## Intended Use

The TCM4 Monitoring System is intended for continuous transcutaneous monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures. It is indicated for use on neonates, pediatrics, and adults not under gas anesthesia. The TCM40 Monitoring System is intended for continuous transcutaneous monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures as well as of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin and pulse rate. It is indicated for use on neonates, pediatrics, and adults not under gas anesthesia.

## Device Story

TCM4/40 Monitoring Systems consist of a monitor unit, combined oxygen/carbon dioxide interface module, electrode assembly, and (for TCM40) an oxygen saturation/pulse module. Device inputs include transcutaneous gas signals and pulse oximetry data. The system processes these inputs to provide continuous real-time monitoring of pO2, pCO2, SpO2, and pulse rate. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers to monitor patient physiological status. Output is displayed on a touch screen, allowing clinicians to assess patient respiratory and circulatory health. Benefits include non-invasive, continuous monitoring of gas exchange and oxygenation status, aiding in clinical decision-making for patients not under gas anesthesia.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Safety and performance were established through bench testing and compliance with consensus standards including IEC-60601-1, IEC-60601-1-2, IEC-60601-2-23, IEC-60601-3-1, EN-865, and IEC-60601-1-8.

## Technological Characteristics

Monitor unit includes cabinet, touch screen, electronic controls, power supply, and battery. Uses combined tcpO2/tcpCO2 electrodes and pulse/SpO2 sensors. Connectivity includes integrated monitoring unit. Safety standards: IEC-60601-1, IEC-60601-1-2, IEC-60601-2-23, IEC-60601-3-1, EN-865, IEC-60601-1-8.

## Regulatory Identification

A cutaneous carbon dioxide (PcCO2) monitor is a noninvasive heated sensor and a pH-sensitive glass electrode placed on a patient's skin, which is intended to monitor relative changes in a hemodynamically stable patient's cutaneous carbon dioxide tension as an adjunct to arterial carbon dioxide tension measurement.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Cutaneous Carbon Dioxide (PcCO2) and Oxygen (PcO2) Monitors; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 868.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

#### Device Description

The TCM4/40 Monitoring Systems essentially consist in a monitor unit, a combined oxygen/carbon dioxide interface module along with the combined electrodes assembly and (for the TCM40 only) an oxygen saturation/pulse module with a selection of three sensors.

#### Intended use

The TCM4 Monitoring System is intended for continuous transcutaneous monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures. It is indicated for use on neonates, pediatrics, and adults not under gas anesthesia.

The TCM40 Monitoring System is intended for continuous transcutaneous monitoring of oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures as well as of oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin and pulse rate. It is indicated for use on neonates, pediatrics, and adults not under gas anesthesia.

## Technological characteristics

The monitoring unit (including software, cabinet, touch screen, electronic controls, power supply and battery) is an adaptation of Radiometer's TCM400 Monitoring System, with only one combined tcp02/tcpCO2 electrode and (for the TCM40 only) one pulse/SoO2 sensor (the TCM400 has up to 6 separate tcg0> electrodes). The combined tcp02/tcpCO2 electrode is identical to the electrode used in Radiometer's previous generation TCM3 Monitoring System. The pulse/SpO2 sensors are identical to the sensors used with Puritan Nellcor Bennett's OxiMAX N-550 Pulse Oximetry System.

## Safety and performance evaluation studies

In order to ensure TCM4/40 Monitoring Systems is safe and effective for its intended use, it has been designed and tested to the requirements of the following standards:

- . IEC-60601-1:1988 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for safety
- IEC-60601-1-2:2001 . Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-2: General Requirements for Safety Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests
- IEC-60601-2-23:1999 . Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-23: Particular reguirements for the safety, including essential performance, of transcutaneous partial pressure monitoring equipment
- IEC-60601-3-1:1996 . Medical Electrical Equipment Part 3-1: Essential performance requirements for transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressure monitoring equipment
- EN-865:1997 . Pulse oximeters - Particular requirements

. IEC-60601-1-8:2003

Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-8: General requirements for safety Collateral standard: General requirements, tests and quidance for alarm systems in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems

Based upon the extensive use of consensus standards covering all aspects of safety and performance, no clinical evaluation was deemed necessary to assess the product performance levels.

## Conclusions from safety and performance evaluation studies

Compliance with the requirements in the above-named safety and performance standards demonstrates that the TCM4/40 Monitoring Systems are state-of-the-art transcutaneous oxygen/carbon dioxide monitors and pulse oximeters that have the necessary safety mechanisms and performs up to the requirements of the relevant international consensus standards.

Dear Mr. Pelletier:

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 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) 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 Ecderal Register.
