INVOS™ OxyAlert™ NIRSensors for infants and neonates are used with the INVOS™ cerebral/somatic oximeter to generate continuous, noninvasive readings of regional blood oxygen levels in up to four site-specific areas chosen by the care team.
INVOS™ OxyAlert™ NIRSensors are applied to the skin’s surface, and are user and patient friendly, making monitoring of ischemic threats to the brain and body safe and easy. By reporting venous weighted regional haemoglobin oxygen saturation (rSO2) in tissue directly beneath the sensor, this reflects oxygen remaining after tissue demand has been met.
