Description

Key Features

  • Masimo SET® Technology Compatibility: This sensor is engineered to leverage Masimo's proprietary Signal Extraction Technology (SET®). This technology is well-regarded for its ability to provide accurate readings of oxygen saturation and pulse rate even during patient movement and in conditions of low perfusion (reduced blood flow to the extremities).

  • Disposable Design: The S543-490 is a single-patient-use sensor, which helps minimize the risk of cross-contamination between patients. It is typically supplied in boxes of 20.

  • Patient Versatility: While labeled for "Neonate," this specific model (S543-490) is versatile and can be used on neonates (less than 3 kg) or adults (greater than 40 kg). This "Neonate or Adult" designation makes it adaptable for different patient sizes.

  • LNCS (Low Noise Cabled Sensors) Type: It's part of the LNCS series, meaning it features a design where the connector is positioned away from the sensor application site, enhancing patient comfort. LNCS sensors are cabled with a DB9 connector.

  • Application Site: These sensors are typically wrap-around style and designed for application on a finger, toe, thumb, hand, or foot, offering secure positioning of the optical components.

  • Latex-Free: The product is not made with natural rubber latex, reducing the risk of allergic reactions for sensitive patients.

  • Compatibility: While it's a "Masimo Compatible" sensor, it can often be used with a variety of Masimo SET® pulse oximeters and can also be made compatible with other monitor brands (e.g., Philips, GE Healthcare, Zoll, Medtronic Physio-Control, Mindray) through specific adapter cables.

  • Optimal Performance: Masimo SET® is known for its effectiveness in reducing false alarms and improving the detection of true alarms, which provides greater confidence in the measurements.

Uses

The Masimo S543-490 SpO2 sensor is primarily used in healthcare settings for continuous and spot-check monitoring of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. Its applications cover a wide range of clinical environments and patient populations, especially given its ability to perform accurately in challenging conditions:

  • General Patient Monitoring: Routine monitoring of oxygen levels in various hospital departments, clinics, and outpatient settings.

  • Critical Care: Essential for monitoring critically ill patients in ICUs, CCUs, and emergency rooms where accurate readings during motion or low perfusion are crucial.

  • Neonatal and Pediatric Care: Specifically designed for neonates and infants, it is vital for monitoring the oxygenation status of premature babies and young children, where precise and rapid readings can significantly impact outcomes.

  • Surgery and Anesthesia: Used before, during, and after surgery to monitor patients' oxygenation during procedures and recovery.

  • Emergency Medical Services (EMS): Used by paramedics and first responders for quick assessment of oxygen levels in emergency situations.

  • Home Care: Can be used for continuous monitoring in home healthcare settings, particularly for patients with chronic respiratory conditions.

  • Sleep Studies: May be employed during sleep studies to detect episodes of desaturation.

  • Any situation requiring non-invasive, continuous oxygen saturation measurement.
