SpO2 Validation of Noninvasive Red Diamond Disposable Pulse Oximeter Sensor

SpO2 Validation of Noninvasive Red Diamond Disposable Pulse Oximeter Sensor

In this study, the level of oxygen within the blood will be reduced in a controlled manner by reducing the concentration of oxygen the study volunteer breathes. The accuracy of a noninvasive pulse oximeter sensor will be assessed by comparison to the oxygen saturation measurements from a laboratory blood gas analyzer.
