How does FSpO2 compare to laboratory hemoximeter SaO2 and calculated SaO2?

Data from the calibration studies (animals and infants/children) show good correlation between FSpO2 obtained with the system and measured laboratory hemoximeter values of SaO2 obtained from simultaneously drawn arterial blood samples. See Perinatal Reference Note Number 1 for further information. Calculated SaO2 values from blood gas analyses are unreliable; consequently, the correlation to FSpO2 is unreliable.
