## Indications for Use

The Nonin® Avant® Model 4000 Digital Pulse Oximetry System is indicated for use in measuring and displaying functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate of adult, pediatric, and infant patients. It is indicated for spot-checking and / or continuous monitoring.

## Device Story

Wireless pulse oximetry system comprising tabletop display unit (Avant 4000) and wrist-worn patient module (Avant 4100); utilizes Bluetooth technology to eliminate cables between module and display. Measures SpO2 and pulse rate noninvasively; displays values via LEDs; includes audible/visual alarms for pulse rate, oxygen saturation, and perfusion. Powered by AC adapter or internal NiMH battery (display) and AA batteries (module). Used in clinical settings for spot-checking or continuous monitoring; provides real-time data output and event markers. Enables patient mobility by removing physical tethering to display unit; assists clinicians in monitoring patient status and making clinical decisions based on oxygenation and pulse rate trends.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench and clinical testing performed to demonstrate functional features and substantial equivalence to predicate devices. No specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity) provided in the summary.

## Technological Characteristics

Wireless pulse oximetry system; Bluetooth connectivity; LED display; NiMH rechargeable battery (display) and AA battery (module) power sources. Class II device (21 CFR 870.2700).

## 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.
