Nonin Medical Inc’s Onyx Vantage 9590 finger pulse oximeter has PureSAT technology and is able to measure Spo2 and pulse rate via fingers, thumbs, and toes. The Onyx Vantage 9590 provides versatility where fingers are not available for readings or there is difficulty gaining readings on a finger such as with pediatric patients, and even works on patients with darker skin tones and where low perfusion is a challenge. The device has been tested for use in motion.
Providing a simple, noninvasive way to measure carbon monoxide poisoning, Breathe E-Z Systems Inc’s CO Sleuth is a carbon monoxide breath test, designed for patients enrolled in a smoking-cessation program. This instrument has a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 98%, and is equipped with a hydrogen null to prevent false readings. The CO Sleuth provides visual proof of the dangerous CO levels found in the lungs of smokers, who often do not realize carbon monoxide poisoning is a dangerous side effect of smoking cigarettes. The testing shows the patient a reduction of carbon monoxide poisoning in the lungs as the patient gives up smoking. 800-490-5061; www.testbreath.com
As an alternative to traditional fingertip pulse oximetry, Xhale Assurance Inc offers the Alar One-Sense Sensor. The Alar One-Sense fits comfortably on the nasal ala, the fleshy part of the side of the nose, a unique pulse oximetry monitoring site with a rich vasculature and multidirectional blood flow fed by both the external and internal carotid arteries. The Alar Sensor offers earlier detection: faster reflection of oxygen-saturation changes; and dependable monitoring: better perfusion, consistent signal, and less prone to drop out. 855-743-4589; www.assurance.xhale.com
