GE Healthcare Adult Ear Clip SpO2 Sensor 3.0m (Nellcor OxiMax Technology, 11-Pin, New)

The GE Healthcare Adult Ear Clip SpO2 Sensor is a reusable pulse oximetry probe that clips onto the adult earlobe to measure oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. It uses Nellcor OxiMax signal technology, ends in an 11-pin GE-style connector on a 3.0 m (9.8 ft) cable, and works with GE Healthcare and Marquette patient monitors configured with Nellcor OxiMax SpO2.

Why Choose This GE Ear Clip SpO2 Sensor

• Earlobe monitoring site: A dependable alternative when finger sites are unavailable due to poor peripheral perfusion, nail polish, burns, injuries or active hand movement.
• Nellcor OxiMax technology: Built for monitors running Nellcor OxiMax SpO2 algorithms for accurate saturation and pulse-rate readings.
• Long 3.0 m cable: Gives generous reach from the bedside monitor to the patient, reducing cable strain during repositioning.
• Reusable and cost-effective: Cleanable between patients, lowering cost per use compared with single-use adhesive sensors.
• Direct 11-pin connection: Plugs straight into the GE SpO2 port with no separate adapter cable required.

Key Features of the Reusable Adult Ear SpO2 Probe

• Spring-loaded ear clip holds the emitter and detector firmly against the earlobe
• Designed for adult patients
• Soft, flexible grey cable resists tangling and kinking
• 11-pin rectangular GE-style connector with keyed housing for correct orientation
• Latex-free patient contact materials
• Supplied new, 1 piece per bag

Note: confirm your monitor or module is configured for Nellcor OxiMax SpO2 before ordering. Units configured for Masimo SET or GE TruSignal/Ohmeda SpO2 require a sensor with the matching technology.

Clinical Use Cases

• Continuous SpO2 monitoring in ICU, CCU and step-down units
• Operating room and post-anaesthesia care (PACU)
• Emergency departments and patient transport
• Patients with cold extremities, vasoconstriction or low finger perfusion
• Exercise stress testing where hand movement causes finger-sensor artefact
• Fetal/maternal monitoring stations with Nellcor OxiMax SpO2 (e.g. GE 250 series)

Application and Care

1. Clean and warm the earlobe; gently rub to improve local perfusion if needed.
2. Clip the sensor onto the fleshy part of the earlobe, avoiding cartilage and jewellery.
3. Connect the 11-pin plug to the monitor’s SpO2 port and confirm a stable waveform.
4. Check the site regularly and reposition at least every 4 hours to protect skin integrity.
5. Between patients, wipe the clip and cable with 70% isopropyl alcohol or a mild detergent. Do not immerse, autoclave or sterilise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What monitors does this GE Healthcare ear clip SpO2 sensor work with?

It works with GE Healthcare and Marquette monitors configured with Nellcor OxiMax SpO2, including Dash 2500/3000/4000/5000, Solar 8000/8000M, Carescape B650/B850, Carescape V100, Procare B40, Eagle and TRAM modules.

Can I use this sensor on a GE monitor with Masimo or TruSignal SpO2?

No. This probe uses Nellcor OxiMax technology. Monitors or modules configured for Masimo SET or GE TruSignal/Ohmeda SpO2 need a sensor built for that technology.

Is this an ear sensor or a finger sensor?

It is an ear clip sensor designed for the adult earlobe. It is useful when finger sites give poor readings due to low perfusion, movement or nail polish.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 3.0 metres (9.8 ft) and connects directly to the monitor with an 11-pin connector, so no extension cable is needed.

Is the ear clip SpO2 sensor reusable?

Yes. It is a reusable sensor that can be cleaned with 70% isopropyl alcohol between patients. It should not be immersed or autoclaved.

Is this sensor new?

Yes. It is supplied brand new, individually bagged.
