Description

Designed for use on the patient’s forehead, a site closer to the heart, the max-fast forehead sensor responds to changes in arterial oxygen saturation typically one to two minutes sooner than digit sensors for patients with weak pulses
Unlike ear sensors, which may cause pressure necrosis and are subject to vasoconstriction, the max-fast sensor maintains stronger signal integrity
Clinicians often have easier access to the forehead than to the hands, especially in the operating room
The max-fast sensor is more accurate than all other ear, nose and forehead sensors. it also has our industry-leading losat expanded accuracy range (60% to 100% spo2) when used with nellcor oximax pulse oximetry, for better management of patients with congenital heart disease
Effective for mechanically ventilated and supine patients
The Nellcor SpO2 forehead sensor detects hypoxic events 90 seconds faster

Frequently asked questions

Does this sensor provide faster readings than finger probes?

Yes. The Max-Fast Forehead Sensor is specifically engineered for rapid response. By monitoring at the forehead—a site anatomically closer to the heart—it can detect hypoxic events up to 90 seconds faster than standard peripheral (digit) pulse oximetry sensors.

Is this sensor suitable for patients with weak pulses?

Absolutely. This sensor is an excellent choice for patients with poor peripheral perfusion. Because it monitors the forehead rather than the fingers or toes, it provides a more reliable signal when distal pulses are weak or difficult to detect.

Can this be used for long-term monitoring?

This sensor is designed for single-patient use, making it ideal for maintaining hygiene and preventing cross-contamination in clinical settings like ICUs and operating rooms. It is highly effective for patients who are immobilized, supine, or mechanically ventilated.

Is it compatible with all pulse oximeters?

The Max-Fast sensor is specifically designed for integration with Nellcor OxiMax pulse oximetry technology. This combination ensures optimal performance and supports an expanded accuracy range of 60% to 100% SpO2.

Does the forehead placement cause patient discomfort?

The sensor is designed with patient comfort in mind. It uses a soft, wrap-around securing band that keeps the probe in place without the risks associated with finger or ear clips, such as pressure necrosis or discomfort caused by prolonged tight clamping.

What is the weight requirement for patients?

This specific adult configuration is intended for patients weighing more than 10 kg.

Is it easy to align the sensor correctly?

Yes. The included securing band features clear, high-contrast markings specifically designed to assist healthcare professionals with proper orientation and alignment during the application process.

How does this handle low oxygen saturation levels?

When used with Nellcor OxiMax monitoring systems, the sensor supports an expanded accuracy range for LoSat (low saturation) monitoring, covering 60% to 100% SpO2. This makes it a critical tool for managing patients with complex respiratory or cardiac conditions.

Is the probe durable enough for active clinical use?

The sensor is built for clinical environments. It features a robust, integrated cable and connector system paired with a reliable fabric securing band, ensuring consistent signal integrity throughout the duration of the patient’s monitoring needs.

Why choose a forehead sensor over a traditional one?

Choosing the forehead sensor offers three primary clinical advantages:

Speed: Faster detection of saturation changes.
Consistency: Avoids common peripheral issues like vasoconstriction.
Accessibility: Offers superior access for clinicians, especially when treating patients who are in a supine or immobilized position.
