About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the oxygen saturation accuracy performance of Belun Ring Oximeter placed on the index fingers during non-motion conditions

Full description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the SpO2 accuracy performance of Belun Ring Oximeter placed on the index fingers during non-motion conditions over the range of 70-100% SaO2, arterial blood samples, assessed by CO-Oximetry. It is expected that the Accuracy Root Mean Square (ARMS) performance of the oximetry system will meet the required specification of ARMS of 3.5% or less allowed for reflectance technology in non-motion conditions for the range of 70 - 100% SaO2.

The Clinimark proprietary Desaturation Fixture with Automated Data Collection is a single limb blow by system used to deliver medical grade oxygen and nitrogen gas mixtures to induce various hypoxic levels in subjects at a slow steady rate allowing an automatic marking and collection of the Control or secondary Transfer reference Pulse Oximeter and other pulse oximetry systems at 1 second intervals.

The Control Pulse Oximeter, an FDA cleared device, is used to monitor the oxygen saturation levels real time throughout the study for subject safety and to target stable plateaus. This device is used to assess the stability of the data.

Multi-parameter monitor used during the study to observe a subject's vital signs including ECG tracing, heart rate, respiratory rate, end-tidal CO2 with capnograph, secondary monitor for the oxygen concentration being delivered to the subject.

A whole blood analyzer (CO-Oximeter) is used as the reference standard device for obtaining the functional SaO2 value from arterial blood samples obtained during the study.

Inclusion criteria

• Subject must have the ability to understand and provide written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

• Subject is considered as being morbidly obese (defined as BMI large than 39.5).
• Compromised circulation, injury, or physical malformation of fingers, toes, hands, ears or forehead/skull or other sensor sites which would limit the ability to test sites needed for the study. (Note: Certain malformations may still allow subjects to participate if the condition is noted and would not affect the particular sites utilized.)

• Subjects with COHb levels larger than 3% as assessed with a Masimo Radical 7 (Rainbow).
• Subjects with known respiratory conditions such as (self-reported) uncontrolled / severe asthma, flu, pneumonia / bronchitis, shortness of breath / respiratory distress, respiratory or lung surgery, emphysema, COPD, lung disease.
• Subjects with known heart or cardiovascular conditions such as: (self-reported), except for blood pressure and ECG review) hypertension, have had cardiovascular surgery, Chest pain (angina), heart rhythms other than a normal sinus rhythm or with respiratory sinus arrhythmia, previous heart attack, blocked artery, unexplained shortness of breath, congestive heart failure (CHF), history of stroke, transient ischemic attack, carotid artery disease, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy.
• Self-reported health conditions as identified in the Health Assessment Form (self-reported), diabetes, thyroid disease, kidney disease / chronic renal impairment, history of seizures (except childhood febrile seizures), epilepsy, history of unexplained syncope, recent history of frequent migraine headaches, recent head injury, cancer / chemotherapy.
• Subjects with known clotting disorders (self-reported) history of bleeding disorders or personal history of prolonged bleeding from injury, history of blood clots, hemophilia, current use of blood thinner: prescription or daily use of aspirin.
• Subjects with severe contact allergies to standard adhesives, latex or other materials found in pulse oximetry sensors, ECG electrodes, respiration monitor electrodes or other medical sensors (self-reported).
