Products
Noninvasive cellular O2 patient monitor (bedside/clinical monitor)
A bedside patient monitor that noninvasively measures and displays real-time oxygen levels inside cells using optical spectroscopy and algorithmic interpretation to aid early detection of organ dysfunction.
Cell O2
A medical device using proprietary advanced algorithms and tailored optical spectroscopy technology to measure and detect low oxygen levels in cells to prevent organ failure, particularly targeting sepsis care.
Cell O2 technology
A pulse oximetry technology recognized by the FDA for significantly improving the accuracy of oxygen saturation measurements in patients with dark skin tones.
Opticyte VitalO2
A monitor designed to measure oxygen levels inside the body's cells, providing early warning signs of oxygen deficiency to help prevent organ failure, especially in sepsis patients.
Opticyte VitalO₂
A device that measures cellular oxygenation continuously and noninvasively to help hospitals monitor, diagnose, and treat critically ill patients, enabling early detection of sepsis, trauma, and respiratory failure.
