Pulse oximetry has become a standard of care in the operating and recovery rooms,
intensive care units and emergency services, yet it has been known to provide erroneous oxygen saturation readings in states of low perfusion, low cardiac output and/or low blood flow. The NBM-200MP system offers non-invasive, continuous and accurate measurement of oxygen saturation in states of hypovolemia, hypothermia and vasoconstriction or during open heart surgery, as well as during regular perfusion. In addition to oxygen saturation, the system can provide plethysmographic data as well as pulse rate measurements and Hemoglobin (Hb) values. The NBM-200MP’s superior performance was validated by multi-center trials in the United States and Europe. The studies comprised of desaturation (induced hypoxia) trials and long-term ICU patient monitoring. The non-invasive results were compared to an arterial "Gold standard" reference.
