FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date May 1, 2000
Product Code DQA
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 40 studies

The Onyx Finger Clip Pulse Oximeter Model 9500 by Nonin Medical was cleared through the FDA 510k pathway on May 1, 2000. It is classified as a Class 2 medical device under product code DQA.

What It Is

The Onyx Finger Clip Pulse Oximeter Model 9500 is a non-invasive device that clips onto a patient's finger to measure oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. It uses light-emitting diodes and a photodetector to assess the amount of oxygen in the blood. This device is particularly useful for quick assessments and continuous monitoring in various clinical settings.

Clinical Applications

This pulse oximeter is widely used in emergency departments, operating rooms, and general wards to monitor patients with respiratory or cardiac conditions. It is essential for anesthesiologists during surgeries and for pulmonologists managing chronic respiratory diseases. The device is also used in outpatient settings for routine check-ups and in-home care for patients requiring long-term oxygen therapy.

Indications for Use

The device is indicated for measuring oxygen saturation and pulse rate in patients. It is particularly useful for individuals with respiratory conditions, those undergoing anesthesia, or patients in critical care settings where continuous monitoring is necessary.

Practical Considerations

The Onyx Finger Clip Pulse Oximeter is designed to fit a wide range of finger sizes and is compatible with both adult and pediatric patients. It is portable and battery-operated, making it convenient for use in various clinical environments. Proper placement on the finger is crucial for accurate readings.
