Overview: Most pulse oximeter manufacturers state a precision for pulse rate of ± 3 bpm and a precision for SpO2 of ± 3 % (at a bias of 0) in neonates during non-motion conditions. However, motion is common in this population. Motion adversely affects most pulse oximeters and spurious values can lead to inappropriate care. Conventional pulse oximeters, including Oxismart, performed much worse than their published accuracy specification in this study. Masimo SET pulse oximetry reflected SaO2 and ECG heart rate accurately during motion and broad use should improve care. There are no accuracy studies on any pulse oximeters on neonates undergoing motion.
