## Indications for Use

The RAC 2A adds modularity to the Marquette Eagle configured product line. It is used to house the module [SAM (Smart Anesthesia Multi-gas) module] and provides an interface to the Eagle display. The module's patient information may be displayed on the Marquette Eagle monitor. This device is intended to be used by personnel trained in the use of the equipment. It is intended to be used within the hospital/facility environment.

## Device Story

RAC 2A is a module housing unit designed to add modularity to the Marquette Eagle patient monitor product line. It functions as a physical interface, housing the SAM (Smart Anesthesia Multi-gas) module and connecting it to the Eagle monitor display. Used in hospital/facility environments by trained clinical personnel, the device enables the transmission and visualization of patient data from the SAM module onto the Eagle monitor. It does not perform independent physiological monitoring but serves as a conduit for data integration, allowing clinicians to view anesthesia gas information alongside other patient vitals, thereby facilitating clinical decision-making during patient care.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. The submission relies on bench testing, including reliability and software testing, to demonstrate that the device meets its intended use and performs substantially equivalent to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

The RAC 2A is a modular housing unit providing a physical and electrical interface between the SAM module and the Eagle monitor. It is a component of the Marquette Eagle configured product line. No specific materials or energy sources are detailed beyond its role as a system interface. Software is present to facilitate data communication between the module and the display.

## Regulatory Identification

A carbon dioxide gas analyzer is a device intended to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory, circulatory, and metabolic status. The device may use techniques such as chemical titration, absorption of infrared radiation, gas chromatography, or mass spectrometry.

## Predicate Devices

- Eagle patient monitors ([K960272](/device/K960272.md), [K960418](/device/K960418.md), [K961139](/device/K961139.md))
- Tram-rac ([K900598](/device/K900598.md))
- Tram-rac / SAM module ([K943977](/device/K943977.md), [K950581](/device/K950581.md))
