What is Masimo Pulse Ox Tester?

Pulse Ox TesterWhat is Masimo Pulse Ox Tester?

Masimo Pulse Ox Tester is a device that will take care of all your simulations. It is a tester that now provides complete flexibility in selecting saturation, pulse rate and perfusion index. As a user, you can create a customized Preset Simulations for faster testing of Oximeter performance and for alarm testing without having to change the monitor's alarm settings. It weighs only 5 oz. and runs for 10 hours on a single AA battery. The Oximeter tester measures:
  • The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in arterial blood.
  • The pulse rate in beats per minute.
Why Is a Pulse Oximeter Used?
Pulse Oximeter is a device that provides indication of changing levels of oxygen levels. It continuously monitors oxygen level and allows for clinical intervention before significant hypoxia, or low levels of blood oxygen occur. This is very important in situations where general anesthesia is being administered since an anesthetic can deprive the body of the oxygen it needs. That is why many states require the use of a Pulse Oximeter while administering anesthesia. In addition, they are often used to monitor patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.

This innovative product provides complete control of all simulations for saturation, heart rate and perfusion index in one digit increments.

toolsWith a single button press to access user-defined presets, the unit quickly tests oximeter performance and alarm functionality. The OxSim Flex can automatically detect the pulse oximeter manufacturer — just place the finger sensor on the unit and go. The OxSim Flex is also compatible with Masimo rainbow SET® technology, runs on a single AA battery for 10 hours and sports a color OLED display.

This takes the smallest SpO2 simulator on the market and now makes it the most flexible. We believe this will position the OxSim Flex as the market leader for SpO2 testing well into the future” says Greg Alkire, VP of Sales and Marketing, Pronk Technologies.
