The US-based Nonin Medical, Inc. has introduced a wireless fingertip oximeter with Bluetooth wireless technology for the first time.
The fingertip oximeter assists patients who suffer from diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and congestive heart failure (CHF) by allowing vital signs to be easily monitored and sent wirelessly through communication devices (cell phones, PDAs, PCs, etc.). Patients can also take readings outside of the home and transmit the time-stamped data after their return using the device’s Store and Forward facility.
The Onyx II 9560 has a new power saving feature that automatically adjusts transmitted power based on distance from the main unit. It can save up to a minimum of 20 single point measurements. The pulse oximeter incorporates the electronics and the sensor into one unit weighing just two ounces, delivers an accurate pulse rate and blood oximetry in just seconds. It interacts with other devices through the Bluetooth Medical Device Profile (MDP) protocol. It facilitates patients and clinicians to manage monitored information easily and cost-effectively.
Oximeter’s SmartPoint technology removes the speculation of determining which oximetry values to be used for analysis. It provides a fast and accurate picture of the patient's SpO2 and pulse rate. The Onyx II 9560 sends the SmartPoint spot-check measurement typically 30 seconds from turn-on.
