What Is the Masimo Compatible SpO2 Adapter Cable LNCS>Nellcor?

The SA-005RB-03 is a compatible aftermarket SpO2 adapter cable that bridges two of the most common pulse oximetry ecosystems in the hospital: it allows Nellcor-style SpO2 sensors to be used on monitors and pulse oximeters running Masimo LNCS technology. For facilities operating a mixed fleet of pulse oximeters, this short 1 ft (0.3 m) adapter makes it possible to standardize on a single sensor inventory rather than stocking separate sensors for every monitor brand on the floor. It is offered as a compatible replacement designed to match the fit and function of the equivalent OEM adapter; it is not an OEM Masimo product, and IPR Medical is not affiliated with Masimo, Nellcor, or any original equipment manufacturer.

Compatible Monitor Models

This adapter cable is used with Masimo pulse oximeters including the Rad 5, Rad-8, Rad 57, Rad 87, Radical-7, and Pronto 7, along with a wide range of multi-parameter monitors and defibrillators built on Masimo SpO2 technology. Supported equipment includes GE Healthcare Dash, Solar, TRAM, and Carescape series monitors, Mindray Passport, Accutorr, BeneView, and PM series monitors, Physio-Control Lifepak 11, 12, 15, 20, and 20E defibrillators, Zoll E, M, R, and X Series units, and Welch Allyn Propaq and Spot Vital Signs devices, as well as select models from Drager, Comen, Bitmos, Invivo, Mennen Medical, Philips, Spacelabs, Respironics, and Venni. The complete model-by-model compatibility list appears in the Specifications tab; if your monitor is not shown, contact IPR Medical before ordering and we will confirm fitment for your equipment.

Design and Construction

This adapter is built as a short, durable interconnect for daily clinical use. The gray cable jacket measures 0.16 inches (4 mm) in diameter and runs 1 ft (0.3 m) end to end, keeping the adapter compact at the bedside without adding slack to the sensor line. The instrument side terminates in a triple-keyed 9-pin D-sub male connector in the LNCS style, while the sensor side carries a 9-pin D-sub female connector that accepts Nellcor-style sensor plugs. The assembly is latex-free, supplied non-sterile, and rated for reusable service, and the design is manufactured to FDA, CE, and CFDA requirements with ISO 80601-2-61 and RoHS compliance.

When to Replace Your SpO2 Adapter Cable

Adapter cables sit at the highest-wear point of the SpO2 chain, connected and disconnected many times a day as sensors are swapped between patients. Replace the adapter when you see intermittent or dropped SpO2 readings, repeated sensor-not-detected or sensor-off messages that clear when the adapter is swapped, visible damage such as a cracked connector housing, bent or corroded pins, or a kinked and stiffened cable jacket, or when readings only hold while the cable is held at a certain angle. Because a failing adapter can mimic a failing sensor, many biomedical departments keep spare adapters on the shelf to isolate faults quickly and keep monitors in service.

Cross Reference and Interchange Part Numbers

The SA-005RB-03 cross-references directly to a number of interchange part numbers used across the industry for the same LNCS-to-Nellcor adapter, including 360Biomedical 360Bio-4849, Argo Biomedical ARSA-005RB-03, Cables and Sensors 10248, Gopher GMSA-005RB-03, MARS MARS-MAS-NCSNEL, Medicable MCSA005RB03, PartsSource HW-HEMO-00014, and Revanix RVBSA005RB031. If your purchasing system or equipment records reference any of these part numbers, this adapter cable serves as the matching compatible replacement. The full cross-reference table is available in the Specifications tab for quick lookup.
