NellcorTM OxiMax Pulse Oximeter Accuracy
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction Reliable and accurate pulse oximetry requires the design and operation of the entire system to function together. Contributions ranging from the sensor technology, cabling and electronics, signal processing and alarm technologies, to communicating results to caregivers through local and remote displays, are all critical and interrelated (Figure 1). Many years of experience in each of these individual areas has allowed us to refine and expand NellcorTM pulse oximetry technology into a robust tool for providing critical information to caregivers.

BACKGROUND The OxiMax N-600x containing SatSeconds alarm management software was designed to assist clinicians in discriminating nuisance alarms from those that are clinically relevant. Instead of sounding an alarm the moment the oxygen saturation reading violates the upper or lower limit settings, a magnitude and duration of tolerance can be set. The primary objective was to study the proporti...
متن کاملEffects of skin pigmentation on pulse oximeter accuracy at low saturation.
BACKGROUND It is uncertain whether skin pigmentation affects pulse oximeter accuracy at low HbO2 saturation. METHODS The accuracy of finger pulse oximeters during stable, plateau levels of arterial oxygen saturation (Sao2) between 60 and 100% were evaluated in 11 subjects with darkly pigmented skin and in 10 with light skin pigmentation. Oximeters tested were the Nellcor N-595 with the OxiMax...
