Last Updated: 11/30/2023 2:08:13 PM

Previous SEL Number: 09ME-03-BCNI

Description: Non-invasive medical device used to monitor blood levels of substances such as methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin.

ImportantFeatures: May be combined with other functions such as pulse oximetry into a single unit.

Operating Considerations: Consider devices constructed as features built into other devices (EKG monitors, pulse oximeters, etc.). Consider durability of probes, disposable probe accessories and/or infection control, and related maintenance issues. Device cases should be impervious to infectious fluids.

Certain toxic exposures, as well as environmental conditions, can lead to inaccurate readings.

Consider devices with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) batteries; disposable items may require replacement during a protracted incident.
