Indications for Use
The OxiMAX Pulse Oximetry System is indicated for the continuous non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate. It is intended for use with neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients during both no motion and motion conditions and for patients who are either well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport, and home environments. These devices are for prescription use only.
Device Story
OxiMAX Pulse Oximetry System provides continuous, non-invasive monitoring of SpO2 and pulse rate. System inputs include optical signals from OxiMAX sensors (red/infrared LEDs and photodiode) placed on patient tissue. Sensors contain memory chips storing calibration and sensor-specific data. The N-595 oximeter processes these signals using digital signal processing to calculate SpO2, pulse rate, and pulse amplitude. Output is displayed as digital values and plethysmographic waveforms on the N-595 unit. Used in hospitals, transport, and home environments by clinicians or patients. Features include SatSeconds alarm management, motion-artifact filtering, and in-sensor data storage for patient history portability. Device aids clinical decision-making by providing real-time oxygenation status and trend data, facilitating timely intervention for hypoxemia.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical and non-clinical tests were performed in accordance with 21 CFR Parts 812, 50, and 56. The system was validated against predicate devices to ensure performance equivalence in monitoring SpO2 and pulse rate under various conditions, including motion and low perfusion. No specific numerical clinical trial results (e.g., sensitivity/specificity) are provided in the summary document.
Technological Characteristics
System uses red and infrared LED light sources and a photodiode detector to measure tissue optical properties. Includes OxiMAX sensors with integrated memory chips for data storage. Features Advanced Digital Signal Processing for motion/low perfusion, SatSeconds alarm management, and serial connectivity (EIA-232/RS-422). Powered by AC or internal 6V rechargeable lead-acid battery. Software includes motion-filtering and alarm management algorithms.
Indications for Use
Indicated for continuous non-invasive SpO2 and pulse rate monitoring in neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients. Applicable for motion/no-motion conditions and well/poorly perfused patients in hospitals, transport, and home settings. Specific sensor models (MAX-A, MAX-AL, MAX-P, MAX-I, MAX-N, MAX-R, MAX-FAST, OxiCliq series, DS-100A, D-YS, D-YSE, D-YSPD, OXI-P/I, OXI-A/N) are indicated for specific weight ranges (1 kg to >50 kg) and anatomical sites.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An oximeter is a device used to transmit radiation at a known wavelength(s) through blood and to measure the blood oxygen saturation based on the amount of reflected or scattered radiation. It may be used alone or in conjunction with a fiberoptic oximeter catheter.

#### 1. Device Description
The OxiMAX Pulse Oximetry System is designed for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate by use of one of a range of compatible Nellcor OxiMAX oxygen transducers (sensors). The N-595 Pulse Oximeter displays digital values of SpO2 and Pulse Rate. Pulse Amplitude is displayed by means of a "blip bar" presentation or plethysmographic waveform. The N-595 can be powered by an internal power supply operating on AC
510(k) Summary - Page 1
{1}------------------------------------------------
from a standard electrical utility receptacle (manually switchable from 115V to 230V) or alternatively by an integral sealed 6V rechargeable lead-acid battery. TheOxiMAX Pulse Oximetry System is intended for prescription use with adult, pediatric and neonatal patients in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport, and home environments.
Audible and visual alarms for high/low saturation, pulse rate and pulse search are provided. The N-595 Pulse Oximeter also includes adjustable alarm silence duration and other configurable power-on settings. The N-595 provides an audible low battery warning to alert the user of impending loss of power and consequent loss of monitoring capability. The N-595 Pulse Oximeter has visual indicators for pulse search, motion, power mode (i.e., battery or AC), alarm silence and alarm features. There is also a serial port (EIA-232 and RS-422 interface) that provides ASCII output of real-time data. Via the serial port, the N-595 interfaces with selected multiparameter monitors.
The Nellcor pulse oximetry cable, Model DOC-10, links individual OxiMAX sensors to the N-595 Pulse Oximeter. The N-595 and DOC-10 are intended for use only with the OxiMAX family of sensors. These OxiMAX sensors each contain a memory chip carrying information about the sensor which the oximeter needs for correct operation, including in-sensor data. Advanced Signal Evaluation, lot code and data set revision, and sensor model. These OxiMAX sensors include the following models: OxiMAX MAX-A, MAX-AL, MAX-P, MAX-I, MAX-N, MAX-R, MAX-FAST, OxiCliq-A, OxiClig-I, OxiCliq-N, DS-100A, D-YS, D-YSE, D-YSPD, OXI-A/N, and OXI-P/I.
#### II. Intended Use
The OxiMAX Pulse Oximetry System is indicated for the continuous non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate. It is intended for use with neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients during both no motion and motion conditions and for patients who are either well or poorly perfused, in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport, and home environments. These devices are for prescription use only.
### III. Technological Characteristics
The OxiMAX Pulse Oximetry System measures functional oxygen saturation noninvasively via a light signal interacting with tissue, by utilizing the time-varying changes in tissue optical properties that occur with pulsatile blood flow. Red and infrared lightemitting diodes (LEDs) are utilized as light sources. A photodiode acting as a photodetector senses the signal strengths of the two wavelengths of light, which vary with the amount of light transmitted through the tissue. The N-595 Pulse Oximeter receives this electrical information from the sensor and processes the information by use of an algorithm to provide real time values of SpO2, pulse rate and pulse amplitude.
OxiMAX technology encompasses:
- OxiMAX Advanced Digital Signal Processing for reading through motion artifact . and low perfusion
- . Advanced Signal Evaluation providing the user information on sensor placement
- SatSeconds Alarm Management .
{2}------------------------------------------------
- . OxiMAX Sensor Technology, including in-sensor data, allows the N-595 to write data to and read data from OxiMAX adhesive sensors
- MAX-FAST Adhesive Forehead Reflectance Sensor .
The N-595 uses similar SpO2 and Pulse Rate software algorithm, motion-filtering software, and SatSeconds alarm management software as the legally marketed predicate device, N-395, that was cleared under 510(k)s #K991823 and #K993637.
Nellcor brand sensors containing OxiMAX technology are compatible with the N-595, other Nellcor oximeters and instruments containing Nellcor oximetry, or with instruments licensed to use Nellcor sensors (Nellcor-compatible instruments). OxiMAX Sensor Technology, including in-sensor data, allows the N-595 to write data to and read data from OxiMAX adhesive sensors allowing patient history, namely SpO2 and pulse rate alarm events, to travel with the patient, and enabling quick patient assessment upon transfer to a new point of care. The N-595 provides on-screen viewing of in-sensor patient data including SpO2 and pulse rate trend of events.
## IV. Tests Performed to Support Determination of Substantial Equivalence
Clinical and non-clinical tests were performed to support the determination of substantial equivalence. Clinical studies were conducted following regulations under Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR), Part 812 - Investigational Device Exemptions, Part 50 - Protection of Human Subjects and Part 56 - Institutional Review Boards.
### V. Conclusions
The technological characteristics of the OxiMAX Pulse Oximetry System and the results of non-clinical and clinical tests do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the legally marketed predicate devices.
