daeg SpO2 Analyzer: the professional tool for pulse oximeter testing
The daeg SpO2 Analyzer by Metron stands out as a highly precise simulation and testing device intended for healthcare professionals and biomedical technicians seeking to ensure the optimal performance of pulse oximeters, whether standalone or integrated into multiparameter monitors. With its ability to simulate oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels from 35% to 100%, heart rates from 30 to 300 bpm, and various pulse amplitudes, it reliably replicates a wide range of clinical scenarios. This includes specific patient conditions such as geriatric, obese, bradycardic, tachycardic, or weak pulse cases.
In addition to simulating physiological signals, the analyzer evaluates probe quality using the PTA-1 adapter. This feature allows users to quickly diagnose cable faults, issues with the red or infrared LEDs, or errors in the built-in photodetector of SpO2 probes. Furthermore, the probes are independently calibrated, making them interchangeable between different daeg units, optimizing your equipment management.
The daeg's backlit graphical interface makes it easy to read test results, even in dim environments. Its compact and rugged housing weighs only 0.6 kg with batteries, making it ideal for mobile use or tight clinical spaces. A large flash memory allows the storage of up to 80 downloaded R-curves corresponding to the most common oximeter models (Nellcor, Masimo, Nonin, Philips, etc.).
With the PRO-Soft software, users can update the device, add new oximeter models for testing, create custom protocols, save results to a computer, and review previous tests. The daeg easily integrates into modern biomedical maintenance environments via its RS-232C port or Centronics printer interface, compatible with standard printers such as HP DeskJet or Canon Bubble Jet.
The device also features 5-lead ECG simulation capabilities for comprehensive testing of multiparameter monitors. Users can simulate sinusoidal ECG signals, synchronized with the pleth waveform for in-depth testing. It operates on either AA batteries or a power adapter, offering up to 12 hours of battery life (without backlight), making it a dependable field tool.
The daeg SpO2 Analyzer is a complete, reliable, scalable, and cost-effective solution for the regular testing of pulse oximeters across hospital or biomedical service environments.
