Maternal Pulse Oximetry Monitoring: Module and Probe Compatibility
Modules and Sensors
The Masimo, Ohmeda, and Nellcor parameters are used to measure the amount of
oxygenated hemoglobin and pulse rate non-invasively. The absorption of selected
wavelengths of light is measured with sensors. Although these parameters process
the MSpO
2
measurements differently, the function and appearance of MSpO
2
on
your monitor is the same.

2
sensor, for example by wrapping
the sensor too tightly. Inspect the sensor site as directed in the
sensor’s directions for use to ensure skin integrity and correct
positioning and adhesion of the sensor.
