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.
