Tissue oximetry tailored to pediatric patients
Because other systems use only two, three, or four wavelengths of near infrared light (NIRS), patient differences in bilirubin and meconium concentrations can cloud the accuracy – and therefore the reliability – of oxygenation measures.
Only the ForeSight system incorporates a fifth wavelength of NIRS measuring at 685 nm to account for these patient differences and enable reliable StO2 measures from patient to patient.
Choose from three sensor models, all with design features intended to be compatible with every biocomposition, for use across all pediatric patient sizes. Each sensor offers a headwrap sensor without adhesive.
While some systems are only validated to SjvO2, the ForeSight system algorithms are calibrated and validated for both cerebral and somatic regions:
In addition to StO2 measurements, ForeSight sensor trends the relative change in total tissue hemoglobin (ΔctHb). The ΔctHb parameter gives you greater insights into potential causes of StO2 imbalances so that you can better understand and respond to desaturation events.
Every patient and their needs are different. The ForeSight Jr sensor was designed to accommodate each patient’s unique anatomy and physiology to deliver cerebral tissue oximetry and somatic values that you can depend on.
Ensuring the appropriate penetration depth for your pediatric patient’s size is important to achieving accurate, actionable oximetry readings.
The ForeSight system offers a variety of sensor sizes and two modes of penetration – 1.25 cm and 2 cm – so that you can ensure you’re measuring the appropriate penetration depth for your patient’s anatomy.
