What is it indicated for?

The NONIN® Pulse Oximeter and Carbon Dioxide Detector (Model 9840-Series) is indicated for use in measuring and displaying functional oxygen saturation of arterial hemoglobin (SpO₂), pulse rate, and approximate carbon dioxide (CO₂) changes in the airway of intubated patients. These functions may be used separately or simultaneously.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
