Spot-checking patients on the general care floor can lead to missed signs of respiratory compromise. Nellcor™ Respiration Rate software provides affordable noninvasive, continuous monitoring of respiratory status and may provide an early warning of impending respiratory distress.
Respiration Rate software, when used with SpO2 monitoring, Saturation Pattern Detection (SPD) and the SatSeconds alert feature, provides clinicians with a complete assessment of a patient’s oxygenation and respiration, including trending data in real time, with one integrated sensor. This real-time data displayed on the bedside monitor and delivered to remote monitoring systems, enables clinicians to intervene quickly, minimizing the risk of respiratory compromise.([FOOTNOTE=Taenzer AH, Pyke JB, McGrath SP, Blike GT.

Unlike other methods for calculating respiration rate, which can be unreliable and uncomfortable for the patient, monitoring with Nellcor™ Respiration Rate software is accurate, comfortable for patients, and easy to use.
The addition of respiration rate monitoring to the comprehensive Covidien respiratory function portfolio, reflects our commitment to provide solutions that help clinicians deliver better patient care and help enable faster recovery.
| Measurement Range | 4 to 40 breaths per minute |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | ± 1 breath per minute* |
| Display/Indicators | Real-time numbers Real-time trend data |
| Alarms | Audible and visual alarms for low and high respiration rate Low respiration rate alarm fixed at 8 breaths per minute High respiration rate alarm fixed at 28 breaths per minute |
Two prospective, observational, non-randomised clinical studies were conducted to demosntrate the accuracy and precision of Nellcor™ Respiration Rate Software (Version 2.0) using the Nellcor™ adult respiratory sensor.
The range of respiration rates observed in the studies was 4 to 32 breaths per minute. Accuracy was calculated using both root mean square difference (RMSD) and mean error. The results demonstrate that Nellcor Respiration Rate software calculates respiration rate with a mean error of less than one breath per minute when compared to respiration rate derived from the capnography-based reference.
