Description
Respironics, Inc. has integrated the finger clip sensor and the
electronics of the Respironics Model 920 hand held Pulse Oximeter
into one unit, the Model 950. The 950 is very small (1.3 inch W x 1.3
inch H x 2.2 inch L) and lightweight (2 ounces).
The 950 displays numerical values for functional arterial hemoglobin
oxygen saturation (%SpO 2 ) in percentage and pulse rate (
beats per minute on light emitting diode (LED) digital displays.
With each detected pulse, the Perfusion
perfusion signals are graded as good, marginal or inadequate and are
indicated as such by the perfusion indicator changing color from green
to yellow or red respectively. This sophisticated, yet simple technique
provides a pulse-by-pulse visual indication of waveform signal
quality, without requiring the user to perform complex signal analysis
during critical patient care situations.
Two AAA battery cells power the 950 and operate it for
approximately 1,600 spot checks
between battery replacement. When the batteries are low, the digital
displays will blink once per second. (Refer to page 9 for battery
specifications and page 10 for battery replacement instructions.)
