“I am so lost without my best friend, the Nonin Onyx Pulse
Oximeter. It is one of the best tools I have to know the
status of my patients. It allows me to make the best clinical
judgments in seconds on how my patients are doing. Other
oximeters are subpar!! …[patients] especially like it if the
doctor will go by my oximeter reading and saves the
patient a blood gas!! I love my NONIN!!!!” Agnes Prassas, Clinician

“I’ve learned that the accuracy and reliability is quite good.
I’ve managed to use it on patients that perhaps were not
getting a peripheral saturation using other sources or
saturation monitors, but I usually could get it on my little
Onyx fingertip from Nonin.” Melissa Shaw, RT

Advantage: Accuracy
You are not treating healthy people – you are treating
people with illness:
COPD, IPF, Pulmonary Hypertension, Asthma, other
cardio-pulmonary diseases and patients on ventilators
or receiving supplemental oxygen
The objective is quality of care
You want to know when a patient is experiencing low
blood oxygen concentration and you need to have an
accurate reading of this desaturation
Accurate measurement is critical to understanding the
patient’s condition before you make decisions
Home
Advantage: Accuracy
Accuracy Requires Science
Accurate measurement of unhealthy patients is a
challenge
To achieve readings, sensitive hardware and amplifiers
are used to measure small differences that are typical
with decreasing oxygen
This requires advanced technology and experience
Some pulse oximeter manufacturers make no claims
other than for measuring healthy adults
Nonin’s pulse oximeters with PureSAT® technology have
claims for accuracy in low perfusion and more
Home
Advantage: Accuracy
Not all pulse oximeters are equal
Low cost pulse oximeters may use less advanced
sensing technology that can result in false readings2
A false high SpO2 may result in delayed treatment
A false low SpO2 may result in unneeded treatment
No readings may result in delay in treatment

How is O2 Saturation Measured?
Pulse oximeters get their
reading by measuring the
change of the color of the
blood.
Bright red blood indicates a healthy, oxygenated blood
(arterial hemoglobin with oxygen). 3
Dark color blood indicates low oxygen in the blood (venous
hemoglobin without oxygen). 3
Very small color changes indicate desaturated blood

Accuracy in Desaturation
A performance study was conducted using one tabletop
and three finger pulse oximeters that were attached to a
subject who was breathing through a commercially
available re-breather to induce hypoxia.4

Ability to Capture a Desaturation with a Volunteer
This chart illustrates that over the course of a performance
study, only the Nonin Onyx® and Nellcor™ pulse oximeters
accurately tracked a subject’s desaturation down to 81-82%
SpO2 and back up to 96% SpO2

“I have had many occasions to use the Onyx to monitor
coded patients and for monitoring intubated patients
where other pulse oximeters have been unable to
detect and register the values. My Onyx has also
been used on pediatric patients to frail elderly residents
of nursing homes.” Carl Rod, RCP, RRT

“I’ve correlated it [the Nonin Pulse Oximeter] when I
have drawn blood gas, and when I get the results
back, I can see that the saturations are correlating.” Melissa Shaw, RT

rocks and has been immersed in cold water. The unit
continues to work in all these environments and
remains very readable and usable...The reliability and
ruggedness of the Onyx is the reason I bought one
and always recommend them when asked for a good,
reliable pulse ox.” Carl Rod, RCP, RRT
