Accuracy of ScanWatch Pulse Oximeter With Profound Hypoxia

Performance testing of pulse oximeters. The protocol involves brief stable arterial oxygen desaturation in healthy volunteers and sampling arterial blood when a stable level of hypoxia has been attained. The blood sample is analyzed for oxygen saturation with a gold standard bench CO-oximeter. This protocol is aligned with the latest ISO and FDA guidance documents for pulse oximeter testing.

  • Diagnosis of asthma, sleep apnea, or use of CPAP.
  • Subject has diabetes.
  • Subject has a clotting disorder.
  • The subject a hemoglobinopathy or history of anemia, per subject report or the first blood sample that in the opinion of the investigator, would make them unsuitable for study participation.
  • The subject has any other serious systemic illness.
  • The subject is a current smoker.
  • The subject has piercings that may cause air leaks during the test
  • The subject has any injury, deformity, or abnormality at the sensor sites that in the opinion of the investigators' would interfere with the sensors working correctly.
  • The subject has a history of fainting or vasovagal response.
  • The subject has a history of sensitivity to local anesthesia.
  • The subject has a diagnosis of Raynaud's disease.
  • The subject has unacceptable collateral circulation based on exam by the investigator (Allen's test).

  • The subject is unable or unwilling to provide informed consent, or is unable or unwilling to comply with study procedures.
  • The subject has a resting heartrate over 120, Systolic BP is over 150, diastolic BP is over 90 or room air SpO2 is less than 94%.
  • The subject has carboxyhemoglobin over 3% as measured by Lab blood gas analysis.
  • The subject has any other condition, which in the opinion of the investigators' would make them unsuitable to participate.
