Pre-Hospital Patients

The Nellcor™ N-85 hand-held monitor is designed for patient care, anywhere. Engineered with both Microstream™ capnography and Nellcor™ pulse oximetry with OxiMax™ technology, the monitor is convenient for spot checks and continuous monitoring in a variety of settings, including EMS/ED, transport, critical care, operating room, sleep lab and during procedural sedation.

• Advanced digital signal processing technology offers exceptional pulse oximetry performance even during low perfusion and signal interference.¹
• Provides graphical trends and plethysmographic waveform
• Accuracy Rate: 0 to 38 mm Hga ±2 mm Hg / 39 to 99 mm Hg ±5% of reading.

Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensors are available in a wide array of options: reusable, adhesive and non-adhesive. Non-adhesive sensors can be used for neonates and patients with sensitive skin. When a patient is in respiratory distress and SpO₂ is lower than 80%, accurate, real-time information is crucial. Used with Nellcor™ pulse oximeters, the Nellcor™ forehead SpO₂ sensor may detect hypoxemic events faster than other sensors.²

Nellcor™ non-adhesive sensors detect hypoxemic events 90 seconds faster([FOOTNOTE=Bebout DE, Mannheimer PD, Wun C-C.
