Nonin Medical’s Xpod family provides a way to add pulse oximetry as an optional parameter to medical monitoring device manufacturers’ new or existing medical devices.

The Xpod saves space inside the monitor by attaching the oximeter externally, enabling medical device manufacturers to choose a sensor for patients application.

The Xpod, Model 3012LP interfaces with Nonin’s PureLight disposable and reusable sensors and offers multiple data formats to meet the varied needs of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers oximetry applications.

Nonin Medical vice president Kevin Gowan said their new low-power, externally wired pulse oximeter provides a new level of versatility to help their OEM customers develop even smaller, lighter, and more portable medical monitoring systems.

"The new Xpod, Model 3012LP also features a low noise voltage regulator designed to reduce noise coming from the power supply and gives readings even in challenging conditions," Gowan said.
