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 Spectrum is a General Hospital device classified under product code FOZ, intended for use in hospital settings. It is designed as a spectrophotometer, a device that measures the intensity of light absorbed or emitted by a sample to determine its chemical composition or concentration. This analytical tool is commonly employed in clinical laboratories for diagnostic testing, including blood gas analysis, electrolyte measurement, and other biochemical assessments. Its functionality relies on precise optical and electronic components to ensure accurate and reliable results.

The Spectrum is supplied as a reusable medical device, intended for use in controlled laboratory environments. It requires proper calibration and maintenance to ensure measurement accuracy and is not intended for single-use applications. The device is not explicitly marked as MRI-safe or unsafe in the provided data, though its use in magnetic resonance imaging environments would depend on additional safety assessments. Storage should follow manufacturer guidelines to preserve functionality, and its regulatory status includes a Traditional 510K clearance under the FDA’s Substantially Equivalent determination (K852078).
