Functional Testers and Patient Simulators
Some models of commercially available bench top
functional testers and patient simulators can be used to
verify the proper functionality of Nellcor pulse oximeter
sensors, cables, and monitors. See the individual testing
device’s operator’s manual for the procedures specific to
the model of tester being used.
While such devices may be useful for verifying that the
pulse oximeter sensor, cabling, and monitor are
performing as designed, they are incapable of providing
the data required to properly evaluate the accuracy of
SpO
2
measurements. Fully evaluating the accuracy of the
SpO
2
measurements requires, at minimum,
accommodating the wavelength characteristics of the
sensor and reproducing the complex optical interaction of
the sensor and the patient’s tissue. These capabilities are
beyond the scope of known bench top testers. SpO
2
measurement accuracy can only be evaluated in vivo by
comparing pulse oximeter readings with values traceable
to SaO
2
measurements obtained from simultaneously
sampled arterial blood made using a laboratory CO-
oximeter.
Many functional testers and patient simulators have been
designed to interface with the pulse oximeter’s expected
calibration curves and may be suitable for use with
Nellcor monitors and/or sensors. Not all such devices,
however, are adapted for use with the Nellcor
