ENHANCING PATIENT CARE
For 39 years, Nonin Medical has designed and manufactured noninvasive patient monitoring devices for healthcare professionals and individual users. Nonin pulse oximeters, regional oximeters, capnographs, sensors, and software deliver dependable performance day after day, even in challenging environments. Our exclusive technologies are clinically proven to deliver consistent measurements for a broad range of patients and conditions.
You work hard.
Your equipment should, too.
Your top priority is your patient—not troubleshooting medical devices. Our patient monitoring solutions are easy to use and provide consistent measurements time after time. Nonin pulse and regional oximeters, capnographs, and sensors deliver accurate data to help you focus on care.
A NON-INVASIVE REVOLUTION
As the original maker of finger pulse oximeters, Nonin (short for “noninvasive”) has played an important role in advancing the field of physiological monitoring. Nonin's accomplishments have included:
- Creating reliable technologies that deliver consistently accurate measurements
- Making smaller, more portable, more durable, more power-efficient devices
- Enabling easy data capture, management, reporting, and transfer
- Simplifying device interoperability and integration
PULSE OXIMETRY
Often called the fifth vital sign. After pulse rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, and blood pressure, more medical professionals than ever check blood oxygen saturation. Indirect measurement through oximetry (SpO2) is a fast, easy, and noninvasive way of measuring blood oxygen saturation without the need for invasive and expensive arterial blood gas sampling. Nonin provides the pulse oximetry tools necessary for accurate and reliable SpO2 readings.
Testing the Limits of Pulse Oximetry
Every medical care scenario has challenges and complications. Factors such as motion or low perfusion can affect pulse oximetry readings. At low saturations, it has been shown that readings on individuals with darkly pigmented skin can be off by up to eight percentage points.
Many unregulated pulse oximeters deliver unreliable readings for people with dark skin or low perfusion. Since 1986, Nonin has been committed to developing accurate, trusted fingertip oximeters for a diverse range of skin tones.
NONIN EXCLUSIVES
Quality Sensors
All pulse oximeters use red and infrared light to measure SpO2 levels. Nonin PureLight sensor technology uses high-quality LEDs and a calibrated receptor to eliminate interference from secondary frequencies. Nonin offer a range including re-usable, disposable and hybrid options.
Low Perfusion Filter
The removal of noise artifacts is crucial for an oximeter to accurately assess SpO2 in low perfusion. PureSAT signal processing technology uses powerful filtering to remove noise from weak or low perfusion signals, providing reliable and accurate readings.
True Pulse Detection
PureSAT signal processing locates the true pulse in motion and low perfusion. This eliminates false readings due to patient motion, reducing the time required to obtain a reliable measurement.
Smart Averaging
Intelligent, automatic averaging helps users save time in fast-paced care environments. PureSAT technology uses a smart algorithm that automatically adjusts for three second averaging or faster.
PureLight® LEDs
PureLight LEDs produce a high-intensity pure light spectrum.
PureLight® Sensors
PureLight sensor receptor eliminates variations in readings.
PureSAT® Signal Processing
PureSAT signal processing filters out artifacts and interference to show the true pulse.
HOW IT WORKS
PureLight® Sensor Technology
Pulse oximetry sensors use red and infrared LEDs to measure deoxygenated and oxygenated hemoglobin. LED contamination can affect the oximeter calibration, resulting in inaccurate SpO2 readings below 80%. Nonin sensors use PureLight LEDs, which produce a high-intensity pure light spectrum that consistently eliminates variations in readings from patient to patient and sensor to sensor.
PureSAT® Pulse Oximetry Technology
PureSAT technology uses intelligent pulse-by-pulse filtering to provide precise oximetry measurements for patients of all skin pigmentations and even for patients with low perfusion. PureSAT signal processing uses advanced algorithms to separate pulse signals from artifacts and interference, leaving only the true pulse. Using smart averaging technology, PureSAT automatically adjusts to each patient’s condition to provide fast and reliable readings.
