators in the development of new oximeters.
7- Summary of technological characteristics of devices compared to predicate:
Index 2/CardioSat 100 simulates a human "finger" (toe/ear).utilize technology similar to that which the Pulse Oximeters utilize to measure SpO2 and pulse rate. This aspect of the technology used in Index 2/CardioSat 100 is protected by US Patent No. 5,348,005. Oximeters use the ratio of Red to InfraRed light to simulate readings related to the partial pressure and thus arterial oxygenation level of blood, which is expressed as SpO2 for this method of measurement. In Index 2/CardioSat 100 the pulsation of the signal serves to simulate the heart rate pulsation. This feature is identical to the predicate Index, K933519, SpO2 Simulator with the addition of a near simultaneous pulsing of the Red and InfraRed LEDs to test a wider range of Pulse Oximeter manufacturers models. Most Pulse Oximeters alternate the Red and InfraRed signals.
The simulators can also send this same types of signals electronically to the Oximeter under test simulating the Oximeter Probe's signal. Additionally, they can operate as intelligent volt/ohmmeters to analyze Oximeter Probes for continuity, shorts, opens, LED operation and Photodiode Operation. These last two features are similar in technology to the Clinical Dynamics Corp. SmartSat™ Pulse Oximetry Analyzer, K952327 :
Index 2 and CardioSat 100 and the predicate Pulse Oximeter testers have an identical intended use and there are no new technological features or issues which would raise concern of safety and effectiveness.
8- Performance Testing: (Verification and Validation): The predicate INDEX designwas extensively verified and validated to be working per the design and published specifications.

diagnostic patient function. As stated above they are not intended to be used as calibrators and should not be used for clinical "calls".
10- Conclusions from testing: The testing conducted to date and that will be conducted prior to release will support all product claims for intended use including accuracy and full feature operation.
11. Other Information of Interest to FDA:
Potential System Hazards: Are classified as those which could affect the functionality of the system and or give erroneous results. The primary system function hazards which were reviewed and addressed were: a) EMC testing indicted that the system meets current CE Mark requirements and will neither interfere with, nor be susceptible to interference from other devices in the ranges given by the IEC standards. b) A Low battery cutoff/alarm is in the design to prevent false but believable results due to electronic circuits operating outside of their specified range. c) To ensure correct operation a known voltage, generated internally, is measured at the start of each probe check sequence.
User Safety Considerations: The device has been designed as a low voltage battery operated device and is thus intrinsically safe. Bio-Tek supplies a UL approved 110V battery charger with the instrument for North American sales.
The above information is certified to be truthful and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
