Background and Identification
The Oxicom 2100 is a whole blood oximeter manufactured by Waters Medical Systems. Pulse oximeters are non-invasive devices used to monitor a patient’s oxygen saturation. Waters Medical Systems is a medical device company that specifically focuses on producing technologies for the preservation of donor organs.
The Oxicom 2100 whole blood oximeter is designed for cardiac catheterization. The monitor measures the oxygen saturation of a 0.5-milliliter sample of whole blood. It provides blood oxygen saturation measurements in less than ten seconds. It measures the light absorption of the patient’s blood to measure functional oxygen saturation. The 2100 model is designed to eliminate user contact with blood and contaminated waste products. Blood samples are injected into a single-use, sealed, disposable cuvette.
Quality Control filters provided with the Oxicom 2100 model allow the user to calibrate the monitor. The filters include two precision glass filters and one translucent plastic filter. Waters Medical Systems recommends that users calibrate this monitor before use.
The pulse oximeter includes the name “Oxicom 2100” printed in the lower left-hand corner of the device’s front face. The blood oxygen saturation is presented as a percentage on digital displays on the monitor’s front panel.
