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 conditions and for patients who are either well or poorly perfused, in hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport, and home environments. These devices are for prescription use only.

Device Story

Sensors utilize red and infrared LEDs to transmit light through tissue; photodiode detects signal variations caused by pulsatile blood flow. Integrated memory chip stores sensor model, calibration data, and patient history (SpO2/pulse rate alarm events). Used in hospitals, transport, and home environments by clinicians or patients. Oximeter processes sensor signals via algorithm to output real-time SpO2, pulse rate, and pulse amplitude. Data portability allows patient history to travel with the sensor, facilitating assessment upon transfer between care points. Benefits include continuous, non-invasive monitoring of oxygenation status.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical studies conducted per 21 CFR Parts 812, 50, and 56 to support SpO2 accuracy specifications. No specific numerical results (e.g., sensitivity/specificity) provided in the summary document.

Technological Characteristics

Adhesive pulse oximetry sensors; red and infrared LED light sources; photodiode detector. Includes memory chip for sensor data and patient history storage. Compatible with Nellcor OxiMax-capable monitors. Non-invasive optical sensing principle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for continuous non-invasive monitoring of SpO2 and pulse rate in neonatal, pediatric, and adult patients. Suitable for well or poorly perfused patients under no-motion conditions in hospital, transport, or home settings. Prescription use only.

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.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Nellcor OxiMax Pulse Oximetry Sensors, models MAX-AL, MAX-AL, MAX-P, MAX-I and MAX-FAST are designed for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate in conjunction with a Nellcor pulse oximeter. Nellcor OxiMax Pulse Oximetry Sensors, models MAX-A, MAX-AL, MAX-N, MAX-P, MAX-I and MAX-FAST are intended for prescription use with adult, pediatric and neonatal patients in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport, and home environments.

These OxiMax sensors each contain a memory chip carrying information about the sensor which the oximeter needs for correct operation including sensor model, Advanced Signal Evaluation, and data set revision. The memory chip is also cable of storing including in-sensor data when connected to an OxiMax-capable monitor, and lot code.

#### 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 conditions and for patients who are either well or poorly perfused, in hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport, and home environments. These devices are for prescription use only.

# TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The OxiMax Pulse Oximetry System measures functional oxygen saturation non-invasively 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 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are utilized as light sources. A photodiode acting as a photo detector senses the signal strengths of the two wavelengths of light, which vary with the amount of light transmitted through the tissue. The 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.

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 insensor data, allows OxiMax-cable oximeters 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.

# TESTS PERFORMED TO SUPPORT DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

Clinical tests were performed to support accuracy specifications for SpO2 performance. 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.

## CONCLUSION

The device characteristics and results of clinical testing demonstrate that the revision to the labeling does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the legally marketed predicate devices.
