Why Nonin EQUANOX neonatal and pediatric sensors? |
|
The EQUANOX 8004CB and 8004CB-NA Neonatal/Pediatric Sensors were designed to be used in a variety of clinical settings. More...Less...
Some settings include operating room, the neonatal intensive care unit and the pediatric intensive care unit. Select features of the EQUANOX™ Advance Neonatal/Pediatric Sensor Model 8004CB Series include:
- Cerebral and Somatic Monitoring – Up to four-channel monitoring on one screen.
- Absolute Accuracy – Not just trending accuracy; with Absolute Accuracy clinicians can trust and act on the saturation parameters provided.
- Dynamic Compensation™* Algorithm – A revolutionary new algorithm enhancement that automatically adjusts for the varying light-scattering properties of neonate/infant brains at varying stages of myelination.
- Pediatric-Specific Spacing of Light Emitters and Detectors – Designed specifically for patients weighing less than 40 kg with varying levels of myelination.
- Consistency and Reliability – Rapid, reliable response to change without signal instability and interruptions from ambient electrical and optical interference.

Technology designed specifically for neonatal and pediatric patients |
Nonin’s exclusive EQUANOX technology reduces inaccuracies caused by light scattering effects from non-target tissue. More...Less...
Dual emitters and dual detectors in the EQUANOX Advance sensor create pairs of reflected light paths through surface tissue and through the cerebral cortex, producing measurements that are minimally affected by intervening tissue or surface effects.
Four-wavelength algorithms translate light information into accurate measurements.
The light absorption information collected by the dual emitter/detector architecture is automatically incorporated into Nonin’s Dynamic Compensation™ light processing algorithm, to provide real tissue oxygenation saturation values based on the patient’s unique brain development characteristics.
Dual emitters. Dual detectors. A singular breakthrough in neonatal and pediatric cerebral/somatic oximetry.
Only Nonin EQUANOX uses two emitters and two detectors to provide cerebral cortex measurements that are minimally affected by intervening tissue or surface effects.

Introducing Nonin Medical’s Dynamic Compensation™* |
|
The EQUANOX System is the first oximetry algorithm to automatically account for developing neonatal/pediatric brain tissue. More...Less...
The optical properties of brain tissue change
significantly during the first few months of life. The EQUANOX Advance
Cerebral/Somatic Oximetry System effectively isolates targeted tissue
and automatically takes into account the light attenuation changes
caused by myelination variation, providing you with data you can act on.
To measure blood oxygen saturation levels,
cerebral and somatic oximeters must separate the optical effects of
blood from tissue.
Myelination development changes the optical properties of the pediatric brain and can vary from patient to patient

featuring light emitter/detector spacing that
has been engineered and tested for neonate/infant/pediatric patients.
This light path spacing is designed to reach, but not pass through, the
vascularized cerebral cortex.
EQUANOX Advance 8004CB-NA Sensor
Whereas other cerebral oximetry systems
require clinicians to enter information such as age and weight in order
to obtain approximate brain development, Nonin’s Dynamic Compensation™
algorithm makes this step unnecessary and provides confidence that the
data is patient specific. You simply place the sensor and instantly see
the values. The displayed signal refreshes every 1.4 seconds; so, if the
tissue saturation is changing, you will see it quickly.

The EQUANOX Advance cerebral/somatic oximetry system overview |
With the EQUANOX Advance Cerebral /Somatic Oximetry System for neonatal/pediatric patients, clinicians no longer have to make do with yesterday’s engineering. More...Less...
This system offers absolute accuracy—in
either cerebral or somatic positions— regardless of body size, skin
color, or features. Just as important, it sets new standards in
portability, versatility and ease of use.
Sensors MODEL 8004CB/8004CB-NA
- Pliable foam sensors that conform to patient anatomy.
- Adhesive and non-adhesive sensors to accommodate delicate skin.
- Sensors are extremely immune to the
effects of ambient light — no need to cover the exposed sensor and
surrounding skin with a light-shielding drape.
Monitor MODEL 7600
- Bright, easy-to-read monitor with 69 hours of data memory.
- Intuitive, easy-to-operate user interface — no data entry required.
