Changes in these parameters provide information on tissue metabolic activity. ## Device Story Tissue Spectroscope performs in-vivo spectroscopic measurements; combines NADH Fluorometer and Laser Doppler Flowmeter. Inputs: radiation transmitted through tissue; outputs: fluorescence of NADH (420-480 nm), Doppler-shifted laser light (325 nm) from moving red blood cells, and total backscattered light (325 nm). Device calculates redox state of mitochondrial NAD/NADH, microvascular blood flow, and total blood volume. Backscattered light used to correct NADH fluorescence for blood volume changes. Changes in these parameters reflect oxygen supply/demand balance. Used by clinicians to monitor tissue metabolic activity. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Combination device: NADH Fluorometer and Laser Doppler Flowmeter. Emits radiation at 325 nm; measures fluorescence at 420-480 nm. Parameters: NADH redox state, microvascular blood flow, total blood volume. No specific materials or software architecture details provided. ## Regulatory Identification A cardiovascular blood flowmeter is a device that is connected to a flow transducer that energizes the transducer and processes and displays the blood flow signal. ## Predicate Devices - Laserflow BPM2 - INVOS 3100A Cerebral Oximeter - LKB-Wallac 1230 Arcus Fluorometer ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Box7292 Petach Tikva 49170, Israel Tel: +972.3.921-3845; Fax: +972.3.921-3847; Name of the Device: Tissue Spectroscope - · Predicate Devices: The Tissue Spectroscope is substantially equivalent to a combination of the Laserflow BPM2, the INVOS 3100A Cerebral Oximeter and the LKB-Wallac 1230 Arcus Fluorometer. Description of the Device: The Tissue Spectroscope is a device that carries out various in-vivo, spectroscopic measurements. It is a combination device consisting of an NADH Fluorometer and a Laser Doppler Flowmeter. The Tissue Spectroscope is used to transmit radiation at a known wavelength through tissue and to measure the fluorescence of NADH and the intensity of light reflected from the tissue, including the Doppler shift arising from the moving red blood cells. The Tissue Spectroscope measures the following three parameters: - 1. Mitochondrial NADH fluorescence at 420 nm to 480 nm. - 2. Doppler shifted laser light (325nm) reflected from moving blood cells. - 3. Total backscattered light (325nm) reflected from the tissue. This parameter allows for correction of the NADH fluorescence measurement due to changes in tissue blood volume. These three parameters contain information, respectively, pertaining to the redox state of mitochondrial NAD/NADH of the tissue, microvascular blood flow in the tissue and total blood volume of the tissue. Changes in these values reflect changes in the balance between oxygen supply and oxygen demand. The differences between the systems raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. July 25.99 Date A.
