Physiological Monitoring with SpO₂ Sensors and Capnography
Physiological Monitoring with SpO₂ Sensors and Capnography: Participants will undergo noninvasive physiological monitoring with commercially available Philips SpO₂ sensors (adult finger sensor M1191T; pediatric finger glove M1192A; nasal alar sensors 989803205391; adult/pediatric ear sensor M1194A) connected to Philips MP5 or PM6300 patient monitors configured with standard FAST Pulse Oximetry technology. A LoFlo Sidestream etCO₂ sensor (M2741A) with an adult or pediatric oral/nasal cannula (989803206671 or 989803206681) will be used to collect reference capnography waveforms. All monitoring is observational, and no device output is used for clinical decision-making.
Study summary
This observational clinical investigation evaluates the performance of respiratory rate derived from the plethysmography waveform (Respiration from Pleth, RfP) using Philips FAST Pulse Oximetry technology. Adult and pediatric inpatients will undergo noninvasive monitoring using age- and weight-appropriate SpO₂ sensors and capnography, with capnography serving as the reference standard. The study assesses accuracy, mean bias, precision, and time to first valid respiratory-rate value across continuous and spot-check conditions. No device outputs are used for clinical decision-making, and all procedures occur during a single study visit.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Respiratory Rate Accuracy (ARMS) - Finger Sensors, Continuous Monitoring — During the 20-minute continuous monitoring period for the finger sensor. Accuracy Root Mean Square (ARMS) between respiratory rate derived from plethysmography using Philips FAST Pulse Oximetry technology and respiratory rate derived from clinician-annotated capnography waveforms.
Metric: ARMS (breaths per minute). Pass/Fail Criterion: ARMS ≤ 3 BPM per population (adult, pediatric).
