The Philips FAST All Sizes Forehead SpO2 Sensor 2.0m is a reusable reflectance pulse oximetry sensor that attaches to the patient’s forehead and connects directly to Philips FAST-SpO2 monitors through an 8-pin connector.
It is built to Philips FAST SpO2 reference specifications, suits all patient sizes, and has a 2.0 m (6.6 ft) cable for continuous oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate monitoring on IntelliVue, SureSigns, HeartStart and Avalon systems.
Why Choose This Forehead SpO2 Sensor
- Forehead placement: Gives a monitoring site when fingers, toes or ears are unsuitable, for example in patients with poor peripheral perfusion, cold extremities or hand injuries.
- Philips FAST technology: Built for Philips Fourier Artifact Suppression Technology (FAST) SpO2 measurement.
- All patient sizes: One sensor style covers the full patient range listed in the specification.
- Reusable design: Costs less per patient than single-use adhesive sensors.
- Direct 8-pin connection: Pugs straight into Philips FAST-SpO2 monitor inputs or trunk cables without an extra adapter.
- 12-month warranty
Key Features of the Philips Forehead Pulse Oximetry Sensor
Low-Profile Reflectance Sensor Pad
The flat sensor pad places the emitter and detector next to each other, so it reads by reflectance from one side of the forehead. The images show the sensor with a soft fabric headband that holds the pad in place.
2.0 m Cable for Bedside Flexibility
The 2.0 m (6.6 ft) grey cable reaches comfortably from bed to monitor without too much slack.
Philips-Style 8-Pin FAST Connector
The blue-keyed 8-pin connector matches the Philips FAST SpO2 interface found on IntelliVue MMS modules, SureSigns vital-signs monitors and HeartStart defibrillators.

Check that your monitor’s SpO2 input uses Philips FAST technology with the 8-pin connector before you order.
Clinical Use Cases
- ICU and critical care patients with poor peripheral circulation or on vasopressors
- Operating room and anaesthesia recovery (PACU) monitoring
- Emergency departments and patient transport with HeartStart and IntelliVue X2/X3 units
- Patients with burns, trauma or amputations where finger sensors cannot be used
- Long-term bedside monitoring on general wards
Care and Cleaning
- Wipe the sensor pad and cable between patients with a mild disinfectant such as 70% isopropyl alcohol.
- Do not soak the connector or sterilise the sensor by autoclave.
- Check the headband and sensor site regularly, and reposition as your facility’s protocol requires.
- Store the cable loosely coiled. Do not bend it sharply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a forehead SpO2 sensor used for?
A forehead SpO2 sensor measures blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate using reflectance from the forehead. It is used when peripheral sites like fingers give weak or unreliable signals.
Which monitors does this Philips forehead SpO2 sensor work with?
It works with Philips FAST-SpO2 monitors that use the 8-pin connector, including IntelliVue MP and MX series, SureSigns VM/VS series, HeartStart MRx/XL and Avalon FM fetal monitors. It also works with Goldway G40, Mindray V12 and Solaris NT2A/NT2C.
What patient sizes does it fit?
The specification lists this sensor for all patient sizes.
Is the sensor reusable?
Yes. It is a reusable sensor. Clean it between patients according to your facility’s infection-control protocol.
How long is the cable?
The cable is 2.0 m (about 6.6 ft) from sensor pad to connector.
Do I need an adapter cable?
No adapter is needed for Philips FAST monitors with an 8-pin SpO2 input. The sensor also plugs into standard Philips 8-pin SpO2 extension cables.
What warranty is included?
This forehead SpO2 sensor comes with a 12-month warranty.
