The Nihon Kohden forehead SpO2 sensor is a reusable reflectance pulse oximetry sensor that measures oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate from the patient’s forehead. It has a 1.6m cable, a 9-pin connector, suits all patient sizes, and works with patient monitors that use Nihon Kohden SpO2 technology, including the BSM and Life Scope series. It is supplied new with a 12-month warranty.
Key Benefits of This Forehead Pulse Oximeter Sensor
- Alternative measurement site: Forehead placement is useful when a finger site is unavailable, hard to reach or gives a weak signal.
- One sensor for all patient sizes: A single reusable forehead probe reduces the number of size-specific sensors a department needs to stock.
- Reusable design: Built for repeated use between patients when cleaned according to your facility protocol, lowering cost per use.
- Direct connection: The 9-pin plug connects to Nihon Kohden SpO2 inputs with no change to the monitor.
- 12-month warranty: Covered for a full year from purchase.
