Confirm a sensor
Give us the monitor model and the application. We check it against Nonin's current compatibility guidance and come back to you.
Nonin Medical
Sensors & compatibility.
Sixteen Nonin sensor families. Which one you need depends on the patient, the site, how long it stays on, and the monitor it plugs into — in roughly that order.
Compatibility comes from Nonin, not from us
Which sensor fits which monitor is a manufacturer statement, not something a representative should reconstruct from photographs and part numbers. Nonin publishes a current Sensor Compatibility Guide, and that document is the authority.
It is below, in full. Tell us the monitor and the application and we will confirm the sensor against it — that is a same-day answer, and it is right.
Reusable sensors
Cleaned and re-applied between patients. Higher unit cost, lowest cost per reading, and the usual choice for a clinic or a monitor that stays in one place.

Single-use sensors
One patient, then discarded. Chosen for infection control, for continuous wear, and where a sensor has to stay put rather than be re-sited.

Regional and cerebral sensors
For the SenSmart tissue oximetry systems, not for pulse oximeters. Placement is part of the clinical technique here, which is why training matters more than specification.

Getting the selection right
Sensor training
Placement and application training for your team, particularly for forehead, ear-clip and regional sensors where technique changes the reading.
Why Nonin sensors
Nonin's own note on using Nonin sensors with Nonin oximeters, and what accuracy depends on. Useful when a customer asks about a cheaper third-party sensor.
