Nellcor™ pulse oximetry monitors are designed to meet your CCHD screening needs. Medtronic is the only company to receive FDA clearance for a motion-tolerant bedside pulse oximeter portfolio that is also compliant with ISO 80601-2-61 (International Organization for Standardization) standards for pulse oximetry.
A published study revealed an artifact in Masimo pulse oximeters, that increased saturation values of 87-90% by an additional 2%. In CCHD screening, an increase from 89% to 91% could mask some cases of CCHD, resulting in false negative screens with the Masimo pulse oximeters.([FOOTNOTE=Johnston ED, Boyle B, Juszczak E, King A, Brocklehurst P, Stenson BJ.
