Summary

This trial tests whether the Respiree pulse oximeter, a device worn on the finger, accurately measures blood oxygen levels. Healthy adults will breathe air with reduced oxygen to create mild, moderate, and severe low-oxygen states, and the device's readings will be compared with a gold-standard blood test. The goal is to gather data for FDA approval of the device.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Respiree SpO2 pulse oximeter device
What this could lead to
If the device proves accurate, it could gain FDA approval for wider use in monitoring blood oxygen levels.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage accuracy test in healthy volunteers, not a real-world clinical study. Results may not reflect performance in patients with medical conditions.
