Indications for Use
The Assurance™ Nasal / Alar SpO2 Sensor is indicated for single patient use for continuously noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate from the nasal ala of adult and pediatric patients (weighing > 30kg), who are well or poorly perfused. The sensor can be used in a variety of healthcare environments where compatible pulse oximetry monitors are indicated for use, under professional supervision.
Device Story
Disposable pulse oximetry sensor; attaches to nasal ala using soft silicone rubber cushions. Inputs: red (660 nm) and infrared (880 nm) light transmitted through tissue; detected by silicon photodiode. Principle: spectrophotometric measurement of light absorption by oxygenated vs. deoxygenated blood. Output: SpO2 and pulse rate data transmitted via DB-9 connector to compatible pulse oximetry monitors. Used in clinical healthcare environments under professional supervision. Healthcare providers view output on monitor screen to assess patient oxygenation status and heart rate; aids in clinical decision-making regarding respiratory support or patient stability. Benefits: provides continuous, noninvasive monitoring for patients where traditional finger sensors may be unsuitable or poorly perfused.
Clinical Evidence
Controlled desaturation study conducted on healthy volunteers per ISO 80601-2-61. Performance evaluated across 8 different oximetry platforms. Primary endpoint: SpO2 accuracy (ARMS) in the 70-100% range under steady-state/non-motion conditions. Results showed ARMS values ranging from 1.5 to 2.2 across platforms, meeting the specification of ≤ 3%.
Technological Characteristics
Disposable nasal/alar sensor; silicone rubber cushions; red (660 nm) and IR (880 nm) LEDs; silicon photodiode detector. Connects via DB-9 connector. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and ISO 80601-2-61 (mechanical strength, fluid ingress, temperature). Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for single patient use for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate in adult and pediatric patients weighing > 30kg, including well or poorly perfused patients, in healthcare environments under professional supervision.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

### Device Description:
The Alar / Nasal SpO2 Sensor is a disposable, single patient use Pulse Oximetry sensor designed to attach to the patient's nasal alar region - the fleshy region at the side of the nose. Skin contact and adhesive free sensor retention is via soft silicone rubber cushions encapsulating the optical components. The Alar / Nasal SpO2 Sensor with its associated patient cable, terminates in a DB-9 connector compatible with monitors employing Nellcor SpO2 technology.
The sensor utilizes red and IR LED light sources of 660 nm and 880 nm respectively along with a silicon photodiode detector to detect changes in oxygen saturation in the blood. Since oxygen saturated blood absorbs different amounts of light at each wavelength (red and infrared) as compared with unsaturated blood, the amount of light absorbed at each wavelength by the blood in each pulse can be used to calculate oxygen saturation.
### Indications for Use:
The Assurance™ Nasal / Alar SpO2 Sensor is indicated for single patient use for continuously noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO-) and pulse rate from the nasal ala of adult and pediatric patients (weighing > 30kg), who are well or poorly perfused. The sensor can be used in a variety of healthcare environments where compatible pulse oximetry monitors are indicated for use, under professional supervision.

## Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The table above compares the key features of the proposed Assurance™ Alar / Nasal SpO2 Sensor as compared to the predicate Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 Sensor (K122996) and the predicate Nellcor OxiMax Sensor (K060576).
## Discussion of Differences:
The differences between the proposed Alar / Nasal SpO- Sensor and the predicate Alar Sensor (K122996):
- · The Alar / Nasal SpO2 Sensor has 1 (one) wire connecting the sensor to the DB-9 connector.
- The predicate device had a separate AB-N Adaptor Cable that was necessary to o connect to a DB-9 port.
- The proposed Alar / Nasal SpO2 Sensor removed the need for the additional o adaptor by direct connection of the sensor assembly to the cable with a DB-9 connector.
- The proposed Alar / Nasal SpO2 Sensor has a PCB with embedded software that is ● directly connected to the DB-9 connector.
- This allows the sensor to communicate with the compatible pulse oximetry o equipment and display the SpO2 and heart rate data on the screen.
- Pulse Rate Accuracy - Testing was performed for the accuracy of pulse rate over the range from 30-240 bpm using a SpO2 simulator the results were identical pulse rate accuracy within + 3 bpm over the tested range. We tested 30-240 bpm when the predicate Alar (K122996) was tested at 30-250 bpm. This test method difference is not significant as long as it is disclosed in the labeling and is equivalent to the predicate K122996 - Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor.
Discussion - These differences can be viewed as substantially equivalent and do not raise any new safety or effectiveness concerns when compared to the predicate K122996 - Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor.
In summary one can conclude that substantial equivalence is met based upon the following:
Indications for Use – The indications for use are identical for the proposed device when compared to the predicate - K122996 - Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor. Discussion - Each device is indicated for use as a pulse oximeter sensor.
Technology and construction - The technology is identical to the predicate K122996 - Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor. The basic design, fabrication, constructions and materials are identical to the predicate K122996 - Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor. Discussion - The basic design, fabrication, constructions and materials are identical to the predicate K122996 - Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor.
Patient Population - The patient population is identical to the predicate K122996 - Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor.
Discussion - The patient population is identical - predicate and adults > 30kg.

## 510(k) Summary Page 5 of 6 16-Mar-15
Environment of Use - The environments of use are identical to the predicate K122996 - Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor. Discussion - Both devices are used in the identical settings.
### Non-Clinical Testing Summary -
Pulse Rate Accuracy - Testing was performed for the accuracy of pulse rate over the range from 30-240 bpm using a SpO2 simulator the results were identical pulse rate accuracy within + 3 bpm over the tested range.
Discussion - The Pulse Rate Accuracy is equivalent to the predicate K122996 - Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor.
Inter-device reliability and accuracy - Testing of the sensor across a range of test conditions and the testing showed the pulse rate to be within + 3 bpm over the range.
Discussion - The inter-device reliability and accuracy is identical to the predicates K122996 -Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor and K060576 - Nellcor OxiMax sensor.
Skin Temperature - Per ISO 80601-2-61 the maximum temperature limit is 41°C. Testing showed that corrected for 35°C the proposed sensor did not exceed this limit. Results ranged from 34.3 to 39.1℃.
Discussion - The results are substantially equivalent to the predicates s K122996 – Xhale Assurance™ Alar SpO2 sensor and K060576 - Nellcor OxiMax sensor.
Materials - The materials were tested per ISO 10993-1 for the submission K122996 and we have not changed the materials.
Discussion - The materials are identical to the predicate K122996 - Xhale Assurance™M Alar SpO2.
### Clinical Testing
