Hi Tim,
The SAO2 probe fixed itself. I think it must have just slipped out of position. While I have your attention I have another question regarding SAO2 monitoring. I understand Respironics uses Nellcor Technology. I have recommended to our Sleep Study Lab that they use the Nellcor OxisensorII, N-25. I have tested the N-25 with Biomeds Bio-tek Index 2 SpO2 Simulator, and it tests fine. Our Sleep Study Lab will not use the Nellcor probe because someone at Respironics has told them that it is not compatible. So, what's going on? Can we use the Nellcor N-25 or not?
