NBM-200 Clinical Study in Blood Donation Setting

Overview

The NBM-200 is a portable Hemoglobin and oximetry monitor, based on occlusion spectroscopy technology, for non-invasive spot checking of hemoglobin (Hb), estimated Hematocrit (Hct), SpO2 and pulse rate. The NBM-200 includes a reusable ring-shaped sensor probe that fits on the patient's finger, and a portable desktop monitor that calculates and displays the measurement result. The sensor probe consists of a multi-wavelength optical measuring system and inflatable cuff employing pneumatic tissue manipulation. Blood flow in the finger can be briefly occluded and the resulting changes in its optical behavior are analyzed to provide accurate measurements of Hb.

The proposed study plan will support a 510(k) submission for the non-invasive NBM-200 system with a blood bank indication. In accordance with the agency's suggestion, OrSense plans to use as a predicate an FDA-cleared blood analyzer with a hemoglobin test method that is traceable to the cyanmethemoglobin method or that was standardized and calibrated using the International Council for Standardization in Hematology (ICSH) hemoglobin standard, e.g., the HemoCue-301 or EKF's Hemo Control Hemoglobin Measurement System. OrSense further plans to use the cleared NBM-200 (K142209) as a reference device. Clinical data will be collected in a blood donor population using 3 methods to check hemoglobin (Hb): (1) the non-invasive NBM-200 system; (2) a point-of-care device based on finger sticks that is FDA-cleared for use in blood banks, such as the HemoCue or EKF device; and (3) a laboratory analyzer based on venous blood samples. Participants will be recruited via email and during their visit to the designated donor rooms.
