About this trial

The purpose of this study is to compare oxygen saturation measurement readings from manufactured pulse oximetry devices to the oxygen saturation measurements of arterial blood samples drawn at the same time of measurements.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Healthy adult men and women of all races and ethnic backgrounds recruited from faculty and staff of the Mayo Medical Center and from Rochester, MN and surrounding communities.

Equal number of male and female participants to address potential sex differences in physiology.

We will intentionally recruit subjects with dark skin because of the issues surrounding accuracy of pulse oximetry and skin tone.

Non-smokers

Disqualifiers

At least 8 of the subjects will have Fitzpatrick Skin Type of IV to VI.
