The Nellcor SpO2 module incorporates Nellcor OxiMax pulse oximetry technology, according to the release. Use of the OxiMax pulse oximetry technology with Philips monitoring platforms can provide clinicians with cardiac-based readings of SpO2 and pulse rate.
“Continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation through pulse oximetry technology improves clinical decision-making affecting patient safety,” said Robert J. White, president, respiratory and monitoring solutions for Covidien, in the release. “The single parameter module enables compatibility of Nellcor OxiMax SpO2 monitoring with Philips’ market-leading IntelliVue monitors. This new product offering underscores the commitment of Covidien to patient care across all areas of the hospital, from the general care ward to critical care areas, such as the intensive care unit and neonatal care ward.”
The Nellcor SpO2 single parameter module is compatible with the Philips IntelliVue MP40 through MP90 monitors and the Philips IntelliVue MX 600, MX 700 and MX 800 monitors.
