Context Explanation

Proposed smartphone colorimeter measures at a common anatomical site (ROI) for pulse oximetry. (IMAGE) About a week after the FDA convened its latest meeting to discuss strategies for reducing racial biases in widely available pulse oximetry technology, Masimo has released new study data suggesting ... Improving the accuracy of pulse oximeters, especially in patients with darker skin pigments, will be the focus at Friday's meeting of the FDA's Anesthesiology and Respiratory Therapy Devices Panel, ... STAT: Before making unbiased pulse oximeters, researchers need a better way to measure skin tone There’s a growing consensus among physicians and government regulators that pulse oximeters measure oxygen levels less accurately in patients with darker skin and need to be fixed.
