OxiMax Pulse Oximetry
Our latest pulse oximetry platform, the OxiMax Pulse Oximetry System, includes a broad selection of monitors and sensors. The OxiMax platform provides exceptional monitoring performance and enables Nellcor to offer unique sensors that address specific clinical challenges. As a result, a broader range of patients can be successfully monitored, without significant time lost due to unreliable readings.

In addition, the OxiMax platform has enabled Nellcor to expand the accuracy specifications of certain OxiMax sensors to an industry-leading range of 60% to 100% SpO2 (versus the standard 70% to 100%). This LoSat expanded accuracy feature helps clinicians better manage patients in the challenging lower saturation ranges, such as infants with congenital heart disease.

Other Monitoring Products

Alarm Management System
Covidien’s new Alarm Management System (AMS) for the Nellcor™ OxiMax™ N-600x™ pulse oximeter identifies and alerts staff to ongoing developments, such as periods of desaturation and potentially worrisome patterns. AMS includes the OxiMax SPD™ alert, which detects desaturation patterns indicative of repetitive reductions in airflow in adults, even if the patient hasn’t crossed the SpO2 threshold. AMS also includes SatSeconds alarm management, which provides a safe and practical way to reduce less clinically significant alarms. With AMS, you can be sure to get a more complete picture of your patient’s oxygenation.

Remote Oximetry Alarm Systems: The Oxinet III central station and paging system supports continuous pulse oximetry monitoring on the general care floor.
