Nonin Medical, Inc Introduces New Tabletop Pulse Oximeter to Global Market

Minneapolis, MN – July 16, 2007 – Today Nonin Medical, Inc announced the worldwide introduction of Model 7500, a portable tabletop oximeter. The 7500 is positioned as a market leader with the integration of Nonin’s best accuracy and performance features from across all of its product lines. It is also offered at a competitive price.

The 7500 features Nonin’s proprietary PureSAT® oximetry technology. PureSAT’s fast pulse-by-pulse measurement of oxygen saturation and pulse rate is clinically tested and has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance and European CE Mark. The 7500 meets ISO 9919 requirements as well as accuracy with motion and low perfusion claims.

This simple to use device boasts a sleek design, long battery life and an amazingly quick battery re-charge rate. These features alone make the 7500 one that will rival its competitors. The 7500 works across many patient groups, from neonate to adult.

Rihab FitzGerald, Director of Marketing, says, "We are extremely proud to deliver this quality oximetry solution to the market. The 7500 is very easy-to-use and with Nonin’s PureSAT SpO2 and PureLight® technologies, the 7500 also works accurately across a range of skin tones where other oximeters have underperformed.1 We believe quality and value are needed for the best clinical assessments."

Nonin expects the 7500 to be widely accepted in acute care and other hospital settings. Its size and features also make it ideal for use in homecare environments.
