What Is the Nihon Kohden Compatible Adult Finger Clip SpO2 Sensor?

The IPR Medical SS-046-AF30 is a compatible aftermarket (not OEM) adult finger clip SpO2 sensor for use with Nihon Kohden SpO2 technology. No single Nihon Kohden OEM part number is listed for it, so it is matched by the monitor models shown on the Specifications tab. It is a reusable hard shell sensor with a 9.8 ft (3.0 m) cable.

Compatible Monitor Models

Listed compatibility for this sensor covers select Nihon Kohden models, including the OPV-1500 and OPV-1500 Life Scope N, Life Scope N, the OLV 2700 and OLV-2700K, and the OLV 3100. Check the Compatible Monitor Models table on the Specifications tab to confirm your monitor before you order.

Design and Construction

The SS-046-AF30 uses a hard shell finger clip design sized for adults and is intended for use with Nihon Kohden SpO2 technology. Its cable is 9.8 ft (3.0 m) long, and each sensor is packaged one per bag. As a reusable sensor, it can be cleaned between patients per facility protocol and kept in service as long as it passes inspection.

When to Replace Your Adult Finger Clip SpO2 Sensor

Replace the sensor if the clip housing is cracked, if the clip no longer closes firmly, if the cable jacket is cut, cracked, or kinked, or if the connector has bent pins. Erratic SpO2 or pulse rate values, frequent sensor-off or no-signal alarms, and readings that change when the cable is moved are also signs of wear. Trying a known-good sensor on the same monitor is a fast way to confirm the fault.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

No Nihon Kohden OEM part number is displayed for this sensor. The interchange numbers that are available are listed in the Cross Reference / Interchange Part Numbers table on the Specifications tab.
