Masimo’s NeoPODS study in critically ill newborns found its SET pulse oximetry technology delivered consistent accuracy across all skin tones, with less than 1% bias. The findings address longstanding ...

This review synthesised existing evidence on racial disparities in pulse oximeter accuracy, quantified the degree of bias, evaluated clinical effects, highlighted implications for practice, and ...

For any given SaO2, SpO2 readings are higher for those with darker versus lighter skin tone. HealthDay News — Patients with darker skin tones have peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO 2) readings that ...
