Device utilizes two LEDs as light sources and one photodiode as a light detector to measure light absorption of functional arterial hemoglobin. Housed in a foam and Velcro wrap; connects to oximeter via DB-9 cable (with adapter for Datex models). Used in clinical settings for continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Healthcare providers use the oximeter output to assess patient oxygenation status and guide clinical interventions. Benefits include non-invasive, real-time physiological monitoring. ## Clinical Evidence Clinical hypoxia studies conducted in an independent research lab. Performance compared against arterial blood samples analyzed on a laboratory co-oximeter. Results demonstrated equivalence to predicate device accuracy claims. ## Technological Characteristics Electro-optical sensor; foam and Velcro wrap housing; two LEDs and one photodiode; DB-9 connector with adapter cable. Non-invasive, no electrical contact or heat transfer. Tested for biocompatibility, electrical safety, and EMC per industry standards. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Nellcor pulse oximeter sensors (K86378) - BCI pulse oximeter sensors ([K030930](/device/K030930.md)) - Datex pulse oximeter sensors ([K962156](/device/K962156.md)) - Datex pulse oximeter sensors ([K983684](/device/K983684.md)) - Envitec after-market sensors ([K992215](/device/K992215.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

These sensors are also equivalent to Envitec's after-market sensors marketed under 510(k) # K992215. ## Description: The Flexi-Stat(tm) SpO2 Sensor is an electro-optical sensor that functions without skin penetration, electrical contact, or heat transfer. The sensor uses optical means to determine the light absorption of functional arterial hemoglobin by being connected between the patient and the oximeter. The sensor contains three optical components: two light emitting diodes (LED) that serve as light sources and one photodiode that acts as a light detector. The optical components are housed in a foam and Velcro wrap. The sensor cable is terminated in a DB-9 style connector, with an adapter cable for Datex-compatible models. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Intended Use: The Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor is indicated for continuous, non-invasive functional arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate monitoring. # Comparison to Predicate Device: The Flexi-Stat SpO2 Sensor uses the same theory and principle of operation as the predicate device. Design characteristics are equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness, as demonstrated by product testing and accuracy claims. #### Performance Data & Conclusions: Performance testing was conducted during clinical hypoxia studies conducted in an independent research lab. The Flexi-Stat was compared to arterial blood samples analyzed on a laboratory co-oximeter and found to be equivalent to predicate device accuracy claims. Biocompatibility, electrical safety, and EMC testing was also performed to demonstrate conformance with established industry standards. {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
