As a single-patient-use ear sensor that is placed securely in the cavum conchae (the deep hollow near the ear canal opening), the E1 allows clinicians to combine Masimo SET® performance with an alternative monitoring site.
Alternate monitoring site with easy access during surgery, resuscitation, in patients with finger deformities, or when digit access is not possible
Provides alternative to digit sensor when forehead site is unavailable, for example during brain function monitoring, cerebral oximetry monitoring, or neck stabilisation
Sensor design offers more secure placement on the cavum conchae than traditional clip-style ear lobe sensors
The ear site may provide oxygen saturation measurements that are less susceptible to changes in peripheral perfusion
