Philips Nasal Alar SpO2 Sensor by Curaplex®
The Nasal Alar SpO2 Sensor is your "one-and-done" solution for fast, accurate and dependable SpO2 readings.
The nasal ala is the optimal site for accurate pulse oximetry, as arterial blood is supplied to the nose from the facial artery
Continuously monitor for up to 29 days without adhesives vs. traditional finger or forehead sensors
Accurate, reliable signal even when other sensors fail on critically ill patients

 |
• Detects O2 saturation changes up to 30 seconds faster than finger sensors1 |
 |
• Ultra-responsive to changes in oxygen saturation1 |
 |
• Apply quickly with easy access during transport |
 |
• Keeps the SpO2 sensor off of the hands which are a common site for burns |

• Detects O2 saturation changes up to 30 seconds faster than finger sensors1
• Perfusion at the nasal ala remains high even with the use of vasopressors
• One sensor can be used for up to 29 days, saving you money
• Ultra-responsive to changes in oxygen saturation1
• The ala is easily accessible from the head of bed and for supine patients
• One sensor, from pre-op to post-op
• Sensor stays on with minimal pressure, little heat and no adhesive, reducing both signal dropout and skin damage2
• Apply quickly with easy access during transport
• Reliable results for confident assessment
• Because the nostril shades the photo detector, ambient light does not affect your readings
• Keeps the SpO2 sensor off of the hands which are a common site for burns
• Location placement is ideal as typical finger sensors are susceptible to frequent edema and large fluid shifts
