Nonin Medical has received FDA clearance for the Model 7600 regional oximetry system. Similar to other cerebral oximeters, all of which are designed for operating room use on patients undergoing cardiac, vascular and neurosurgical procedures, as well as on patients in critical care units, the 7600 model provides continuous monitoring of cerebral oxygenation, so clinicians can take steps to prevent brain ischemia in susceptible patients.
More details about the device:
Utilizing next-generation near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) — Nonin’s proprietary EQUANOX™ regional oximetry (rSO2) technology — the Model 7600 measures oxygen saturation in the cerebral cortex. The innovative sensor design effectively removes surface tissue effects that can influence measurement accuracy — isolating measurements of the cerebral cortex and providing rSO2 values. The Model 7600 offers industry-leading signal processing to enhance efficiency and an intuitive user interface with Bluetooth® wireless connectivity to streamline file access and storage.
Features from the product page:
Proven Accuracy: ARMS of 2.7 along trend lines relative to jugular bulb measurements (SjvO2). Enhanced (rSO2) accuracy designed to eliminate the impact of surface effects (i.e. skin, bone, meninges, etc.) Exceptional Repeatability: ± 2 digits Unmatched Convenience and Efficiency: Quick and easy to set up along with improved operational efficiency by eliminating the need to capture a new baseline when sensors are changed or repositioned Fast Readings: Near-instantaneous baseline measurement Superior Sensor Architecture: Dual light emitters enable consistently accurate measurements — even if one emitter is obscured Easy to Use: Intuitive, large-screen display is simple to read and requires minimal training Highly Versatile: Can be used in numerous clinical environments Rugged Durability: A compact, rugged design specifically built to resist the potential hazards in clinical environments
