Opto Circuits India Limited (OCI), India's leading manufacturer of medical diagnostics and interventional products, announced the receipt of US FDA approval on a next-generation pulse oximeter (SpO2) module, Sequel developed by its Waukesha-based subsidiary- Criticare Systems Inc (CSI). The approval enables immediate integration of the module into CSI monitors and marketing and sale of the product to OEM manufacturers across the globe.
Sequel is a miniaturised, motion-tolerant and a more sensitive SpO2 module that is designed to power new generation vital signs monitors and other patient monitors for the entire CSI range of products. This product is also a perfect fit for OEM systems integrators.
Sequel demonstrates better accuracies and is equally adaptable through neonates to adults. It is also one of the lowest power consumption modules.
