Choosing the correct SpO2 sensor cable starts with the connector. Similar-looking plugs can have different pin layouts, keying, locking mechanisms and signal technologies, so connector shape alone should not be used to confirm compatibility.
Check the existing sensor cable for a part number or reference number, then confirm the patient monitor brand and model. Compare the connector size, pin count, keying and cable type. Also check whether the monitor uses a specific SpO2 technology platform, as this can affect compatibility even when the physical connector appears similar.
Patient type matters as well. Adult finger-clip sensors, paediatric sensors, infant and neonatal sensors, soft-tip sensors and ear-clip sensors can use different cable assemblies and applications.
For replacement options, browse the Reusable SpO2 Sensors category at Medical Equipments Australia. Before ordering, compare the monitor model, existing sensor reference and connector details carefully. For brand-level guidance, see our SpO2 sensor compatibility guide for Philips, Nellcor, Masimo, Mindray and GE.
