Introduction
The
Nonin Onyx 9500 finger pulse oximeter is
a miniature, lightweight device for the measurement of arterial
oxygen saturation (SpO2). The portability and functionality of the
Onyx makes it useful for nearly any situation where a fast and accurate
reading of blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate is needed.
Product
Overview and Description
Nonin's many years of experience in pulse oximetry innovation have led to
the development of the world's smallest, self-contained, digital finger
pulse oximeter-the Onyx. Incorporating the electronics and sensor into one
unit, the Onyx provides a cost-effective solution for spot-checks and short-term
monitoring. Earning the trust of clinicians worldwide, the Onyx has provided
unparalleled reliability and superior performance through its daily use-anywhere,
anytime.
With over 15 years of experience and dedication to the design and
support of noninvasive monitoring devices, Nonin has helped many
medical professionals meet clinical and economic objectives. Trusted
by clinicians worldwide, countless tests are performed every day
on thousands of Nonin's pulse oximeters in more than 125 countries.
Nonin's dedication to technological leadership, precision manufacturing
and uncompromised customer support ensures quality products and
service you expect.
Product
Use and Procedure
The Onyx offers complete convenience:
 |
Automatic
operation when applied to finger |
|
Three
color Pulse Quality Indicator to provide assurance of reading
quality |
Nonin's unique "Pulse
Quality Indicator" provides a quick assessment of pulse quality.
This minimizes training needs and allows the health care professional
to quickly determine if any interaction is required (such as repositioning
the device). The Onyx is ergonomically optimized and meets testing
needs ranging from adults to pediatric with finger thicknesses between
0.3 and 1.0 inches (8mm to 26mm).

Frequently
Asked Questions
| Q: |
Is there a medical term for a decrease in the amount of blood
oxygen? |
| A: |
Yes, the
proper medical term is Hypoxemia. If the tissues receive
too little oxygen, hypoxia can occur, which can result in
tissue damage or death. A pulse oximeter is able to measure
how much of the hemoglobin is carrying oxygen.
|
| Q: |
What
is the normal range of SpO2? |
| A: |
The normal
range of SpO2 is 95% to 99%.
|
| Q: |
What
kind of patients is at risk for Hypoxemia? |
| A: |
The following conditions
put patients at risk for Hypoxemia. They are Asthma, Acute Pulmonary
Disease (Pneumonia), Cystic fibrosis, Post-Op, Multiple Sclerosis,
Coma, Head Injury, Cardiac problems, Pain Management Regimens (Patient-controlled
analgesia, IV conscious sedation, Epidurals), Anemia and Obesity.
These represent only some of the conditions. There are many others.
|
| Q: |
Are
there other applications where detection of Hypoxemia may
be important? |
| A: |
Yes. Some
of those applications would be: weaning patients from supplemental
oxygen, assessing patient tolerance to activity, assessing
effectiveness of treatments such as bronchodilators (Spirometry)
and assessing tolerance to analgesia and sedation.
|
| Q: |
How
is the Onyx Pulse Oximeter powered? |
| A: |
The Onyx
is powered by 2 AAA-size alkaline batteries.
|
| Q: |
Can
the Onyx be used on very young children? |
| A: |
The size
of the child's finger is the critical issue. The finger thickness
range for this piece of equipment is between 0.3 and 1.0 inches.
The typical age of a young child would be about 3 years of
age and up.
|
| Q: |
Is
any maintenance required for the Onyx? |
| A: |
No, there
is no maintenance required. |
