Product Overview
The Masimo 2256 Direct-Connect SpO2 Sensor is a pediatric clip sensor designed for accurate oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate monitoring in pediatric patients weighing 10–50 kg. Featuring Masimo’s industry-leading SET® Measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ technology, it delivers reliable readings even in challenging conditions like patient motion or low blood flow.
Compatible with Masimo SET® pulse oximeters (Rad-57), the 2256 sensor uses a 3-foot direct-connect cable for seamless integration. Its durable, lightweight design ensures patient comfort and long-term reliability in hospitals, clinics, and EMS settings. Trusted by 9 of the top 10 U.S. hospitals, Masimo SET® technology reduces false alarms and ensures precise data across diverse patient populations. FDA-cleared and CE-marked, the 2256 is ideal for pediatric monitoring.
Key Features
- High Accuracy: Masimo SET® technology ensures ±2% SpO2 accuracy (no motion) and ±3% (motion/low perfusion) for pediatric patients.
- Pediatric Design: Clip sensor optimized for patients weighing 10–50 kg (22–110 lbs).
- Durable Construction: 3-foot direct-connect cable with robust, Kevlar-reinforced design for EMS and hospital use.
- Patient Comfort: Lightweight, non-invasive clip with soft padding for prolonged pediatric use.
- Wide Compatibility: Works with Masimo SET® oximeters (e.g., Rad-57, Rad-G, Root Platform) and select third-party devices.
- Motion Tolerance: SET® technology filters noise from motion and low perfusion, reducing false alarms. [](https://www.turnermedical.com/Masimo-oximeter-sensors-s/110.htm)
- Low Signal I.Q.® (SIQ): Indicates low measurement confidence for reliable data interpretation.
- FastSat® Technology: Tracks rapid changes in arterial oxygen saturation with high fidelity.
- Environmentally Robust: Operates in 10–95% noncondensing humidity and -10 to +50°C temperatures.
- Warranty: 6-month manufacturer warranty.
