Intended Use

The BCI 3401 Pulse Oximeter is a handheld, low cost monitor for spot checking or attended monitoring of SpO2, pulse rate and pulse strength. The 3401 is a battery powered pulse oximeter with an optional built-in printer. It may be used in the hospital or clinical environment, and during emergency land. The oximeter will operate accurately over an ambient temperature range of 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C). The oximeter works with all BCI oximetry sensors providing SpO2 and pulse rate on all patients from neonate to adult. This device is not intended for continuous patient monitoring. There are no audible or visable patient alarms. The device is not intended for home use.

Device Story

Handheld pulse oximeter for spot checking or attended monitoring of SpO2, pulse rate, and pulse strength; utilizes BCI oximetry sensors to acquire physiological signals; processes signals to display SpO2 and pulse rate on LED display; optional internal printer for output; battery-powered (4 AA); used in hospitals, clinics, or emergency land transport by clinicians; provides real-time data for clinical assessment; lacks audible/visible alarms; not for continuous monitoring.

Clinical Evidence

Controlled subject desaturation studies compared device performance to a co-oximeter (OSM-3). Results demonstrated accuracy with a standard deviation of 1.97 for the 70-100% SpO2 measurement range and an R-squared value of 0.96, supporting the device's accuracy claims.

Technological Characteristics

Handheld pulse oximeter; LED display; keypad interface; optional internal printer; battery-powered (4 AA); compatible with BCI oximetry sensors; operating temperature range 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C).

Indications for Use

Indicated for spot checking or attended monitoring of SpO2, pulse rate, and pulse strength in patients ranging from neonate to adult in hospital, clinical, or emergency land transport settings. Not for continuous monitoring or home use.

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.

3401 Handheld Pulse Oximeter Pulse Oximeter BCI 3301 Handheld Pulse Oximeter

New Device Description:

The BCI 3401 Handheld Pulse Oximeter is an updated version of an existing pulse oximeter legally marketed by BCI International. The system consists of two major elements. The first is the oximeter featuring the oximeter sensor interface, the LED display, and the keypad. The second element is the optional internal printer. The device is powered by four "AA" batteries.

Intended Use:

The BCI 3401 Pulse Oximeter is a handheld, low cost monitor for spot checking or attended monitoring of SpO2, pulse rate and pulse strength. The 3401 is a battery powered pulse oximeter with an optional built-in printer. It may be used in the hospital or clinical environment, and during emergency land transport. The oximeter will operate accurately over an ambient temperature range of 32 to 131°F (0 to 55°C). The oximeter works with all BCI oximetry sensors providing SpO2 and pulse rate on all patients from neonate to adult.

Performance Data:

The design of this device utilizes currently available technology found in many legally marketed devices. Testing was done to ensure that it would perform within the environment(s) for which it is to be marketed. The testing was performed in accordance with the guidelines and standards found in the reviewers guide for respiratory devices. This testing included EMC, electrical, mechanical durability, safety (operator and patient), and temperature humidity. The results of the testing demonstrated that the device was in compliance with the guidelines and standards referenced in the reviewers guide and that it performed within its specifications and functional requirements.

Additionally, clinically controlled desaturation studies were done to demonstrate that the 3401 accurately displays the patient's blood oxygen level within its accuracy limits as compared to a co-oximeter (OSM-3). Statistical analysis on the data collected from the studies were compared to those from a co-oximeter during the controlled subject desaturation runs. The results from the clinical studies support the accuracy claims of the device, with a standard deviation of 1.97 for the measurement range of 70-100%. The R squared value was 0.96 over the entire range. (R squared - measure of how true the regression line is. R squared = 1 is a perfect fit.} On the basis of these results and the above-referenced testing it is our determination that the device is safe, effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device.

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.

Respectfully,

Donald Alexander

Re : K980714 BCI 3401 Handheld Pulse Oximeter Requlatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 74 DQA February 20, 1998 Dated: Received: February 24, 1998

Dear Mr. Alexander:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
