Effect of Skin Pigmentation and Race/Ethnicity Factors on the Accuracy of Masimo Pulse Oximeters

This study is designed to compare the accuracy of a noninvasive measurement of oxygen saturation compared to reference values obtained by a laboratory blood gas analyzer. Subgroups will be analyzed by skin pigmentation and self-identified race/ethnicity information.

Study procedures follow ISO-80601-2-61:2011 standard requirements for basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment. Arterial blood samples will be collected from subjects while undergoing a controlled desaturation procedure wherein the concentration of oxygen inhaled is slowly reduced until the subject's arterial oxygen concentration is approximately 70%.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) Accuracy of INVSENSOR00050	Performance of the INVSENSOR00050 sensor will be determined by comparing the noninvasive oxygen saturation measurement (SpO2) of the pulse oximeter sensors to the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) value obtained from a reference blood sample and calculating the accuracy root mean square (ARMS) value. The ARMS value will be reported as % of oxygen saturated hemoglobin.	1-5 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Comparison of the Median Bias Between Subgroups for the INVSENSOR00050 Sensor	The secondary outcome is to perform equivalence tests between identified subgroups based on skin pigmentation and/or self-identified race/ethnicity. Since the pulse oximeter displays saturation in integer values, equivalence limits will be set to ± 1% SpO2. A TOST procedure using the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test was used to test the hypothesis that the median biases of the INVSENSOR00050 sensor from two pigmentation subgroups (Light and Dark) were equivalent within ± 1% SpO2. The TOST procedure provides a p-value indicating whether the two measures are equivalent if the p-value is less than 0.05.	1-5 hours
Comparison of the Median Bias Between Subgroups for the RD SET SpO2 Sensors	The secondary outcome is to perform equivalence tests between identified subgroups based on skin pigmentation and/or self-identified race/ethnicity. Since the pulse oximeter displays saturation in integer values, equivalence limits will be set to ± 1% SpO2. A TOST procedure using the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test was used to test the hypothesis that the median biases of the RD SET SpO2 sensor from two pigmentation subgroups (Light and Dark) were equivalent within ± 1 %SpO2. The TOST procedure provides a p-value indicating whether the two measures are equivalent if the p-value is less than 0.05.	1-5 hours
