onyx ii finger pulse oximeter model 9550

Nonin Medical

Summary: The Onyx II Finger Pulse Oximeter is a portable device used to measure peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. It is commonly used by healthcare professionals in various settings, including hospitals and emergency services.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date June 1, 2005
Product Code DQA
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 40 studies

The Onyx II Finger Pulse Oximeter by Nonin Medical was cleared through the FDA 510(k) pathway on June 1, 2005. It is classified as a Class 2 medical device under product code DQA.

What It Is

The Onyx II Finger Pulse Oximeter is a compact, non-invasive device designed to measure the oxygen saturation level in the blood and pulse rate. It works by using light-emitting diodes and a photodetector to calculate the ratio of oxygenated to deoxygenated hemoglobin. This device is particularly useful in monitoring patients with respiratory or cardiac conditions.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in clinical settings such as hospitals, clinics, and emergency medical services to monitor patients' oxygen levels. It is particularly valuable in specialties like pulmonology, cardiology, and anesthesiology. It is also used in outpatient settings for patients with chronic respiratory conditions or those undergoing home oxygen therapy.

Indications for Use

The device is indicated for use in measuring blood oxygen levels and pulse rate in patients. It is suitable for individuals with conditions affecting oxygenation, such as COPD, asthma, or during surgical procedures requiring anesthesia.

Practical Considerations

The Onyx II is designed to fit a wide range of finger sizes and is compatible with both adult and pediatric patients. It is important to ensure proper placement on the finger for accurate readings and to be aware of potential interference from ambient light or patient movement.

Related Literature

The linked study compared the accuracy of handheld and finger-based pulse oximeters under various motion and environmental conditions. It found that different devices have varying levels of accuracy, influenced by their sensors and algorithms. The study highlights the importance of choosing the right device for specific conditions, though it is limited by its focus on a specific population and setting.
