Product Specifications Pulse Oximetry (SpO2) Performance
• Studies were performed to validate the accuracy of Pulse Oximeter with the SpO
2
 sensors by 
contrast with a CO-Oximeter.The clinical study enrolled 14 subjects, including four (4) male and 
ten (10) female subjects. Among them, one is black male, one is black female, and the rest are 
Asian race. All of test subjects are healthy adults. The average age of the 14 subjects is 26±3.14 
years old. The average height of the male subjects is 67.81±0.44 inch. The average weight of the 
male subjects is 149.54±13.58 pound. The average height of the female subjects is 63.27±0.54 
inch. The average weight of the female subjects is 121.45±5.38 kg. The following table lists the 
details.

 Performance Requirements
• Update Rate: Every 2 seconds
NOTE: The sensor wavelengths are nominal.
NOTE: The information about the wavelength range and maximum photic 
output consumption can be especially useful to clinicians (for example, 
when photodynamic therapy is performed).
• 660 nm for the red LED and 890 nm for the infrared LED.
• Maximum optical power output for the LEDs is 4 mW.

 Response Time
The response time is less than or equal to 30 s (PI > 0.3, no disturbance, SpO

 value sudden change 
within 70% - 100%)

 Heart Rate
For Adult, Pediatric, and Neonatal:
•SpO

 heart rate resolution is 1BPM.
•Invalid SpO

 heart rate data displayed as (- -)
6. Nellcor Sat Seconds
• Indicates the current status of the alarm graphically within the pie-chart icon.
• Fills in a clockwise direction when the monitor detects the SpO
2
 value is outside the set alarm 
limits.
• Empties in a counter-clockwise direction when the SpO
2
 reading falls within the set alarm limits.
