Conditions

Hypoxia

Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare values of SpO2 provided by the DUT and the SaO2 used as a reference in healthy adults. The main question it aims to answer is: what is the accuracy of the subject device compared to the 510(k)-cleared reference device A radial arterial cannula was placed in the wrist of each subject for arterial blood sampling and a subject device was placed on each arm of the patients. Then, hypoxia was induced to different stable levels of oxyhemoglobin saturation between 70-100% by having subjects breathe mixtures of nitrogen, air, and carbon dioxide controlled by the study physician. Values of SpO2 and SaO2 were then compared to provide a root mean square error and conclude on the subject device accuracy.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTMixtures of nitrogen, air, and carbon dioxide

Hypoxia was induced to different and stable levels of oxyhemoglobin saturation (between 70-100%) by having subjects breathe mixtures of nitrogen, air, and carbon dioxide controlled by the study physician by adjusting gas flows with valves according to breath-by-breath estimates of oxygen saturation calculated from end-tidal PO2 and PCO2 displayed on a screen using LabVIEW 2015

MeasureTime frameDescription
Measure of Accuracy (ARMS [%])1 hourArms, given in percentage or rms error, is the calculation of root mean square between SpO2 values from the subject device and the SaO2 from the Hemoximeter. It is a way of averaging the absolute values of errors over the full measurement range and is a similar measurmeent to a rms error. It indicates how far (accurate) the provided value is from the reference used.
