With its three-button operation and truly portable design, the Nonin 8500 Oximeter is exceptionally easy to use. It offers accuracy you can trust even in more challenging conditions, such as motion or low perfusion. At the same time, the tricolour indicator provides immediate feedback to assess pulse quality.
What Are the Key Features of the Nonin 8500 Digital Pulse Oximeter?
The Nonin 8500 has been designed to achieve the most intuitive and effective demand possible:
- Nonin PureSAT technology – guarantees precise assessments of oxygen saturation and pulse rate
- Tri-colour perfusion indicator – provides immediate assessment of pulse quality
- Suitable for most patients – of all ages, from neonates to adults
- Three-button operation – allows for easy, intuitive use
- Bright LED display – keeps results easily legible at a glance
- Eighteen hours of memory – makes it easy to store results and build records
- One hundred hours of battery life – makes sure that you have power whenever you need it
- U.S. Air Force certified – making this device appropriate for aeromedical use
What Ages of Patients Is the Nonin 8500 Oximeter Suitable For?
Suitable for use with people of all ages, regardless of their medical background, the Nonin 8500 Oximeter is a truly universal device. It provides quick and accurate assessment of blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate from adults to neonates.
Just How Durable Is This Oximeter?
The durability of the Nonin 8500 Digital Pulse Oximeter has been proven through use. It features a minimal, practical design, with little opportunity for components to become damaged.
What if I Want Additional Protection?
The Nonin 8500 Oximeter features a robust design, but if you want additional protection – for instance if you are in an environment where there is a risk of unusual bumping or even dropping from occurring – then it might be worth investing in a case. The Protective Rubber Bumper for Nonin 8500 Series Monitors is designed explicitly for this purpose.
Is This Device Latex-Free?
Both the finger clip and handheld element of this pulse oximeter are completely latex-free. This means that they are appropriate for use on patients and by medical professionals with sensitive skin or latex allergies.
Is This Oximeter Suitable for Aeromedical Use?
Remarkably, this device is even certified by the U.S. Air Force as appropriate for aeromedical use. This means that it satisfies all the demands of providing medical care in aviation contexts.
What Is Nonin PureSAT Technolgy?
Nonin PureSAT technology features an excellent rate of artifact rejection alongside improved pulse detection. This allows it to achieve faster, more precise readings than other devices.
What Is the Purpose of the Tri-Colour Indicator?
In order to detect the perfusion level of patients the Nonin 8500 features a tri-colour indicator. This allows you to determine the general accuracy of the diagnostics taking place.
How Long is the Battery Life of This Oximeter?
Using 6 standard AA batteries the Nonin 8500 can achieve up to 160 hours of continuous operation when on low display brightness. At maximum brightness it can achieve up to 100 hours of continuous operation.
Does This Pulse Oximeter Come with a Warranty?
Yes! Nonin guarantee a three year manufacturer's warranty on their 8500 Digital Pulse Oximeter. This means you can make a purchase in the security of knowing you will receive long-term high-quality diagnostics from your device.
