Patient Alarm Management Solutions and Clinical Studies

Nellcor™ SatSeconds

SatSeconds analyzes desaturation events by multiplying their duration, in seconds, by the number of percentage points the patient drops below the SpO₂ alarm limit. As a safety precaution, when three or more SpO₂ alarm violations occur within 60 seconds, an alarm will sound even if the SatSeconds limit has not been reached.

LoSat Expanded Accuracy

Nellcor™ adhesive sensors with OxiMax™ technology and LoSat Expanded Accuracy range give clinicians the ability to assess patients with critically low saturation readings (60%-80%), such as infants with congenital heart disease. Accurate readings at low saturation levels expand options for clinicians to effectively monitor pulse oximetry.([FOOTNOTE=Bebout DE, Mannheimer PD, Wun C-C.
