There are no adjustable parts within the oximeter that affect the calibration. Nonin oximeters are calibrated to closely approximate functional oxygen saturation, COHb fraction, and MetHb fraction values.
Technical Information Principles of Operation Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method that passes red and infrared light through perfused tissue and detects the fluctuating signals caused by arterial pulses. Well-oxygenated blood is bright red, while poorly oxygenated blood is dark red. The pulse oximeter determines functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO ) from this color difference by measuring the ratio of absorbed red and infrared light as the volume fluctuates with each pulse.
Technical Information Low Perfusion Accuracy Testing This test uses an SpO Simulator to provide a simulated pulse rate, with adjustable amplitude settings at various SpO levels for the oximeter to read. The oximeter must maintain accuracy in accordance with ISO 80601-2-61 for pulse rate and SpO at the lowest obtainable pulse amplitude (0.3% modulation).
Technical Information Specifications CAUTION: The device has been designed for use within the specified ranges. Use outside of these ranges has not been tested and may result in improper oximeter performance. %COHb Display Range: 0 to 99% %MetHb Display Range: 0 to 99% %SpO Display Ranges: 0 to 100% %rSO...
