*Measurement accuracy verification: The SpO
2
 accuracy has been verified in human experiments by comparing with arterial 
blood sample reference measured with a CO-oximeter. Pulse oximeter measurement are statistically distributed and about 
two-thirds of the measurements are expected to come within the specified accuracy range compared to CO-oximeter 
measurements.

sensor is applied for neonatal patients as indicated, the specified accuracy range is increased by ±1%, to 
compensate for the theoretical effect on oximeter measurements of fetal hemoglobin in neonatal blood.
