Much of the clinical data available in the literature comes from early prototype systems that have not been calibrated and may contain data biased by artifact. Nonetheless, several studies show significant correlation between FSpO2 readings and blood gas values obtained from scalp samples or cord blood.25-29 The prospective multicenter human observational study con-ducted in Germany further demonstrated that an FSpO2 of greater than 30% was predictive of a scalp pH of greater than 7.20.
