Covidien INVOS™ 5100C Cerebral/Somatic Oximeter

The INVOS™ system is the only cerebral/somatic oximetry system with improved outcome claims.([FOOTNOTE=Murkin JM, Adams SJ, Novick RJ, et al.

The INVOS™ system provides real-time monitoring of changes in regional oxygen saturation (rSO₂) of blood in the brain or other body tissues beneath the sensor for effective oxygen monitoring in adults, children, infants and neonates.

This unique system allows clinicians to measure site-specific oxygen levels rather than requiring them to infer the data from systemic, whole body measures such as blood pressure and pulse oximetry. Available in two or four data channels, clinicians can conveniently monitor multiple brain and body areas.
