Cerebral oximeter sensor, single-use

Cerebral oximeter sensors are single-use, externally applied devices that measure brain tissue oxygenation through the scalp using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Clinically, they help monitor cerebral oxygen saturation—particularly venous oxygen levels—in patients at risk of hypoxia, such as those in ICU or undergoing neurosurgery.

These sensors are typically classified as medical devices and regulated according to local healthcare authorities, with compliance requirements varying by jurisdiction. They are supplied as disposable, adhesive-based strips connected to a cerebral oximeter via a fiberoptic cable, ensuring sterile, one-time use per patient.
