[1] The clinical study was done on healthy adult male and female subjects with light to dark skin
pigmentation. The trending and absolute rSO

accuracies were determined by testing in the
range of 45% to 85% SavO2 against 30% arterial and 70% jugular venous blood oxygen
saturations, measured by a laboratory CO-Oximeter. The study confirms that the O3 System
measurements meet the requirements.
[2] Trending accuracy is the root mean square relative error. It is calculated by comparing a
series of samples to the gold standard and the accuracy refers to how the changes in a series of
samples “trend” with the gold standard. The gold standard used was the oxygen saturation
calculated from arterial and jugular venous blood gas analysis.
[3] Absolute accuracy is the root mean square error where error is the difference between
individual samples and a gold standard.
