Oximetry Sensor Nonin 8000J

Multi-Use Oximetry Sensor Nonin Flex Sensor 8000J

The Nonin Flex multi-use sensors combine the comfort and performance of single-use sensors with the economy of multi-use sensors. The Flex sensors are made from durable silicone and are held in place by special single-use adhesive strips, FlexiWraps®.

The hybrid sensor system is ideal for continuous monitoring and sleep studies. It is available in sizes ranging from neonates to adults. The adult sensor 8000J is for patients ≥ 20 kg and comes with 25 FlexiWraps.

Accurate and reliable SpO2 measurements begin with PureLight® sensors. Nonin's PureLight oximetry sensors produce a high-intensity spectrum of pure light, which eliminates variability in measurements from patient to patient and from sensor to sensor.

• The red and infrared light sources (LEDs) are essential in pulse oximeter sensors.
• The red LED measures deoxygenated hemoglobin.
• The infrared LED measures oxygenated hemoglobin.

Common red LEDs typically produce a second spectral emission (contamination), which affects the measurement of oxygenated hemoglobin. The LED contamination affects the calibration curve of the oximeter, at the levels of oxygen saturation, resulting in inaccurate measurements at levels below 80%.
