The Nellcor MAXFAST forehead SpO2 sensor (1.0m) is a reusable, all-sizes reflectance pulse oximetry sensor built to the Nellcor MAXFAST reference specifications with Nellcor OxiMax technology and a 9-pin connector.
It measures oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate from the forehead instead of a finger, which makes it a practical choice for patients with cold hands, low peripheral perfusion or finger-site access problems.
Key Benefits of This Nellcor OxiMax Forehead Sensor
- Central monitoring site: The forehead is supplied by the supraorbital artery and is less affected by peripheral vasoconstriction than fingers or toes.
- All patient sizes: One forehead sensor for adult, pediatric and other patients where forehead placement is clinically appropriate.
- Reusable design: A durable sensor and cable that can be cleaned between patients, lowering cost per use compared with single-use sensors.
- OxiMax technology: Built for Nellcor OxiMax monitors and modules that accept 9-pin OxiMax sensors.
- Compact 1.0m cable: Keeps the lead short and tidy at the bedside, in theatre or during transport.
- 12-month warranty
Features
Reflectance Forehead Sensor Design
The low-profile sensor pad sits flat against the skin above the eyebrow. The light emitter and photodetector are on the same side, so SpO2 is read by reflectance rather than by light passing through a finger.
9-Pin Nellcor OxiMax Connector
The blue 9-pin plug connects directly to Nellcor OxiMax monitors or to an OxiMax extension/adapter cable, with no separate interface cable required on OxiMax-equipped systems.
Reusable Construction
Soft medical-grade materials and a flexible cable are designed for repeated cleaning and daily clinical use.

Always confirm your monitor accepts Nellcor OxiMax 9-pin sensors before ordering.
Use Cases
- ICU and critical care patients with poor peripheral perfusion or vasoconstriction
- Operating theatres and post-anaesthesia recovery (PACU)
- Emergency departments and patient transport
- Patients with cold extremities, finger injuries, burns or restricted hand access
- Long-term continuous SpO2 monitoring on Nellcor OxiMax systems
Placement, Care and Cleaning
- Place the sensor on clean, dry skin on the lower forehead, just above the eyebrow and roughly centred over the iris.
- Secure it with a suitable headband or positioning aid to keep light, even contact.
- Check the skin site regularly and reposition as per your facility protocol.
- Wipe the sensor and cable with a mild disinfectant (e.g. 70% isopropyl alcohol) between patients. Do not immerse or autoclave.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Nellcor MAXFAST forehead SpO2 sensor?
It is a forehead-placed pulse oximetry sensor that reads SpO2 by reflectance. This version is reusable, built to the Nellcor MAXFAST reference with OxiMax technology, a 9-pin connector and a 1.0m cable.
Why use a forehead sensor instead of a finger sensor?
The forehead keeps good blood flow when fingers and toes are cold or vasoconstricted, so it can give a steadier reading in low-perfusion patients.
Will it work with my Nellcor N-600x or Philips IntelliVue monitor?
Yes, if the SpO2 input accepts Nellcor OxiMax 9-pin sensors. It works with the N-600x, N-595, PM100N and Philips IntelliVue models fitted with the Nellcor OxiMax SpO2 option.
Is this sensor reusable?
Yes. It is a reusable sensor designed to be cleaned and used again, unlike single-use adhesive forehead sensors.
What patient sizes does it fit?
It is an all-sizes forehead sensor for patients where forehead placement is clinically suitable.
How long is the cable and what connector does it have?
The cable is 1.0m (3.3ft) with a 9-pin Nellcor OxiMax connector.
Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, it is brand new and covered by a 12-month warranty.
