FDA Clearance Information
The Sensmart Model 8006CA and 8006PI were cleared through the FDA 510k pathway on May 2, 2019. Manufactured by Nonin Medical, these devices are classified as Class 2 under product code MUD.
What It Is
FDA-Cleared Indications
- Noninvasive monitoring of regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSO2) in tissue.
- Use with the compatible SenSmart monitoring system during patient care and procedures in which regional tissue oxygenation is monitored.
Clinical Applications
- Monitoring regional tissue oxygenation during surgical procedures.
- Monitoring tissue oxygenation in critical care settings.
- Assessing regional oxygenation when blood flow or oxygen delivery may change during a procedure or treatment.
Practical Considerations
- The Model 8006CA is reusable, while the Model 8006PI is a disposable patient interface intended to provide a hygienic contact layer between the sensor and the patient.
- Verify compatibility with the SenSmart monitor and associated cables before use; the sensor should not be assumed to work with unrelated monitoring systems.
- Correct placement, secure contact and appropriate site preparation are important because movement, poor contact, ambient light and tissue characteristics can affect readings.
- The available FDA record does not establish MRI safety for these components. Confirm MRI labeling with Nonin and the facility's MRI safety team before bringing the sensor or interface into an MRI environment.
- Use and interpretation should follow the manufacturer's instructions. Regional oximetry readings are adjunctive measurements and should be interpreted with the patient's clinical condition and other monitoring data.
