Nonin FlightStat Pulse Oximeter

When flying at high altitudes, hypoxia can impair your ability to read, reason, think, see and even talk. These cognitive functions are necessary to fly you and your passengers safely. Depending on your age, overall health condition, etc. — hypoxia can occur as low as 5,000 feet.

Check for in-flight hypoxia by monitoring your blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate with the Nonin FlightStat Pulse Oximeter. FlightStat is the only aviation-specific pulse oximeter available today and does not require a prescription!

The compact, self-contained unit slips onto your finger and within seconds displays reliable data. FlightStat provides 18 hours of measurement time (1600 — 40 second checks) and is powered by two AAA batteries.

Nonin FlightStat features:

• "Real time" physiological data
• Portability — easily fits in brief case/flight bag
• Easy operation — no time-consuming set-up required
• Bright display — easy to read even during night flying
• 3-color indicator to determine the quality of reading
• No calibration
• One year warranty

The FlightStat Pulse Oximeter emits red and infrared light through a finger and detects the fluctuating signals caused by the pulsating blood flow. Your pulse rate is determined from the signals received by a light detector. The ratio of the fluctuation of the red and infrared light signals is used to calculate your blood oxygen saturation (%SpO₂) of hemoglobin.

Two AAA-size batteries power the FlightStat for approximately 1,600 spot checks. When the batteries are low, the numeric displays flashes once per second. FlightStat will automatically shut off (to conserve battery life) approximately 10 seconds after a finger is removed. 

This unit's advanced digital circuitry requires no calibration or periodic maintenance other than battery replacement.

Includes: FlightStat unit, lanyard, carrying case, two AAA batteries, and operator's manual.

Size: 1.3 inch W x 1.3 inch H x 2.2 inch L (3.3 cm x 3.3 cm x 5.7 cm)
Weight: 2 ounces (60 grams) with batteries
Battery Life: Approximately 18 hours of continuous operation (or 1,600 spot checks calcuated at 40 seconds per spot check)

Previous Customer Questions For Nonin FlightStat Pulse Oximeter: Ask Your Own Question

On Thursday, December 28, 2006 a customer asked: Q: How does it work? A: Pulse oximetry is non-invasive process used to measure blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) by monitoring the percentage of hemoglobin (Hb), which is saturated with oxygen as well as measuring heart rate. There are two methods to measure pulse oximetry: by transmission through a body part or by reflection. In general, the transmission method can only be used on limited areas of the body, such as fingers, earlobes, etc. This oximeter uses a reflectance method whereby a very small sensor placed on the finger has the ability to measure oxygen saturation and heart pulse rate. Typical motion artifacts have been compensated for within the system algorithms.
