Masimo study finds less than 1% bias and no skin tone discrepancies in neonatal pulse oximetry accuracy. NeoPODS data shows reliable SpO2 readings with minimal hypoxemia cases across diverse newborn ...

Pulse oximetry can be performed with disposable or reusable sensors, and hospitals and birthing centers must select the type of sensor that best meets the needs of their facility. 1 The SACHDNC ...

Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect low blood oxygen levels (hypoxaemia) give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, finds the ...

The OpenOximetry Dataset stores clinical and lab pulse oximetry data. It supports measurements of arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) by arterial blood gas co-oximetry and pulse oximetry (SpO2), ...

As concern grows over racial bias in common medical tools like pulse oximeters, a new study shows that smartphones may offer a simple, accessible way to help correct the problem. Researchers at Brown ...

SpO2 readings were, on average, 0.6-1.5 percentage points higher for patients with darker than lighter skin tone. At both SpO2 thresholds assessed, false negative rates (low oxygen missed by the pulse ...

A Grade 11 student won Canada's top teen innovation award in science by correcting a 35-year-old flaw in pulse oximeters that ...

This regulatory milestone follows news from earlier this year, when the company announced positive verification study results ...

The patient was in his 60s, an African American man with emphysema. The oximeter placed on his fingertip registered well above the 88% blood oxygen saturation level that signals an urgent risk of ...
