Intended Use
The City Technology Medical replacement oxygen sensor is intended to replace the original oxygen-sensing component of an oxygen analyzer that measures oxygen concentration in breathing gas mixtures.
Device Story
Amperometric electrochemical oxygen sensors; monitor partial pressure of oxygen in breathing gas mixtures. Input: oxygen flux through solid membrane diffusion barrier. Principle: oxygen reacts at precious metal cathode to form hydroxyl ions; hydroxyl ions oxidize lead anode; electron flow through external circuit produces voltage signal proportional to oxygen partial pressure. Output: voltage signal representing oxygen concentration. Used in anesthesia, intensive care, and incubators; integrated into finished medical devices as original or replacement sensing component. Healthcare providers use output to monitor patient breathing environment; facilitates clinical decision-making regarding oxygen delivery. Benefits: ensures accurate oxygen concentration monitoring for patient safety.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data provided includes measurement range, T90 response time, operating temperature/humidity ranges, cross-interference to anesthesia gases, linearity, and operating life. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Amperometric electrochemical sensor; plastic body; precious metal cathode; lead anode; liquid electrolyte; solid membrane diffusion barrier. Operates via oxygen reduction at cathode and lead oxidation at anode. Dimensions/form factor vary by model. Standalone component for integration into medical devices. Temperature range: -20°C to +50°C; Humidity: 0-99% RH.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring monitoring of oxygen concentration in breathing gas mixtures within medical devices such as anesthesia, intensive care, and incubators.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An oxygen gas analyzer is a device intended to measure the concentration of oxygen in respiratory gases by techniques such as mass spectrometry, polarography, thermal conductivity, or gas chromatography. This generic type of device also includes paramagnetic analyzers.

- ഗ Indications for Use
Purpose: The purpose of the City Technology Medical Oxygen sensors is to be the oxygen-sensing component to monitor the concentration of oxygen in breathing gas mixtures in finished medical devices at the point of manufacture. The additional purpose of the City Technology Medical Oxygen sensors is to be a replacement for the oxygen-sensing component after the life of the sensor originally supplied in the device is exhausted, to monitor the concentration of oxygen in breathing gas mixtures in medical devices.
Function: The City Technology Medical Oxygen sensors are used in medical device products such as Anaesthesia, Intensive Care and Incubators.
Target Patient Population: The target patient population consists of those patients who require the oxygen concentration in their breathing environment to be monitored.
Environment of Use: The City Technology Medical Oxygen Sensors are used in medical devices (i.e. Anaesthesia, Intensive Care and Incubators) in patient environments whose temperatures range from -20°C to +50°C and from 0 to 99% humidity (non-condensing).
Device Claims: The City Technology Medical Oxygen Sensors consist of oxygen sensing components in medical devices that monitor the oxygen concentration in the patient's breathing environment.
Legally Marketed Predicate Device: The legally marketed predicate device is Ceramatec CAG-10 Oxygen Sensor. The predicate device was assigned 510(k) number K972992 and was declared substantially equivalent by FDA.
Safety and Effectiveness: No differences in intended use or application of the City Technology Medical Oxygen sensors or the predicate device have been identified that could affect safety or effectiveness.
- 10. Method of Operation:
These medical Oxygen sensors are based on the amperometric electrochemical measurement principle. The sensors comprise a plastic body in which are two electrodes, a precious metal cathode and a lead anode immersed in a liquid electrolyte solution, as in the schematic below.
{2}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/2/Figure/0 description: This image shows a diagram of a solid membrane diffusion barrier. The diagram includes labels for the different components of the barrier, including the solid membrane diffusion barrier, cathode, electrolyte, and anode. The diagram also shows the direction of air supply and the flow of electrons. A load resistor and voltmeter are connected to the cathode and anode.
Oxygen flows into the sensor through a solid membrane, which limits the flow and controls the output signal. Inside the sensor Oxygen reacts on the cathode to form hydroxyl ions as follows:
$$O_2 + 2H_2O + 4e^- \longrightarrow 4OH^-$$
These hydroxyl ions then oxidise the metal anode:
$2Pb + 4OH^- \longrightarrow 2PbO + 2H_2O + 4e^-$
Overall the effect is the consumption of the lead anode:
$$2Pb + O_2 \longrightarrow 2PbO$$
The electrons consumed at the cathode are supplied from the anode via the external circuit where a resistor is placed so that the voltage produced may be monitored. This voltage signal then constitutes a measure of the flux of Oxygen into the sensor and hence the partial pressure of Oxygen in front of the membrane.
The life of the sensor is governed by the mass of lead and the rate of consumption i.e. by the oxygen partial pressure; hence lifetimes are quoted as % Oxygen hours.
Accuracy is governed largely by the variation in diffusion rate of Oxygen through the solid membrane, which is a function of temperature and the presence of interfering gases that may absorb onto the membrane.
- 11. Intended Use
These sensors are designed to be used to monitor the partial pressure of oxygen in anaesthesia, critical care, incubators and general oxygen monitors.

The MOX-1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 10 Sensors differ only in body shape and electrical interface type, but are otherwise identical and can be considered equivalent.
The MOX-5, 6 and 9 Sensors differ only in body shape and electrical interface type, but are otherwise identical and can be considered equivalent.
The MOX-16 sensor is a dual cathode version of the other Medical Oxygen Sensors. It also has a different body shape and electrical interface, but otherwise it is identical and can therefore be considered equivalent.
- 13. Conclusion
City Technology's Medical Oxyqen Sensors are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed. Medical Oxygen Sensors are safe and effective for their intended use.
