The Philips M1196S SpO2 sensor is a reusable adult hard shell finger clip pulse oximetry sensor with a 2.0 m (6.6 ft) cable and an 8-pin Philips FAST connector.
Built to the Philips M1196S reference specifications, it plugs directly into Philips IntelliVue, SureSigns, HeartStart and Avalon monitors and defibrillators to deliver continuous oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate readings on adult patients.
Key Benefits of the M1196S Adult Finger Clip SpO2 Sensor
- Plug-and-play with Philips FAST SpO2: 8-pin Philips connector mates directly with FAST-SpO2 monitor inputs and extension cables.
- Mid-length 2.0 m cable: Reaches from bedside or transport monitors without the slack of a 3.0 m lead.
- Reusable hard shell design: Rigid clip housing with a spring hinge stands up to repeated daily use and routine cleaning.
- Cost-effective: A reusable sensor lowers per-patient cost versus disposable adhesive probes for spot checks and short-term monitoring.
- Quality assured:
Features of the Philips FAST Hard Shell SpO2 Probe
Ergonomic Adult Finger Clip
The clip opens with light thumb pressure and closes evenly over the fingertip, holding the LED emitter and photodetector in line for a stable plethysmograph waveform.
Philips 8-Pin FAST Connector
The blue 8-pin D-shaped connector locks into Philips FAST SpO2 ports and M1941A-style extension cables used across the IntelliVue and SureSigns families.
Durable Medical-Grade Cable
A flexible, shielded 2.0 m cable resists kinking and electrical interference in busy clinical areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Philips M1196S SpO2 sensor?
It is a reusable adult finger clip (hard shell) pulse oximetry sensor with a 2.0 m cable and an 8-pin Philips FAST connector, used with Philips patient monitors and defibrillators.
What is the difference between M1196S, M1196A and M1196AL?
All three are adult hard shell finger clip sensors on the Philips FAST platform; they are distinguished mainly by cable length. This listing is the 2.0 m version. A 3.0 m M1196AL and a 1.0 m M1196A option are also available.
Does this sensor need an extension cable?
The 8-pin connector plugs straight into Philips FAST SpO2 ports. If your monitor uses a different SpO2 input, an appropriate Philips-style adapter or extension cable is required.
Is the M1196S sensor reusable?
Yes. It is designed for multi-patient reuse with cleaning between patients, and carries a 12-month warranty.
Is this sensor suitable for children or neonates?
No. It is sized for adult patients (typically over 40 kg). Use a pediatric sensor or neonatal wrap sensor for smaller patients.
