The Nellcor™ OxySoft™ SpO2 sensor is the first pulse oximetry sensor to use a silicone adhesive to protect fragile skin and improve repositionability. It is engineered with brighter LEDs on a flexible circuit — all to help you stay connected to your patients and their data.

Nellcor™ OxySoft™ SpO2 sensor


Connect with every touch.

For your most critical neonatal and adult patients, every touch has an impact on their well-being. Continuous monitoring devices should minimize impact and maximize performance.


Here is how we start with the heart.

First, we
identify the pulse
with artificial intelligence (AI).

Next, we
eliminate noise
by scrubbing the signal.

Then, we 
calibrate the signal
with OxiMax™ technology.

Lastly, we
bring it together with
the Nellcor™ OxiMax™ system.



Which pulse oximetry technology performs better?
 

Nellcor™
pulse oximetry

What’s the fundamental tech difference?

Nellcor™ technology starts with the heart, using the pulse as the foundation. By prioritizing the pulsatile signal and locking onto the pulse, it allows tracking of moment-to-moment changes.


vs.


Masimo SET™*
pulse oximetry

What’s the fundamental tech difference?

Masimo SET™* technology prioritizes the product LED signal. By assuming that both the arterial and venous blood move, it uses an algorithm to separate the arterial signal from noise.1

What does this mean for your patients? 

Low perfusion

Low perfusion can limit peripheral readings and may make patients difficult to assess.2



Nellcor™ technology missed

74%

fewer hypoxemic events in subjects with dark skin and perfusion.‡,3

Accuracy

Inaccurate pulse rate readings may guide clinicians to inappropriate or unnecessary interventions.4



Nellcor™ pulse oximetry showed no clinically significant difference from ECG reference.§,5

Skin integrity

Although monitoring may be unavoidable, attaching a sensor may pose a risk to the fragile skin of neonates and the elderly. 



Nellcor™ OxySoft™ sensors are the first with a gentle, silicone adhesive that removes

75%

less skin cells than Masimo LNCS Neo™* sensors — so you can remove without pulling fragile skin.6

Speed to post

Seconds count in patient care decisions. Don’t lose them waiting for an accurate vital signs reading.7



Nellcor™ pulse oximetry has been shown to post on average

12

seconds faster than Masimo SET™* technology.§,5



Workflow and alarms

Sensor performance and alarm management issues can distract you from patient care.



Nellcor™ OxySoft™ sensors maintain

85%

adhesiveness after 18 repositions compared to Masimo LNCS Neo™* sensors which lose 50% of adhesiveness after only two repositions.◊,6,8,9

Motion

Motion can cause irregular venous blood flow that can affect accurate monitoring.4



Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensors are

60%

more accurate than Masimo SET™* sensors at detecting pulse rates in adults during motion.6,10
