Pulse oximetry can help you guide interventions in Labour & Delivery — or frustrate your efforts to respond effectively. The difference depends on the technology and its ability to post timely and accurate information in real-world conditions. Nellcor™ pulse oximetry with Oximax™ technology meets the key challenges in the delivery room.

How to perform pulse oximetry screening for Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD).
NELLCOR™ PULSE OXIMETRY is the first to receive Health Canada clearance for a motion-tolerant bedside pulse oximeter portfolio.

Because it relies on cardiac-based signals to generate readings closely tied to the patient’s physiology.
Consistent performance during a number of challenging conditions, including patient motion, noise and low perfusion, all of which can impede the assessment of patient respiratory status
A published study revealed an artifact in Masimo pulse oximeters, that increased saturation values of 87-90% by an additional 2%.
In CCHD screening, an increase from 89% to 91% could mask some cases of CCHD,resulting in false negative screens with the Masimo pulse oximeters.4
