Oximeter Pod (Ear clip)

Overview:

The ML320 Oximeter Pod is used for the non-invasive measurement of blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂). The Oximeter Pod is a research device that is not intended for consumer use in the home.

The Oximeter Pod plugs directly into a PowerLab Pod Port or the Pod Expander. Using the MLT322 SpO2 Ear Clip Sensor, direct saturation readings in the range of 70 to 100% can be made without the need to perform any other scaling.

This ML320/E is supplied with the MLT322 SpO₂ sensor. For an Oximeter Pod with a Finger clip sensor please order the ML320/F.

For a unit configured for measuring pulse oximetry in animals the ML325/AW (tail wrap) or ML325/AC (Animal Clip) Oximeter Pods are available.

Hardware:
ADInstruments signal conditioners only function with PowerLab data acquisition units and therefore are not suitable for use with other data acquisition systems.

Features:

• Semiconductor light emitting diodes in the Ear-Clip transducer
• Pre-calibrated to read in % SpO₂. The scale is fixed at 100% SpO₂
• An alarm which will sound if the value of the SpO₂ drops below 70% or a pulse could not be detected_.

Applications:

The Oximeter Pod is suitable for the measurement of oxygen saturation in the range 70 to 100 %. For more information refer to the Pulse Oximetry application page.
