Product catalog summary
Performance Comparison of Pulse Oximeters
Overview: This document presents a performance comparison of three finger pulse oximeters and one tabletop pulse oximeter, focusing on their ability to track SpO2 values over time during induced hypoxia.
Test Procedure: A subject was attached to the oximeters and used a commercially available rebreather to induce hypoxia. The rebreather removes CO2 from exhaled air and reduces the oxygen content of inhaled air.
Results: The test results show that only the Nonin pulse oximeter with PureSAT® technology and the Nellcor™ pulse oximeter accurately tracked the subject's desaturation down to 81-82% SpO2 and back up to 96% SpO2. Oximeter A and Oximeter B did not perform as accurately in tracking these changes.
Data Summary: The SpO2 values over time for each device are as follows:
  • Nonin: 97, 98, 97, 95, 92, 89, 85, 84, 81, 92, 96, 96
  • Nellcor: 98, 98, 98, 98, 93, 91, 86, 85, 82, 84, 93, 96
  • Oximeter A: 98, 98, 97, 97, 98, 96, 96, 95, 95, 95, 98, 98
  • Oximeter B: 97, 97, 98, 96, 96, 97, 96, 95, 95, 97, 99, 99
Conclusion: The Nonin Onyx® and Nellcor™ pulse oximeters demonstrated superior performance in accurately tracking SpO2 levels during hypoxia compared to Oximeter A and Oximeter B.

See the Difference - Performance Comparison Three finger pulse oximeters and one tabletop pulse oximeter were attached to a subject who was breathing for the first minute using a commercially available rebreather* to induce hypoxia. The chart below illustrates that over the course of the test, only the Nonin pulse oximeter, with PureSAT® technology, and Nellcor™ pulse oximeter accurately tracked the subject's desaturation down to 81-82% SpO2 and back up to 96% SpO2. Nonin Nellcor Oximeter A Oximeter B SpO2 Values Over Time Only Nonin and Nellcor™ pulse oximeters accurately tracked the subject's desaturation. Noni n Nellcor Oximeter A Oximeter B *In this test, to induce hypoxia, the subject utilized a commercially available rebreather. The simulator removes CO2 from exhaled air and lowers the oxygen content of air inhaled by the user. Prior to using these devices, please review the Instructions for Use.
