Intended Use
The Model 2001 Pulse Oximeter is intended to provide continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate units in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients in hospital-type facilities and intra-hospital transport environments such as the operating room, emergency department and intensive care units. The Model 2001 and its sensors are intended to be used by trained operators when pulse oximetry monitoring is required in the judgement of a physician.
Device Description
The Model 2001 Pulse Oximeter is designed for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of the functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate. Oxygen saturation is measured with ratiometric technique using red and infrared absorbance of oxy- and deoxyhemoqlobin and pulse rate is measured using the time between successive pulses. The O2 saturation sensors are already legally marketed as accessories to the Model 520A monitor. The Model 2001 displays digital values of SpO2 and pulse rate as well as a graphic display of the plethysmogram. The Model 2001 monitor consists of a dual microprocessor based data acquisition system that measures oxygen saturation data. The firmware for the primary microprocessor performs the functions of the existing Model 520A including data acquisition, display, trending and communications with external devices. The firmware for the second microprocessor, a digital signal processor, performs the filtering, pulse rate and saturation calculations of the existing algorithms and additional calculations which analyze the incoming signals and perform noise reduction on that signal when the presence of noise is detected.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description mentions a digital signal processor performing filtering, calculations, and noise reduction using existing algorithms, but does not mention AI or ML.

No
The device is a pulse oximeter intended for monitoring functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate, not for providing therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device provides continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which are physiological parameters used to assess a patient's health status, thereby aiding in diagnosis or guiding medical interventions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Model 2001 Pulse Oximeter "consists of a dual microprocessor based data acquisition system" and mentions "firmware for the primary microprocessor" and "firmware for the second microprocessor". This indicates the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Model 2001 Pulse Oximeter is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that the Model 2001 is a non-invasive device that monitors functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate directly from the patient's pulsating vascular bed (finger or toe). It does not analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The device description focuses on measuring physiological parameters directly from the patient. It describes the use of light absorption and time between pulses to determine oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which are in-vivo measurements.

Therefore, the Model 2001 Pulse Oximeter falls under the category of in-vivo diagnostic or monitoring devices, not in-vitro diagnostics.

The Model 2001 can be powered by either an internal power supply operating on AC or by a sealed rechargeable lead-acid gel battery. Audible and visual alarms for high/low saturation and pulse rate are available. The Model 2001 also includes a temporary (2 minute) and permanent alarm silence and other configurable settings. The Model 2001 provides an audible low battery warning to alert the user of impending loss of power and consequent loss of monitoring capability. The Model 2001 Pulse Oximeter has visual indicators for pulse error conditions, power mode (i.e. AC vs. battery) and alarm silence. There is also a serial port that provides user configurable data output capable of communicating with printers and other devices.

Intended Use f.

The Model 2001 Pulse Oximeter is intended to provide continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients in hospital, hospital-type facilities and intra-hospital transport environments such as the operating room, emergency department and intensive care The Model 2001 Pulse Oximeter and its sensors are intended to be used by units. trained operators when pulse oximetry monitoring is required in the judgement of a physician. The intended use, patient population and environments of use are the same or similar to the predicate devices, the Novametrix Model 520A Pulse Oximeter, Ivy Biomedical Model 2000 Oximeter, and the Nellcor Puritan Bennett N-395 Pulse Oximeter.

Technological Characteristics q.

The Model 2001 Pulse Oximeter measures functional oxygen saturation and pulse rate with sensors that contain red and infrared light sources. Since oxygen saturated blood absorbs different amounts of light at each wavelength (red and infrared) as compared with unsaturated blood, the amount of light absorbed at each wavelength by the blood in each pulse can be used to calculate oxygen saturation. The light energy from red and infrared LEDs is beamed through a sample cell- a pulsating vascular bed, the patient's finger or toe for example. The remaining light energy not absorbed by the sample cell reaches a photodiode, on the opposing side of the sensor. The signal received by the photodiode is split into its red and infrared components, sampled, software filtered, processed using proprietary algorithms and displayed as a numerical value for functional oxygen saturation and as a waveform, the plethysogram.

The Model 2001 uses a similar SpO2 and pulse rate software algorithm to process the information from the sensor as the predicate device, Model 520A Pulse Oximeter, cleared under K913516. In addition, the Model 2001 possesses artifact filtering software that reduces the effects of artifact such as patient/sensor motion. This allows the Model 2001 to provide valid SpO2 and pulse rate readings for increased levels of artifact as compared to previous generations. With this capability the Model 2001 provides a decrease in false/nuisance alarms due to the effect of motion artifact.
