The Philips M1190A adult soft tip SpO2 sensor is a reusable pulse oximetry finger sensor with a 3.0 m cable and a 12-pin round connector, built to the Philips M1190A reference specifications and using Nellcor Oxismart SpO2 technology.
It measures oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate on adult patients and plugs directly into Philips/HP Viridia, CMS, Merlin, Omnicare and HeartStart XL monitors and defibrillators that accept the M1190A sensor.
Why Choose This Philips M1190A Soft Tip SpO2 Sensor
- Soft silicone finger tip: A flexible, enclosed tip wraps gently around the finger for patient comfort during long-term and continuous monitoring.
- Reduced ambient-light interference: The enclosed soft tip shields the LED and photodetector for more stable readings.
- Long 3.0 m (approx. 9.8 ft) cable: Reaches from bedside or transport monitor to patient without an extension cable.
- Direct 12-pin round connection: Connects straight to the monitor’s SpO2 port – no adapter cable needed on M1190A-ready equipment.
- Reusable and cost-effective: Cleanable between patients, lowering the cost per use compared with disposable probes.
- Brand-new condition
Key Features of the Adult Soft Tip Pulse Oximeter Sensor
Nellcor Oxismart SpO2 Technology
The sensor is designed around Nellcor Oxismart signal technology, matching the SpO2 measurement platform used by the Philips M1190A reference sensor, for accurate saturation and pulse-rate values on supported monitors.
Adult Patient Size, Reusable Design
Sized for adult fingers (typically patients over 40 kg). The reusable construction is ideal for ICU, ward, emergency and anaesthesia settings where sensors are used continuously and cleaned between patients.
Soft Tip vs Hard Shell
Compared with a hard-shell finger clip, the soft tip sensor spreads pressure more evenly, making it the preferred choice for extended monitoring, restless patients and sensitive skin.

Care and Cleaning
- Wipe the sensor and cable with a soft cloth dampened with 70% isopropyl alcohol or a mild hospital-grade disinfectant between patients.
- Do not immerse, autoclave or gas-sterilise the sensor.
- Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable; coil loosely for storage.
- Inspect the soft tip and connector pins before each use; replace if damaged.
- Reposition the sensor at least every 4 hours during continuous monitoring to protect skin integrity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Philips M1190A SpO2 sensor?
The M1190A is a reusable adult finger SpO2 sensor used with Philips/HP patient monitors. This version features a soft silicone tip, a 3.0 m cable and a 12-pin round connector, and uses Nellcor Oxismart technology.
Which monitors does this adult soft tip SpO2 sensor work with?
It works with Philips/HP Viridia (V24, V24E, 24C, A1, A3), CMS/M1166A–M1177A, Merlin, Omnicare, HeartStart XL, Codemaster and the Series 50XM fetal monitor, among the other models listed above.
Is this SpO2 sensor reusable?
Yes. It is designed for repeated use and can be cleaned and disinfected between patients following the care instructions above.
What is the difference between a soft tip and a hard shell SpO2 sensor?
A soft tip sensor uses a flexible silicone sleeve that fits snugly around the finger and is better for long-term monitoring and comfort. A hard shell sensor uses a spring-loaded clip that is quick to apply for spot checks.
How long is the sensor cable?
The cable is 3.0 metres (about 9.8 feet) long and connects directly to the monitor without an extension cable.
What cross-reference numbers match this sensor?
It matches Philips M1190A, AMC PR-A900-1006, Envitec R-2412 / R-2412plus and Unimed U410S-20.
