The Disposable 9P SpO2 Sensor for Nihon Kohden is an essential medical device in patient monitoring. The "9P" indicates its 9 - pin configuration, which enables seamless and stable connection with Nihon Kohden's range of monitoring equipment. This ensures reliable data transfer for accurate readings. Designed to measure peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2), it plays a crucial role in assessing a patient's respiratory function. By emitting light at specific wavelengths and measuring the amount of light absorbed by the blood in the capillaries, it can determine the percentage of oxygen - saturated hemoglobin in the blood. Its disposable nature is a significant advantage. In a hospital environment, where preventing cross - contamination is of utmost importance, using a single - use sensor eliminates the risk of spreading infections between patients. This not only enhances patient safety but also reduces the need for time - consuming and resource - intensive sterilization procedures. Easy to apply, it attaches comfortably to a patient's finger. Once in place, it provides real - time SpO2 data, allowing medical staff to monitor patients continuously. Whether in an intensive care unit, operating room, or general ward, this sensor helps healthcare providers quickly detect any changes in a patient's oxygenation levels and respond promptly to ensure optimal patient care.
