What Is the Compatible Masimo Red MNC SpO2 Adapter Cable?

The Masimo Red MNC compatible SpO2 adapter cable (IPR SKU SA-009RB-12) is an aftermarket replacement for Masimo 2641, a cable that allows Nellcor Oxismart-style SpO2 sensors to be used on monitors and defibrillators equipped with a 20-pin Masimo Red input. It is a compatible replacement, not an OEM Masimo product, built to match the fit, form, and function of the original. Facilities that stock Nellcor sensors can use this cable to run those sensors on Masimo SET-equipped devices, which simplifies sensor inventory across mixed fleets. At 3.9 ft (1.2 m), it is sized for transport, EMS, and point-of-care configurations where a shorter cable keeps the sensor line manageable.

Compatible Monitor Models

This compatible adapter cable works with the Physio-Control Lifepak 15 monitor/defibrillator and Masimo-equipped Zoll X Series units, both common in emergency and transport settings. It is also compatible with Masimo pulse oximeters and Pulse CO-Oximeters including the Radical-7, Radical (20-pin), Rad-5, Rad-5v, Rad-8, Rad-57, Rad-57c, Rad-57cm, Rad-57m, Rad-87, Rad-97, Rad-97 NIBP, Rad-97 with NomoLine Capnography, Pronto, Pronto-7, and Pronto with Next Generation SpHb, as well as the Comen K12 Pro. Confirm that your device is configured for Masimo SET oximetry with a 20-pin Red input before ordering.

Design and Construction

The cable terminates in a 20-pin Masimo Red monitor connector on one end and a Nellcor-style 9-pin sensor connector on the other, so Nellcor Oxismart-compatible sensors plug in directly at the patient end. The 3.9 ft (1.2 m) length keeps excess cable to a minimum on stretchers, crash carts, and portable monitors. The cable is reusable and supplied one per bag.

When to Replace Your Red MNC SpO2 Adapter Cable

Adapter cables used in emergency and transport environments see heavy handling, and the connector ends are typically the first point of failure. Replace the cable when you see intermittent “sensor off” or “no sensor” alarms that clear when the cable is moved, signal dropouts that persist after a new sensor is installed, cracked or loose connector housings, bent or recessed pins, or cuts and kinks in the jacket. If a known-good Nellcor sensor fails to read on a monitor that passes self-test, the adapter cable is the fastest item to rule out. Keeping a spare on each truck or cart minimizes downtime on critical monitoring.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

This compatible cable cross-references to Masimo 2641 (Red MNC), Physio-Control 11996-000365, and Zoll 8000-000460. All three numbers identify the 4 ft OEM Red MNC adapter cable distributed for Masimo, Lifepak 15, and Zoll applications. This listing is the 3.9 ft (1.2 m) compatible version.
