Saturation (%SpO2):
0 to 60% not specified
60 to 80% sensor-specific as follows:
Nellcor :
OxiMAX MAX-N ±3
Nellcor :
SC-PR, SC-NEO, OxiCliq N, D-YS, OXI-A/N not specified
70 to 100% sensor-specific as follows:
Nellcor:
Nellcor :
OxiMAX MAX-N, SC-PR, SC-NEO ±2
Nellcor :
OxiCliq N ±3.5
Nellcor :
D-YS, OXI-A/N ±4
Pulse Rate(3): ±3 beats/min or ±3% (whichever is greater)
NOTES:
1) Since pulse oximeter measurements are statistically distributed, only about two-thirds of those
measurements can be expected to fall within ±1 A
rms
of the value measured by a co-oximeter.
2) The Infinity® Nellcor Oximax® SpO2 SmartPod™ pulse oximeter with Adult sensors has been
validated in human blood studies on healthy adult volunteers in induced hypoxia studies in the
range of 70-100% SpO2 against a laboratory co-oximeter and ECG monitor. This variation
equals ±1 A
rms
of the value measured by a co-oximeter.
3) The pulse rate accuracy has been validated on healthy adult volunteers during induced hypoxia
studies in the range of 70-100% SpO2 against a laboratory co-oximeter and ECG monitor. This
variation equals ±1 A
rms
of the pulse rate value measured by the ECG monitor.
