The measurement is obtained by placing a sensor on a patient, usually on
the fingertip for adults and the hand or foot for infants. The sensor
connects either directly to the Pulse CO-Oximetry device or through a
patient cable.
The sensor collects signal data from the patient and sends it to the
device. The device displays the calculated data as percentage value for
the SpMet.
Successful Monitoring for SpMet
A stable SpMet reading is associated with correct sensor placement, small
physiological changes during the measurement and acceptable levels of
arterial perfusion in the patient’s fingertip (measurement site).
Physiological changes at the measurement site are mainly caused by
fluctuations in the oxygen saturation, blood concentration and perfusion.

General Description for Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI)
Pulse CO-Oximetry is a continuous and noninvasive method of measuring
changes in oxygen states in hyperoxic conditions. It relies on the same
principles of pulse oximetry to make its ORi* measurement.
The measurement is taken by a sensor capable of measuring ORi, usually
on the fingertip for adult or pediatric patients. The sensor connects
directly to the Pulse CO-Oximeter or with a patient cable. The sensor
collects signal data from the patient and sends it to the device. The
device displays the processed data as an indicator of changes in oxygen
states in hyperoxic conditions.
