Description:

The Nihon-Kohden SVM-7100 Series is a vital signs monitor. Medaval has not found evidence proving the accuracy of its blood pressure measurement technology and information regarding the accuracy of its oxygen saturation measurement technology does not appear to be available. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the upper arm and oxygen saturation measurements are taken from the finger. It is intended for bedside patient monitoring.

Assessment:

There appears to be no peer-reviewed clinical validation information available on the technology used in the Nihon-Kohden SVM-7100 Series either to measure blood pressure or to measure peripheral oxygen saturation.
