Purpose: The purpose of the Ceramatec family of galvanic oxygen sensors is to be the oxygen-sensing component in a finished medical device that monitors oxygen concentration.

Function: The Ceramatec galvanic oxygen sensors are used in finished medical device products such as oxygen monitors, oxygen analyzers, ventilators and humidifiers.

Target Patient Population: The target patient population consists of those patients who require the oxygen concentration in their breathing environment to be monitored.

Environment of Use: The Ceramatec family of galvanic oxygen sensors is used in finished medical devices (i.e., oxygen monitors, oxygen analyzers, ventilators, humidifiers, etc.) in patient environments whose temperatures range from 5 °C - 40 °C and from 5% - 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).

Device Claims: The Ceramatec family of galvanic oxygen sensors consists of oxygen sensing components in finished medical devices that have the indication or claim of monitoring oxygen concentration in the patients’ breathing environment.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
