A-Series Sensors
: For A-Series sensor SpO
2
 and Pulse Rate accuracy 
specifications, reference your Philips/Agilent/HP instrument’s Instructions for Use.
B-Series Sensors: SpO
2
 and Pulse Rate accuracy specifications for M1191B and 
M1191BL sensors are the same as indicated for M1191A and M1191AL sensors in 
your Philips/Agilent/HP instrument’s Instructions for Use.
Special Edition A-Series Sensors (AN-Series): SpO
2
 accuracy (functional 
saturation) for Special Edition A-Series sensors used in combination with M1020B 
or M3001A, Option A02, specified as the root-mean-square (RMS) difference 
between the measured values and the reference values, in the range 70 to 100% is: 
2% for M1191ANL and M1192AN; 3% for M1193AN, M1194AN, and M1195AN.
Neonatal Applications: The claimed accuracy numbers for neonatal application 
are already increased by an additional 1% to account for affect on oximeter 
measurements due to fetal hemoglobin in neonatal blood, as predicted by the 
literature.  
Light Emitting Diode Wavelength Ranges
Wavelength ranges for the light emitting diodes used in these sensors are within 
600nm-1000nm, with an optical output power of less than 15mW. Knowing the 
wavelength range can be useful to clinicians performing photodynamic therapy.
Measurement Validation
The SpO
2
 accuracy has been validated in human studies against arterial blood 
sample reference measured with a CO-oximeter. In a controlled desaturation study, 
healthy adult volunteers with saturation levels between 70% and 100% SaO2 were 
studied. The population characteristics for those studies were:
Approximately 50% female and 50% male ranging in age from 18-45
Skin tone: from light to black
Because pulse oximeter equipment measurements are statistically distributed, only 
approximately 2/3 of pulse oximeter equipment measurements can be expected to 
fall within the + Arms value measured by a CO-oximeter. Functional testers, such 
as an SpO
simulator cannot be used to assess the accuracy of pulse oximeter 
Sensors.
