Device Classification

Product Code DQA Oximeter
Device Class Class 2 - Special Controls
CFR Regulation 21 CFR 870.2700
What this classification means

Class II devices require demonstration of substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device. Clinical trial data may be submitted as supporting evidence to strengthen the substantial equivalence argument. Most Anesthesiology devices follow this clearance model.
