The Nonin® Model 95910nyx® 3 Finger Pulse Oximeter is a small, lightweight, portable and reusable spot-check device indicated for use in measuring and displaying functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (%Sp0O2) and pulse rate of patients who are well or poorly perfused. The Respiration Rate parameter provides a non-invasive measurement of respiration rate, in breaths per minute.
For %Sp02, and pulse rate, the 9591 is intended for use in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and home healthcare services. It is intended for adult and pediatric patients who are well or poorly perfused, with digits that are between 0.3 — 1.0 inch (0.8 — 2.5 cm) thick, under non-motion conditions.
For Respiration rate, the 9591 is intended for use in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and home healthcare services. It is intended for adult who are well perfused, with digits that are between 0.3 — 1.0 inch (0.8 — 2.5 cm) thick, under non-motion conditions. It is not intended for use in high-acuity environments, such as ICU or operating rooms where continuous monitoring is expected.
Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
