Opto Circuits India, one of the leading Indian companies that develops, manufactures and markets medical devices for global markets, has developed a new pocket-sized finger pulse oximeter (SPO2 monitor), named M50 NanoSAT. The product is one of the smallest and lightest of such monitors available in the market today.

The product has received CE (Conformite Europeenne) mark that certifies that it has met EU consumer safety, health and environmental requirements and is now available for marketing and distribution in key markets like Europe, Asia and Latin America.

The NanoSAT weighing only 45 grams detects and assesses blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate with the help of an integrated optical soft sensor, enhancing patient comfort and accuracy of measurements.

It is ideal for home healthcare and physician office applications; it will also be useful for SpO2 spot checks in hospitals and EMS centers. The device has a high quality LCD backlit display and can run up to 100 hours in continuous operation with one CR2 Lithium Manganese battery, thus making it reliable for field operations, too.

It also comes with detachable lanyard for added mobility and easy patient applications. Pulse oximetry (detection of arterial oxygen saturation and heart beat rate) is one of the five vital signs that a patient is monitored for in medical care environments.
