Accuracy of Pulse Oximeters With Profound Hypoxia During Motion

Determination of SpO2 and PR Accuracy Specifications During Motion Accuracy of Pulse Oximeters With Profound Hypoxia Pulse Oximeter Accuracy Evaluation Protocol

The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of devices called pulse oximeters, which measure blood oxygen by shining light through fingers, ears or other skin, without requiring blood sampling. Study will be used with patients during controlled motion.

This study is intended to evaluate performance of a new design pulse oximeter (test device) manufactured by Nihon Kohden Corporation sufficiently to support performance claims for an FDA 510K submission or ISO technical file. Specifically, SpO2 and pulse rate accuracy will be assessed for a Nihon Kohden OLV-4202 pulse oximeter with adult patients under a controlled setting of varying levels of inhaled oxygen concentration levels for patients during controlled motion.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Both male and female subjects who can give written informed consent
• Healthy subjects capable of undergoing controlled hypoxemia to the levels outlined in the desaturation profile
• Meeting the demographic requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

• Age below 18 or over 50
• Pregnant women
• Significant arrhythmia
• Blood pressure above 150 systolic or 90 diastolic
• Subjects whom the investigator consider ineligible for the study
