Accuracy specifications are based on controlled hypoxia studies with healthy, non-smoking adult volunteers over the specified saturation SpO

range. Pulse oximeter

readings were compared to SaO

values of drawn blood samples measured by hemoximetry. All accuracies are expressed as ± “X” digits. This variation equals ±
one standard deviation (± 1 SD), which encompasses 68%of the population.Oxygen saturation accuracy can be affected by certain environmental and patient physiological
conditions, as discussed in the operator’s manual for the monitor. Use Nellcor sensors only with 250cx Series Monitors containing Nellcor oximetry. Consult individual
manufacturers for accuracy specifications and compatibility information of particular instruments and Nellcor sensor models. The volunteer population was composed of
healthy men and women recruited from the local population. The ages ranged from 18 to 50 years old, with variations of skin pigmentations.

Adult specifications are shown for OxiMax
®
MAX-A and MAX-N sensors with the N-600. Saturation accuracy will vary by sensor type.

Applicability: OxiMax
®
MAX-A, MAX-AL, MAX-P, MAX-I, and MAX-N sensors.

Information of wavelength range can be especially useful to clinicians performing photodynamic therapy.
NOTE:
Because pulse oximeter equipment measurements are statistically distributed, only about two-thirds of pulse oximeter equipment measurements can be
expected to fall within ±
A
rms
of the value measured by a CO-Oximeter.
NOTE:
Use of a functional SpO

simulator to assess the accuracy of the Corometrics 250cx SpO
2
parameter has not been demonstrated.
