Accuracy of Methemoglobin Measurement of Various Rainbow Pulse Oximeter Sensors

In this study, the level of methemoglobin (HbMet) will be increased in a controlled manner by administering sodium nitrite intravenously in healthy volunteers. The accuracy of the noninvasive HbMet measurement by a Pulse Oximeter Sensor will be assessed by comparison to blood measurements from a laboratory analyzer.

Inclusion criteria

  • The subject is male or female, aged ≥18 and <50.
  • The subject is in good general health with no evidence of any medical problems.
  • The subject is fluent in both written and spoken English.
  • The subject has provided informed consent and is willing to comply with the study procedures.

Exclusion criteria

  • The subject is obese (BMI>30).
  • The subject has a known history of heart disease, lung disease, kidney or liver disease.
  • Diagnosis of asthma, sleep apnea, or use of CPAP.
  • Subject has diabetes.
  • Subject has a clotting disorder.

Primary outcomes

  1. Accuracy of Methemoglobin Measurement by Arms Calculation

    Time frame: 1-5 hours

    Accuracy willl be determined by comparing the noninvasive blood methemoglobin measurement (expressed as a percentage of total hemoglobin) of the pulse oximeter to that obtained from a blood sample and calculating the arithmetic root mean square(Arms) error value.In order to obtain the Arms value, the blood sample methemoglobin value is subtracted from the pulse oximeter methemoglobin value for a number of samples, the average of this difference is computed as the bias. The standard deviation of the differences is computed as the precision. The square root of the sum of the squares of bias and precision is computed as the Arms Error value.
