The Nellcor™ Bedside Respiratory Patient Monitoring System provides contin-
uous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemo-
globin SpO
2
and pulse rate.
4.3
Indications for Use
The Nellcor™ Bedside Respiratory Patient Monitoring System is a portable
pulse oximeter intended for prescription use only as a continuous non-invasive
monitor of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO
2
) and pulse rate of adult, pediatric,
and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for
patients who are well or poorly perfused. The monitoring system is intended
for use in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, and during intra-hospital transport.
The OxiMax SPD™ Alert (SPD) feature is intended only for facility-use care of
adults to detect patterns of desaturation indicative of repetitive reductions in
airflow through the upper airway and into the lungs.

Intra-hospital transport includes transport of a patient within the hospital or hos-
pital-type facility.
