The Assurance® Nasal Alar SpO2™ Sensor is indicated for single patient use for continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate from the nasal ala of adult and pediatric patients, (weighing > 30kg). The sensor can be used in a variety of healthcare environments where compatible pulse oximetry monitors are indicated for use, under professional supervision.The Assurance® Nasal Alar SpO2™ Sensor is for use with compatible pulse oximeters. These include: Nellcor OxiMax and Oxisensor II compatible monitors and Philips FAST compatible monitors.
A photoelectric device applied externally to a body site, e.g., a fingertip, ear lobe, the bridge of nose, a toe, or the bridge of the foot of a paediatric or adult patient for the transcutaneous measurement of haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2) in arterial blood using light detection. The signals, typically produced by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a receiving detector, are received by an oximeter to which this device is connected. The oximeter displays the SpO2 values and may calculate/display other parameters, e.g., electrocardiogram (ECG). The is a single-use device.
