- **Applicant:** Sensidyne, Inc.
- **Product Code:** [DQA](/submissions/CV/subpart-c%E2%80%94cardiovascular-monitoring-devices/DQA.md)
- **Decision Date:** Feb 12, 2002
- **Decision:** SESE
- **Submission Type:** Traditional
- **Regulation:** 21 CFR 870.2700
- **Device Class:** Class 2
- **Review Panel:** Cardiovascular
- **Attributes:** Pediatric

## Indications for Use

Non-invasive monitoring of patient oxygen saturation (SpO₂), pulse rate, and plethysmographic pulse wave. These sensors can be used for Adult, Pediatric and/or Neonate/Infant applications with the appropriate DPT accessory.

## Device Story

Sensaid SpO2 sensors (models RC-NCR11-3, RC-NCR10-3, RC-OHM20-10) function as patient-applied accessories for pulse oximetry systems. Sensors detect light absorption changes in tissue to measure oxygen saturation and pulse rate; output includes SpO2 values, pulse rate, and plethysmographic waveforms. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals to monitor patient respiratory and cardiovascular status. Data is processed by compatible host oximeter monitors to assist in clinical decision-making regarding patient oxygenation. Benefits include continuous, non-invasive assessment of patient status.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use.

## Technological Characteristics

Pulse oximetry sensor; non-invasive optical sensing; compatible with adult, pediatric, and neonatal/infant applications via DPT accessories. Class II device (Product Code 74 DQA).

## Regulatory 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.

Sensaid SpO2 Sensors (RC-NCR11-3, RC-NCR10-3, and RC-OHM20-10) Regulation Number: 870.2700 Regulation Name: Oximeter Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: 74 DQA Dated: December 20, 2001 Received: December 21, 2001

Dear Mr. Mason:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate for are navaior 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
