Designed for Clinician Flexibility and Convenience
June 23, 2009 – Waukesha, WI – Smiths Medical announced today the launch of its new BCI® SPECTRO2™ Pulse Oximetry Portfolio. Designed for a variety of patient care settings, the portfolio features three models: the SPECTRO2™l 10, SPECTRO2™l 20, and SPECTRO2™l 30 Pulse Oximeters.
The SPECTRO2™ Pulse Oximetry Portfolio is built on a foundation of proprietary BCI® technology and delivers accurate, trustworthy readings across a full range of patient care settings – even during motion or low perfusion conditions:
- SPECTRO2™l 10 Pulse Oximeter is designed with the durability and dependability associated with the BCI® brand, and delivers reliable results in primary care environments at an affordable cost.

- SPECTRO2™l 30 Pulse Oximeter has all the benefits of the other two models, plus multiple operating modes with audible and visual alarms, and the availability of a nurse call system that alerts healthcare providers for potential clinical intervention to ensure patient safety.
With its unique features and optional accessories, this BCI® family of pulse oximetry devices facilitates improved patient care and clinical efficiency, while providing the flexibility and convenience required by today’s healthcare professionals.
