The Nellcor MAX-A SpO2 sensor is a disposable, single-patient-use adult pulse oximetry sensor built to the Nellcor MAX-A / MAXAL reference specifications.
It uses Nellcor OxiMax technology through a 9-pin connector on a 0.9m cable, with a soft non-woven adhesive strip that wraps around the patient’s finger for continuous SpO2 and pulse rate monitoring. Each box contains 24 sensors.

- Connect the 9-pin plug to the monitor or OxiMax interface cable and check the signal.
- Inspect the site regularly and relocate per your facility protocol.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Nellcor MAX-A SpO2 sensor?
It is a disposable adult finger SpO2 sensor with a non-woven adhesive wrap, built to the Nellcor MAX-A reference, that measures oxygen saturation and pulse rate on Nellcor OxiMax monitors.
Is MAX-A the same as MAXAL?
MAXAL and MAX-AL are the long-cable reference numbers in the same adult adhesive family. This sensor is listed against MAX-A, MAXAL and MAX-AL and ships with a 0.9m cable.
How many sensors are in a box?
Each box contains 24 single-patient-use sensors.
Is this sensor reusable?
No. It is single-patient-use. It can stay on one patient for the duration of monitoring and should then be discarded.
What connector does it have?
A 9-pin connector using Nellcor OxiMax technology. It is not intended for Masimo or Nellcor Oxismart (non-OxiMax) inputs.
What patient size is it for?
Adult patients, typically over 30 kg. For infants or neonates, see the MAX-I and MAX-N sensors linked below.
