Intended Use
The BCI 3401 Pulse Oximeter is a handheld, low cost monitor for spot checking or attended monitoring of SpO2, pulse rate and pulse strength. The 3401 is a battery powered pulse oximeter with an optional built-in printer. It may be used in the hospital or clinical environment, and during emergency land transport. The oximeter will operate accurately over an ambient temperature range of 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C). The oximeter works with all BCI oximetry sensors providing SpO2 and pulse rate on all patients from neonate to adult. This device is not intended for continuous patient monitoring. There are no audible or visable patient alarms. The device is not intended for home use.
Device Description
The BCI 3401 Handheld Pulse Oximeter is an updated version of an existing pulse oximeter legally marketed by BCI International. The system consists of two major elements. The first is the oximeter featuring the oximeter sensor interface, the LED display, and the keypad. The second element is the optional internal printer. The device is powered by four "AA" batteries.

No
The summary describes a standard pulse oximeter and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies are based on standard statistical analysis of clinical data, not AI/ML model training or evaluation.

No
The device is a monitor for spot checking or attended monitoring of SpO2, pulse rate and pulse strength, which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic. It does not treat or cure any condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a monitor for spot checking or attended monitoring of SpO2, pulse rate, and pulse strength. While it measures physiological parameters, its intended use is for monitoring and not for diagnosing a specific condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a handheld pulse oximeter with hardware components like an LED display, keypad, sensor interface, and an optional internal printer. It is powered by batteries, further indicating it is a physical device, not software only.

Based on the provided text, the BCI 3401 Pulse Oximeter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The BCI 3401 Pulse Oximeter measures SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) and pulse rate by placing a sensor on the patient's body (typically a finger or earlobe). This is a non-invasive measurement taken in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in glass, i.e., outside the body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes monitoring physiological parameters directly from the patient, not analyzing samples taken from the patient.

Therefore, the BCI 3401 Pulse Oximeter falls under the category of a non-invasive physiological monitoring device, not an IVD.

Additionally, clinically controlled desaturation studies were done to demonstrate that the 3401 accurately displays the patient's blood oxygen level within its accuracy limits as compared to a co-oximeter (OSM-3). Statistical analysis on the data collected from the studies were compared to those from a co-oximeter during the controlled subject desaturation runs.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The design of this device utilizes currently available technology found in many legally marketed devices. Testing was done to ensure that it would perform within the environment(s) for which it is to be marketed. The testing was performed in accordance with the guidelines and standards found in the reviewers guide for respiratory devices. This testing included EMC, electrical, mechanical durability, safety (operator and patient), and temperature humidity. The results of the testing demonstrated that the device was in compliance with the guidelines and standards referenced in the reviewers guide and that it performed within its specifications and functional requirements.

Additionally, clinically controlled desaturation studies were done to demonstrate that the 3401 accurately displays the patient's blood oxygen level within its accuracy limits as compared to a co-oximeter (OSM-3). Statistical analysis on the data collected from the studies were compared to those from a co-oximeter during the controlled subject desaturation runs. The results from the clinical studies support the accuracy claims of the device, with a standard deviation of 1.97 for the measurement range of 70-100%. The R squared value was 0.96 over the entire range. (R squared - measure of how true the regression line is. R squared = 1 is a perfect fit.} On the basis of these results and the above-referenced testing it is our determination that the device is safe, effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device.
