UPH-2000 Universal Oximetry Probe Holder

The UPH-2000 is designed to improve pulse oximetry accuracy in settings where probe movement—such as during patient transport, ambulation, or restless sleep—could otherwise cause unreliable readings. Its secure, stable positioning minimizes artifacts from shifting, making it ideal for critical care units, emergency departments, operating rooms, or any environment where continuous, accurate oxygen saturation monitoring is critical. The holder’s universal design ensures compatibility with standard oximetry probes, reducing the need for specialized adapters.

The UPH-2000 is explicitly designed for single-use only, as stated in its description. This classification aligns with clinical best practices for maintaining sterility and hygiene, particularly in pulse oximetry applications where contamination risks could compromise patient safety. Each unit is supplied sterile and intended for immediate use in one patient encounter.

The device requires no special storage conditions—it can be kept at standard room temperature until ready for use. Since it is supplied sterile and intended for single-use, there’s no need for refrigeration or protective packaging beyond what’s provided. Clinicians should ensure the sterile barrier remains intact until the time of use to maintain sterility.

The UPH-2000 received FDA 510(k) clearance under the Traditional pathway (decision date: July 14, 1992) and was determined to be substantially equivalent to a predicate device. This means it meets the agency’s requirements for safety and effectiveness as established by prior devices in the same category (product code DQA). Clinically, this clearance confirms its suitability for secure oximetry probe positioning, but users should always follow facility protocols for device integration and maintenance.
