Hypoxia

Brief summary

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 at rest.

Detailed description

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 at rest.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Accuracy of Sensor Oxygen Saturation by Arms Calculation30 secondsAccuracy will be determined by comparing the noninvasive blood oxygen saturation measurement of the pulse oximeter (SpO2i) to that obtained from a blood sample (SRi) and calculating the arithmetic root mean square (Arms) error value as follows: Arms =Square root (sum of n samples of ((SpO2i - SRi) squared) / n)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Accuracy of Sensor Pulse Rate by Arms Calculation30 secondsAccuracy will be determined by comparing the noninvasive pulse rate measurement of the pulse oximeter (PRi) to the heart rate obtained from an electrocardiography reference device (HRRi) and calculating the arithmetic root mean square (Arms) error value as follows: Arms =Square root (sum of n samples of ((PRi - HRRi) squared) / n)
