Overview

AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The Pixel 3 System is an Image Processing Device for Estimation of External Blood Loss, classified under product code PBZ. It employs software and hardware to analyze surgical sponges and estimate hemoglobin (Hb) mass, providing an adjunctive tool for quantifying blood loss during surgical procedures. Designed for use in general and plastic surgery settings, it supports intraoperative blood management by correlating Hb mass with user-input patient data to derive an estimated blood volume.

This device is supplied as a reusable system comprising validated software, hardware, and accessory components. It is intended for use in sterile surgical environments and requires compatibility with pre-validated sponges and accessories. The Pixel 3 System operates under FDA 510(k) clearance (DEN130015) and falls under Class 2 regulatory classification. No specific MRI safety or sterility certification beyond standard surgical practice is noted in the submission data.

Questions

AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What is the Pixel 3 System used for?

    The Pixel 3 System is designed as an adjunctive tool for estimating external blood loss during surgical procedures. It analyzes pre-validated sponges using software and hardware to measure hemoglobin (Hb) mass, which can then be correlated with user-input patient data to derive an estimated blood volume. This helps clinicians monitor and manage blood loss intraoperatively in general and plastic surgery settings.

  • Is the Pixel 3 System reusable or single-use?

    The Pixel 3 System is supplied as a reusable device. It consists of validated software, hardware, and accessory components that are intended for repeated use in sterile surgical environments. The system requires compatibility with pre-validated sponges and accessories to ensure accurate blood loss estimation.

  • How does sterility work with the Pixel 3 System?

    The Pixel 3 System is intended for use in sterile surgical environments, but it is not explicitly certified for sterility beyond standard surgical practices. The reusable hardware and accessories must be handled and processed according to established surgical sterilization protocols to maintain a sterile field during use.

  • What regulatory clearance does the Pixel 3 System have?

    The Pixel 3 System holds FDA 510(k) clearance under the designation DEN130015, classifying it as a Class 2 medical device. This clearance confirms its compliance with U.S. regulatory standards for use as an image processing device for estimating external blood loss in surgical settings.

  • Does the Pixel 3 System require specific sponge or accessory compatibility?

    Yes, the Pixel 3 System is designed to work only with pre-validated sponges and accessories. These components must meet the system’s specifications to ensure accurate hemoglobin mass estimation and reliable blood loss quantification. Using non-compatible sponges or accessories may compromise the device’s performance.
