Covidien Nellcor Neonatal SpO2 Monitor

Continuous oxygen-saturation monitoring is an important part of neonatal and NICU care. The Covidien Nellcor Neonatal SpO₂ Monitor helps healthcare professionals observe a newborn’s blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate through a compatible neonatal pulse-oximetry sensor.

The monitor provides visible readings and clinical alarms that can help trained staff identify changes requiring assessment. It is intended to support professional observation and must not replace direct patient assessment, laboratory testing or the clinical judgment of a neonatologist.

Nellcor monitoring systems are designed for pulse-oximetry applications across different patient categories. Selected models provide continuous SpO₂ and pulse-rate measurements, plethysmographic waveforms, trend information and configurable alarms.

Models such as the Nellcor PM100N are intended for bedside monitoring, while the PM10N offers a more portable format for continuous monitoring or spot checks. Older Nellcor models may also be available as pre-owned or refurbished units. The features of one model should not be assumed to apply to every Nellcor monitor.

The exact monitor model should be confirmed before purchase. A NICU may require a bedside system with continuous display, alarm management and trend review, while another clinical setting may prefer a portable device.

Buyers should verify the model number, supported patient modes, battery condition, alarm functions, trend capacity, sensor connection and available accessories. If the unit is refurbished, its service history, functional testing and warranty should also be confirmed.
