Oxygen sensor study halted early – what it means for patient monitoring
NCT ID NCT07215429
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested how accurately Philips SpO2 sensors measure blood oxygen levels in 24 healthy adults aged 18-50. The sensors were compared to standard lab tests during rest. The study was terminated early, so the full results are not available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help improve the accuracy of oxygen monitoring devices used in hospitals.
- What could go wrong
- The study was terminated early with only 24 participants, so results are limited and may not apply to real-world use.

Who is studied
minimum of 66 participants up to a maximum of 180, healthy male and female volunteers of any race, ranging in pigmentation from light to dark. he study population will meet the following stratification criteria: * At least 25% of the population with Monk 1-3 with ITA \> 30 at the forehead * At least 25% of the population with Monk 4-7 with ITA ≤ 30 and ≥ -30 at the forehead * At least 25% of the population with Monk 8-10 with ITA \< -30 at the forehead * At least half of the participants in this group will have an ITA \< -50 at the forehead * In the event the Monk and ITA place a participant in different cohorts, the ITA shall be used to determine the demographic cohort for the participant * At least 40% of the population male * At least 40% of the population female

INCLUSION CRITERIA Participants accepted in this study must meet all the following criteria: * Participant must have the ability to understand and provide written informed consent. * Participant is an adult between 18-50 years of age. * Participant must be willing and able to comply with study procedures and duration. * Participant is a non-smoker or who has not smoked within 2 days prior to the study. EXCLUSION CRITERIA * Participant is considered as being morbidly obese (defined as BMI \>39.5) * Compromised circulation (i.e., Raynaud's Syndrome), injury, open wound, or physical malformation of fingers, toes, hands, ears or forehead/skull or other sensor sites which would limit the ability to test sites needed for the study. Tattoos in the optical path which would limit the ability to test sites needed for the study. (Note: Certain malformations may still allow participants to participate if the condition is noted and would not affect the sites utilized.) * Females who are pregnant * Females who are trying to get pregnant (with confirmation of positive urine pregnancy test unless the participant is known to be not of child-bearing potential) * Participants who have smoked in the last 2 days or participants who have refrained, for at least 48 hours, with COHb levels \>3% as assessed with a Masimo Radical 7 (Rainbow) * Participants with known respiratory conditions such as: (self-reported) * uncontrolled / severe asthma, * flu, * pneumonia / bronchitis, * shortness of breath / respiratory distress, * unresolved respiratory or lung surgery, * emphysema, COPD, lung disease * Recent COVID with or without hospitalization (last 2 months) * Participants with self-reported heart or cardiovascular conditions such as: (self-reported, except for blood pressure and ECG review) * high blood pressure: systolic \>140 mmHg or diastolic \>90 mmHg on 3 consecutive readings (reviewed during health screen) * have had cardiovascular surgery, except successful minor surgery without clinical symptoms (i.e., PFO, PDA) * chest pain (angina) * heart rhythms other than a normal sinus rhythm or with respiratory sinus arrhythmia (reviewed during health screen) * previous heart attack * blocked artery * unexplained shortness of breath * congestive heart failure (CHF) * history of stroke * transient ischemic attack * carotid artery disease * myocardial ischemia * myocardial infarction * cardiomyopathy * implantable active medical device such as pacemaker or automatic defibrillator * Self-reported health conditions as identified in the Health Assessment Form * diabetes, * uncontrolled thyroid disease, * kidney disease / chronic renal impairment, * history of seizures (except childhood febrile seizures), * epilepsy, * history of unexplained syncope, * recent history of frequent migraine headaches, * recent symptomatic head injury (within the last 2 months), * Cancer requiring chemotherapy, radiation, or current treatment. * Participants with known clotting disorders (self-reported) * history of bleeding disorders or personal history of prolonged bleeding from injury * history of blood clots * hemophilia * current use of blood thinner: prescription or daily use of aspirin * Sickle Cell Trait or Disease * Participants with severe contact allergies to standard adhesives, latex, silicone or other materials found in pulse oximetry sensors, ECG electrodes, respiration monitor electrodes or other medical sensors (self-reported) * Participants with severe allergies to iodine (only applicable if iodine is used) * Participants with severe allergies to lidocaine (or similar pharmacological agents, e.g. Novocaine), * Failure of the Perfusion Index Ulnar/Ulnar+Radial Ratio test (Ratio \<0.4) * Unwillingness or inability to remove nail polish or artificial nails from test digits. * Participant received intravascular dye within the past 48 hours (e.g. Indocyanine green, methylene blue, dyes used in cardiac output monitoring) * Surgical hardware in pathway of Device Under Test * Other known health conditions should be considered upon disclosure in health assessment form. * Participants with uneven skin tone at the sensor site or at the forehead
