Offering a significant advancement in patient safety monitoring, the Nellcor Max-Fast Adhesive Forehead Sensor is our first sensor innovation enabled by the OxiMax technology platform. This revolutionary sensor detects changes in SpO 2 notably earlier than digit sensors during poor perfusion conditions. It also gives you a truer picture of the magnitude of transient desaturations.
Why a ForeHead Sensor Makes Sense
Faster hypoxemia detection
Designed for use on the patient's forehead, a site closer to the heart, the Max-Fast sensor responds to changes in arterial oxygen saturation typically one to two minutes sooner than digit sensors for patients with weak pulses.
Signal strength
Unlike ear sensors, which may cause pressure necrosis and are subject to vasoconstriction, the Max-Fast sensor maintains stronger signal integrity.
Convenient sensor site
Clinicians often have easier access to the forehead than to the hands, especially in the operating room.
Additional Max-Fast Features
Highly accurate
Max-Fast sensors are more accurate than all other ear, nose and forehead sensors.
Clinical versatility
Effective for mechanically ventilated and supine patients.
Efficient and economical
A single Max-Fast sensor can be used for up to two days with appropriate site inspections and changes.
This sensor must be used with a Nellcor Oximax Compatible Monitor: Model N-45 or N-595.
