About the INVOS(R) Cerebral / Somatic Oximeter
The INVOS(R) Cerebral / Somatic Oximeter System is an FDA-cleared cerebral / somatic oximeter that directly and noninvasively measures blood oxygenation changes in regional brain or skeletal muscle tissue. Applicable to adult and pediatric patients, the INVOS System uses visible and near infrared spectroscopy to generate an index of the "regional saturation of oxygen," or rSO2, of the area under the sensor. This rSO2 index data, whether cerebral or somatic, often helps medical professionals detect and correct evolving ischemic problems in surgical or critical care settings, which can improve patient outcomes and reduce the associated cost of care. The current INVOS System technology platform has a nine-year track record among customers and more than 300 clinical documents demonstrating its clinical value.
