The CareGuide™ Oximeter is intended for use as an adjunct, non-invasive monitor of the hemoglobin oxygen saturation of microvascular blood in a region of skeletal muscle tissue beneath the sensor. The sensor may be positioned on pigmented skin. The CareGuide displays the most recent value of SmO2, as well as a graphical trend of previous SmO2 measurements. The CareGuide System should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or therapy. Note: The prospective clinical value of data from the CareGuide™ Oximeter has not been demonstrated in disease states.
Device Story
CareGuide Oximeter uses Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to monitor skeletal muscle tissue oxygen saturation (SmO2). System comprises a touch-screen display unit and a reusable sensor with a disposable sleeve. Sensor illuminates skin with LEDs (700-900 nm range) and uses a spectroscopic detector to analyze reflected light; an integrated microprocessor controls optical components. Device calculates SmO2 from collected spectra and displays current values and graphical trends. Used in clinical settings; operated by healthcare providers. Output provides adjunct data for monitoring; not intended as sole diagnostic or therapeutic basis. Benefits include non-invasive assessment of tissue oxygenation, with sensor configuration designed to mitigate effects of skin pigmentation.
Clinical Evidence
Accuracy validated against a laboratory co-oximeter using an isolated perfused animal limb GLP study. Clinical performance regarding the ability to measure tissue oxygen saturation on subjects with varying skin pigmentation was demonstrated in a clinical environment.
Technological Characteristics
NIR spectroscopy; LED light source (700-900 nm); reusable sensor with disposable sleeve; 3m USB-connected sensor; all-in-one touch screen display computer. Multi-source configuration for skin pigmentation compensation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for non-invasive monitoring of hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SmO2) in microvascular blood of skeletal muscle tissue. Suitable for use on pigmented skin. Not for use as sole basis for diagnosis or therapy.
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
The CareGuide sensor uses Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to calculate muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2).
| Characteristics | Reflectance Medical CareGuide Oximeter |
|------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Principle of Operation | NIR spectroscopy |
| Components | Monitor with reusable sensor and disposable pad |
| Light Source | LEDs |
| Parameters Measured | Tissue oxygen saturation (SmO2) |
The CareGuide Display is an all-in-one touch screen off-the-shelf computer. The display contains the user interface software, the algorithms that calculate SmQ2 from collected spectra, displays the current SmO2 result and trends previous results. The CareGuide reusable sensor contains the optical and electronic elements necessary to collect spectra from skin, fat and muscle. The sensor has a 3m long cord with a USB connection to the CareGuide display. The sensor contains 3 major components: (1) light sources to illuminate the skin; (2) a spectroscopic detector to analyze the reflected spectra back from the subject and (3) a microprocessor to

control the optical components. The CareGuide Ray is a disposable sleeve which isolates the sensor optical elements from the patient's skin.
### Indications for Use
The CareGuide™ Oximeter is intended for use as an adjunct, non-invasive monitor of the hemoglobin oxygen saturation of microvascular blood in a region of skeletal muscle tissue beneath the sensor. The sensor may be positioned on pigmented skin. The CareGuide displays the most recent value of SmO2, as well as a graphical trend of previous SmO2 measurements. The CareGuide System should not be used as the sole basis for diagnosis or therapy. Note: The prospective clinical value of data from the CareGuide™ Oximeter has not been demonstrated in disease states.
### Rationale for Substantial Equivalence
The CareGuide™ Oximeter is substantially equivalent to the Somanetics Invos™ Somatic Oximeter (K051274), the Hutchinson InSpectra™ StO2 Monitor (K012759) and the Hutchinson Spot Check StO2 Monitor (K103613).
The CareGuide Oximeter is substantially equivalent to the predicates by intended use and design.
- . The principle of operation of the CareGuide Oximeter is identical to that of the predicate devices. They all use NIR Spectroscopy to measure tissue oxygen saturation.
- . The CareGuide Oximeter is identical to the predicates in components. All devices have a Monitor with a Sensor.
- . The CareGuide Oximeter has the same underlying LED light source as the predicates. with the similar ranges of wavelength (700-900 nm between the three devices).
- The CareGuide Oximeter and the predicates all display output as a numeric trend. .
- The Intended Use is identical to the predicates. They are all intended for use as . oximeters, to measure tissue oxygen saturation.
Further, the CareGuide Oximeter has multiple number of wavelengths like the T-Stat predicate Oximeter
## Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data
Testing demonstrates that the CareGuide Oximeter is a safe and effective oximeter meeting all relevant consensus and FDA recognized standards. The test results in this submission demonstrate that the CareGuide Oximeter meets the expected performance requirements for an Oximeter, and is therefore equivalent to the predicates relative to safety and mechanical properties. The accuracy of the CareGuide Oximeter against the gold reference standard of a

laboratory co-oximeter was demonstrated in an isolated perfused animal limb GLP study. The ability of the CareGuide Oximeter to measure tissue oxygen saturation in subjects with different skin color (pigmentation) has been demonstrated in the clinical environment.
# Conclusion
The CareGuide Oximeter is equivalent to predicate devices in terms of technology (NIR Spectroscopy) and intended use. The CareGuide Oximeter, with its multiple source configuration to overcome the effect of skin pigmentation, does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness, as compared to the predicates. Therefore, the CareGuide Oximeter is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
