The Masimo SET® family of SpO2 Sensors are designed to provide superior performance when used with Masimo SET pulse oximeters. Masimo sensors are designed for very low signal to noise situations, including low perfusion and motion artifact. Masimo sensors also perform well under other difficult conditions such as electro-magnetic interference, including electro-cautery devices and ambient light, Masimo's sensor design represents a significant first line of defense against interfering signals (i.e., noise); thus, becoming a key element of the Masimo SET pulse oximetry system.

  • A complete selection of single-patient use sensors are available ranging from adult digit sensors to sensors designed for neonates below 1000 grams. System performance in high motion, low perfusion or noisy environments (high ambient light and/or electro-cautery interference), will be significantly improved with the use of the adhesive, single-patient use sensors.
  • A complete selection of single patient use, latex free adhesive sensors is available for all patients from neonates to adults.
  • Reusable Adult and Pediatric finger clip sensors are available for
    short-term or spot check monitoring.
  • A reusable multisite sensor and an Ear sensor are also available.

Masimo SET Sensors: Basic Principles

In high motion, low perfusion or otherwise challenging environments, use of the adhesive LNOP sensors are strongly recommended for optimal performance.

Tips for Use:

  • When selecting a sensor site, priority should be given to an extremity free of an arterial catheter, blood pressure cuff or intra-vascular infusion line.
  • Ensure that the emitter and detector of the LNOP or NR sensor are properly aligned as outlined in the probe attachment instructions and the Directions For Use. 
  • As an alternative for infants over 3 kg or with fat or edematous feet, consider use of the LNOP Neo sensor on the big toe. Adhesive sensor sites should be checked at least every eight hours. Reusable sensors must be repositioned every four hours. 
  • Adhesive sensors may be reapplied to the same patient if the emitter and detector windows are clear and the adhesive still adheres to the skin. 
  • For use in neonates with particularly fragile skin, the stickiness of the medical grade adhesive can be diminished or eliminated by daubing the adhesive areas with a cotton ball. 
    Reusable sensors should be cleaned between patients, refer to Directions For Use.
