What is it indicated for?
The LNCS/M-LNCS Sensors are indicated for the continuous noninvasive monitoring of functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO2) and pulse rate (measured by an SP02 sensor) for use with adult, pediatric, infant, and neonatal patients during both no motion and motion conditions, and for patients who are well or poorly perfused in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, mobile, and home environments.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
