The OxiMax SPD Alert feature detects repetitive patterns of desaturation in adults which are indicative of reductions in airflow through a patient’s upper airway into the patient’s lungs. With its easy-to-comprehend historical data and display, the system provides meaningful information about a patient’s status.
Apart from clinical benefits of the OxiMax N-600x pulse oximeter platform, system standardization is also cost-effective for the healthcare facility, decreasing the need for capital expenditures. Clinicians have access to innovative technology with the use of the latest OxiMax sensors.
