Chest mounted pulse oximetry
ST&D Ltd, a UK based manufacturer of wireless monitoring systems, has designed a novel chest mounted pulse oximetry system.
ST&D Ltd, a UK based manufacturer of wireless monitoring systems, has designed a novel chest mounted pulse oximetry system. Patients wear just a small patch electrode, similar to a Band-Aid, onto which the miniaturised wireless monitor is clipped. The device continually measures the five vital signs; arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), ECG, respiration, temperature and motion.
The system uses a patented optical technique that, ST&D reports, greatly decreases the risk of motion artefacts and picks up changes in oxygen saturation much more quickly than SpO2 fingertip monitoring. This reliable monitoring system enables a much quicker diagnosis of changes than is available from conventional systems, the firm points out.
