Saturation accuracy varies by sensor type. Refer to the Sensor Accuracy Grid at www.covidi-
en.com/rms.

Accuracy specifications were validated using measurements of healthy non-smoking adult vol-
unteers during controlled hypoxia studies spanning the specified saturation ranges. Subjects
were recruited from the local population and comprised both men and women ranging in age
from 18-50 years old, and spanned a range of skin pigmentations. Pulse oximeter SpO2 readings
were compared to SaO2 values of drawn blood samples measured by hemoximetry. All accura-
cies are expressed as ±1 SD. Because pulse oximeter equipment measurements are statistically
distributed, about two-thirds of the measurements can be expected to fall in this accuracy
(ARMS) range (refer to the Sensor Accuracy Grid for more details).

Adult specifications are shown for OxiMax™ MAXA and MAXN sensors with the monitoring
system.
