About this oximeter:

This device was tested by the Hypoxia Lab in 2016 in 10-12 study subjects and found to have performance that would not meet ISO or FDA standards or guidance.

Arms

OpenOx Performance

Root mean square error (Arms) is a common measure of pulse oximeter device performance that combines bias and precision. Here we report Arms based on Open Oximetry device testing using 2013 FDA Guidelines for 510k submissions and 2017 ISO 80601. Read more about quantification of oximeter performance on our FAQ.

*NOTE: performance is only reported here once we have tested the device in >10 study subjects (i.e. as required by 2013 FDA and 2017 ISO requirements). Performance may change significantly as we continue to perform testing in additional subjects and conditions. Please continue to check back as we update frequently. Click the device to see how details on how many subjects have been tested as well as details of skin color testing.

Purchase Cost

Here we report retail purchase costs (US $) for buying the pulse oximeter, including one adult finger probe. Costs are obtained from one or multiple sources including manufacturers or online retail stores. Of note, some devices have special discount pricing for low and middle-income countries. The special prices are not accounted for in this report.

Lifetime is assumed to be 10 years. Salvage cost at the end of 10 years is assumed to be zero for all devices. Cost of device maintenance or repair is not assumed to be zero. We assume probe and device replacement intervals based on evolving input from clinician collaborators around the world based on device type alone (i.e. fingertip, handheld, etc), though note these vary widely by setting and manufacturer. These intervals attempt to grossly account for wear and tear, damage or misplacement and theft.

Data independent Arms data collected

This is the date that the Open Oximetry collected data in the UCSF Hypoxia Lab data to 'verify' or 'dispute' device performance. If Arms data were obtained from a source other than the Hypoxia Lab, please review the date for that source. Of note, device performance may be specific to a model year (even if the model name has not changed).

Source of independent Arms data

Root mean square error (Arms) is a common measure of pulse oximeter device performance. 'Arms' may be ascertained from manufacturers' published data, 510k reports, package inserts or primary data from testing conducted by the UCSF Hypoxia Lab. Devices independently tested by the Open Oximetry Project will be marked 'verified' or 'disputed' depending on study findings.

Data published by manufacturer

We are working to gather device performance data published directly by manufacturers.

Low perfusion performance data

We are working to gather data on device performance during varying conditions such as low perfusion. We are also working to standardize protocols for such testing. Read more on 'perfusion' in our FAQ.

Not Available

Raw PPG data

We are working to gather raw data for device performance to share for independent analysis. We expect to launch this feature later in 2023.

Not Available

In vitro (simulator) performance data

We are working on novel in vitro testing protocols for both commercially available devices (e.g. Fluke ProSim8) and novel in vitro devices. We expect to report data for this testing later in 2023.
