An oximeter catheter, single-use is a flexible tube with a fiberoptic bundle at its tip that measures blood oxygen levels by analyzing light reflected or scattered from blood. It is used clinically to estimate oxygen concentration in the bloodstream, typically during critical care monitoring, and works in conjunction with an external oximeter device to provide real-time data.
As a single-use device, it is intended for one patient and one procedure only, then discarded. Regulatory oversight focuses on its sterility, material safety, and performance as a disposable diagnostic tool, with classification and supply requirements based on its intended use as a non-reusable, invasive monitoring catheter.
