Accuracy of Methemoglobin Measurement for Rainbow Universal Pulse Oximeter Sensor

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

In this study, the level of methemoglobin (HbMet) will be increased in a controlled manner by administering sodium nitrite intravenously in healthy volunteers. The accuracy of a noninvasive HbMet sensor will be assessed by comparison to blood measurements from a laboratory analyzer.
