The BCI Forehead SpO2 Sensor is a new, reusable pulse oximetry sensor with a 1.0m cable and 9-pin connector that measures oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate from the patient’s forehead. It suits all patient sizes, is supplied with a headband, and is built to the BCI 9-pin SpO2 reference specifications for BCI / Smiths Medical pulse oximeters and patient monitors.
Key Benefits of the BCI Forehead Pulse Oximeter Sensor
- Alternative monitoring site: Forehead placement is useful when fingers or ears are unavailable, injured or hard to access.
- One sensor for all patient sizes: A single flat sensor head covers adult, pediatric and smaller patients, reducing the stock you need to hold.
- Reusable design: Cleanable between patients for a lower cost per use than single-use sensors.
- Secure fit: The supplied headband holds the sensor flat against the forehead during monitoring.
- Peace of mind: Brand-new unit backed by a 12-month warranty.
