Pulse oximeters are noninvasive devices used to measure a patient's blood-oxygen saturation level and pulse rate. Through in-depth interviews and primary market analysis, Frost & Sullivan has determined that Nonin Medical’s pulse oximeters are becoming the solution of choice, especially among homecare Durable Medical Equipment (DME) providers, due to superior product performance.
“We are pleased that Frost & Sullivan recognizes Nonin Medical’s commitment to quality in an extremely price-sensitive market,” said Steve Bucholz, president and chief operating officer, Nonin Medical. “Nonin invented the finger pulse oximeter with the Onyx®9500, and all of our oximeters are made in the United States. This award validates what our clinical data and customer feedback has been telling us: Not all pulse oximeters perform alike, and quality does matter for providers and patients.”
The Frost & Sullivan best-practices research report also recognized that Nonin distinguishes itself from low-cost, Internet-based health and wellness pulse oximeters through data that supports its device performance claims. For more information, visit www.nonin.com.
