title: Multiwavelength oximeters.
abstract: We evaluated three oximeters from three manufacturers. We based our ratings on operator safety, ability to report all parameters, alarm features, and human factors design. All units are rated Conditionally Acceptable. They are Acceptable on the condition that users assume the responsibility for taking appropriate infection control measures to minimize exposure to potentially infectious blood samples.
