infrared light. The monitor uses the difference between the two measurements to
calculate the percentage of saturated hemoglobin. Because light absorption varies with
blood volume and blood volume varies with pulse rate, the monitor can also derive a

The SpO sensor, available for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients is connected to
