When a patient is in respiratory distress and SpO2 is lower than 80%, accurate real-time information is crucial for the right clinical decisions. The unique Expanded Accuracy LoSat™ Accuracy Range 60% to 100% empowers patient management in challenging situations.([FOOTNOTE=FDA 510(k).],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
Nellcor™ pulse oximetry with OxiMax™ technology specifies a highly accurate measurement of SpO2, even in some of the most challenging patients.([FOOTNOTE=NCT01720355 at Clinical Trials.gov.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
