SPiO2: Sensors

Combining signal acquisition and signal processing excellence, GE Healthcare systems offer continuous non-invasive monitoring of advanced photoplethysmographic parameters. In addition to SPO₂ measurements, all adult TruSignal finger sensors provide Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) measurement, designed to assess Nociception-Antinociception balance during general anaesthesia.

Large variety of sensors designed for optimal patient confort

• Multiple clinical measurements with a single sensor

• Make the measurement you need when you need it, where you need it, with the same sensor

• Help optimize hospital costs and ordering logistics: use the same sensor for SPO₂ and SPI parameters

• Get SPiO₂ with any of the adult TruSignal finger sensors

• Large choice of SPiO₂ sensors: single-patient use or reusable references

• In the OR, get SPI and SPO₂ measurements integrated on the same monitor screen.

GE SPO₂ has history of innovation for more than 20 years through the legacy of Datex-Ohmeda*, and provides Advanced Plethysmographic Technologies.   

The accuracy of GE Healthcare TruSignal SPO₂ technology exceeds the ISO 9919 standards of four digits, proven in 3 studies¹.   

SPI is calculated from hemodynamic plethysmographic parameters:

• Beat-to-beat Pulse Rate (PR)

• Plethysmogram amplitude (PPGA)

SPI monitoring can be performed with CARESCAPE* monitors and GE SPO₂ technology. SPI measurement site should always be the finger.   

SPI can be measured with any adult TruSignal finger sensor.
