SpO2 Accuracy of Noninvasive Pulse Oximeter Sensor With Motion Conditions

In this study, the level of oxygen within the blood will be reduced in a controlled manner by reducing the concentration of oxygen the study volunteer breathes. The accuracy of a noninvasive pulse oximeter sensor will be assessed by comparison to the oxygen saturation measurements from a laboratory blood gas analyzer.

A machine will be used to induce motions of 20 mm during testing at a sine rate of 2Hz, 3Hz, and 4Hz. A third motion moves the arm a random distance of 0 to 30mm at a random speed up to 5Hz.

It is required that the Accuracy Root Mean Square (ARMS) performance of the Stryker pulse oximetry sensors will meet a specification of +/-3% with a target of +/-3% or better in motion conditions for the range of 70 - 100% SaO2 (typically, saturation is determined once with air breathing and then at three or six levels, e.g. 94%, 90%, 85%, 80%, 75% and 70% or 95%, 85% and 75% saturation for about 30-60 seconds or 60-90 seconds at each level), thereby demonstrating an acceptable SpO2 accuracy performance specification. This study should utilize a three level structure (95%, 85% and 75%).
