Nellcor™ Respiration Rate Software

Two prospective, observational, non-randomized clinical studies were conducted to demonstrate 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.
