# Device Description
The Dolphin Medical 2150 Pulse Oximeter consists of the Dolphin ONE™ OEM 701 Module technology, and works with existing Dolphin ONE extension cables, and oximetry sensors to non-invasively calculate the functional saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate. It also includes a thermistor port which accepts off the shelf approved YSI 400 series patient temperature sensors for the reading of patient temperature. It features an easy-to-read display that presents patient data and status information: an LCD (liquid crystal display) display that shows the SpO2, pulse rate values, patient temperature, and other messages as appropriate.
{1}------------------------------------------------
A Dolphin ONE Extension Cable connects the sensor to the 2150. The cable is available in two configurations, three foot or eight in length.
The oximeter can be operated off either an internal rechargeable battery or with use of a medical grade AC power supply which is fumished with the unit.
The Dolphin Medical Model 2150 Pulse Oximeter will be used for continuous noninvasive monitoring and spot checking of SpO2, pulse rate, and patient temperature for adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients in hospital-type facilities. Typical acute-care uses are the Operating Room, Recovery Room and the Adult and Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The Dolphin Medical Model 2150 Pulse Oximeter and accessories will be used for adult, pediatric and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused. The user responsible for the operation of the Dolphin Medical Model 2150 will normally be a licensed clinical professional such as a physician, nurse, or respiratory therapist.
## Intended Use
The Dolphin Medical 2150 Handheld Pulse Oximeter is indicated for use for spot checking and/or continuous noninvasive monitoring of fractional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin, pulse rate, and patient temperature. The 2150 is for use with adult pediatric and neonatal patients in hospitals and hospital type facilities.
### Technological Characteristics Comparison
The Dolphin 2150Handheld Pulse is a redesign of the Dolphin 2100 Stand Alone Pulse Oximeter (K002036) into a handheld configuration with the addition of a temperature sensor port.
The Dolphin Model 2150 Pulse Oximeter incorporates the Dolphin OEM 701 Oximeter Engine in a handheld Oximeter with patient temperature monitoring capability and an infra red printer interface.
Dolphin Medicals OEM 701 Module is a complete pulse oximeter engine, based on a patented Digital Signal Processing technology with a high speed 128 MHz RISC processor. This circuit board interfaces directly with the Dolphin ONE™ family of sensors and the host platform to calculate the SpO2 and pulse rate. It provides the required sensor drive currents, accepts the sensor data, runs the algorithms to calculate SPO2. Pulse Rate, and patient temperature and provides a digital output to the host unit for display. Additionally, the board contains all necessary support for direct connection to off the shelf YSI 400 series thermistor patient temperature probes.
The OEM 701 is a redesign of the OEM 601 which is the oximetry engine for the Dolphin Model 2100(k002036).
The Dolphin ONE Sensors measure light absorption of blood from two light emitting diodes. Oxygen saturated blood absorbs light differently as compared to unsaturated blood. The amount of light absorbed by the blood is used to calculate the ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin to total hemoglobin in arterial blood.

# Clinical Testing
The 2150 was validated using Dolphin ONE Sensors in breathe-down protocols at the VA Hospital of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, (Dr. Phillip Clifford, MD.). Scientific accuracy was demonstrated by statistically comparing Dolphin 2150 SpO2 values to functional SaO2 values. Volunteers participated in the breathe-down protocol while fully conscious at SaO2 values ranging from 70-100%. Data was analyzed to determine the ARMS for each probe. Clinical Validation for the Dolphin ONE Reusable, Adult disposable, Neonatal disposable resulted in an accuracy determination of less then 2.0% Arws in the range of 70-100% Sa02 for adults, pediatrics, and infants and less than 3.5% Arms in the range of 70-100 for Neonates.
