Product Overview
The Nonin PalmSAT 2500 is a compact, handheld pulse oximeter designed for precise blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate monitoring. Trusted by healthcare professionals in hospitals, EMS, and field settings, this U.S. Military-certified device delivers reliable performance. Weighing only 7.4 oz with an 80-hour battery life, it’s ideal for portable use across neonates, infants, and adults.
Equipped with Nonin’s PureLight® sensors and PureSAT® signal processing, the PalmSAT 2500 ensures accurate readings in low perfusion or motion conditions. Its tricolor LED display provides pulse quality feedback, and 72-hour data storage supports trend analysis via nVISION software. Made in the USA, it’s identical to the Respironics 920M but more cost-effective.
