Nellcor OxiMax Performance Specifications
1. M1901B/MAXN:
Clinical functionality has been demonstrated on a population of hospitalized neonate patients. The observed SpO
2
accuracy was 2.5% in a study of 42 patients with ages of 1 to 23 days, weight from 750 to 4100 grams, and 63
observations made spanning a range of 85 to 99% SaO
2
while monitored with Nellcor OxiMax N-595 pulse oximeters.
2. The accuracy specification has been determined between saturations of 80%–100%.
3. SoftCare SC-PR-I, SCNEO-I:
Clinical functionality has been demonstrated on a population of hospitalized neonate and infant patients. The observed
SpO
2
accuracy was 3.0% in a study of 57 patients with ages of 24 to 40 weeks, weight from 710 to 5,000 grams, and 185
observations made spanning a range of 63 to 100% SaO
2
while monitored with Nellcor OxiMax N-595 pulse oximeters.
4. Neonatal accuracy: When sensors are used on neonatal subjects as recommended, the specified accuracy range is
increased by ± 1 digit, as compared to adult usage, to account for the theoretical effect on oximeter measurements of
fetal hemoglobin in neonatal blood. For example, Oxicliq N accuracy on neonates is ± 3.5 digits, rather than ± 2.5.
5. Specification applies to the performance of the device. Reading accuracy in the presence of low perfusion (detected
IR pulse modulation amplitude 0.03% - 1.5%) was validated using signals supplied by a patient simulator. SpO
2
and
pulse rate values were varied across the monitoring range over a range of weak signal conditions and compared to the
known true saturation and pulse rate of the input signals.
