Nasal Alar Multi-Compatible SpO₂ Sensor - Case of 24
Pulse oximetry supplies
The single patient use Nasal Alar Multi-Compatible SpO₂ Sensor* measures arterial oxygen saturation at the ala, which is an optimal measurement site for difficult-to-measure patients. It produces a strong, consistent signal, even in patients with poor perfusion¹. Designed for comfort and durability, the sensor is non-adhesive and can be used for up to seven days.
Features
Customer story: real-world experience
Conventional pulse oximeters are placed on the finger, but for patients with poor perfusion the Philips Nasal Alar SpO2 sensor offers an exciting and practical alternative. Watch this video to hear Dr. Lieven Vergote and Mr. Kristoff Colman from the A.S.Z. Hospital in Aalst, Belgium, share their real-world experience of the Alar sensor and explain some of the benefits of this solution.
Reliable and comfortable
When compared to forehead sensors, the Nasal Alar SpO₂ Sensor showed lower occurrence of pressure injuries over a period of 5 days of sensor use.³ The alar sensor doesn’t require headbands or adhesive, exposing the patient to minimal heat and pressure, and allowing patients' hands to be sensor-free.
The nasal ala provides reliable measurement
The nasal alar consistently maintains a good blood supply from the internal and external carotid arteries, producing a strong, steady signal and is less prone to vasal constriction than the extremities. It provides reliable results even during critical states of low perfusion and blood flow centralization.

- The Philips Nasal Alar FAST SpO2 Sensor ensures dependable monitoring of oxygen saturation at the nasal ala, where a robust blood supply from the carotid arteries is maintained. This location generates a strong, consistent signal and is less susceptible to vascular constriction compared to extremities,¹ providing accurate and reliable signals, even in challenging conditions involving low perfusion and centralization of blood flow.² Designed for comfort and durability, the sensor is non-adhesive and can be used on one patient for up to seven days across multiple care areas.
