Pulse oximetry OEM solutions

Nellcor™ multi-functional respiratory PCBA OEM platform

Nellcor™ multi-functional respiratory (MFR) PCBA platform offers Nellcor™ SpO₂, pulse rate, and respiration rate technology in a single-sensor design.

Features

The new Nellcor™ multi-functional respiratory (MFR) PCBA platform offers Nellcor™ SpO2 pulse rate and respiration rate technology in a single-sensor design, providing a more complete picture of a patient’s respiratory status.

Based on industry-leading Nellcor™ pulse oximetry with OxiMax™ technology and SatSeconds alarm management, the Nellcor™ multi-functional respiratory PCBA platform makes new respiratory parameter features, including Nellcor™ respiration rate software and saturation pattern detection (SPD) alert, available to OEM partners for implementation.1

The Nellcor™ multi-functional respiratory PCBA platform delivers respiratory and SpO2 monitoring parameters, including:

  • Nellcor™ respiration rate (RR) software — from a single, integrated RR-enabled adult SpO2 sensor
  • Saturation pattern detection (SPD) alert — provides a real-time indication of the presence of repetitive reductions in airflow (RRiA) through an adult patient’s upper airway and lungs
  • SatSeconds alarm management — a clinician-controlled feature that may differentiate between serious hypoxemia and minor transient events
In addition, Nellcor™ cardiac-based pulse oximetry with OxiMax™ technology features:
  • LoSat™ accuracy range of 60% to 80% SpO2, with Digical-enabled sensor
  • Compatibility with the full portfolio of Nellcor™ OxiMax™ sensors

The Nellcor™ multi-functional respiratory PCBA solution delivers the flexibility to choose the respiratory function parameters and features you need now, and in the future. Current and future parameter options can be added at any time with easy and secure software upgrades.
