Nellcor-compatible SpO2 sensors — the OxiMax platform, covered properly
Nellcor compatibility is the deepest single-platform oximetry range in this catalogue, because Nellcor oximetry sits inside so many monitors: Covidien/Medtronic's own, and as the licensed oximetry module inside other brands' fleets. The compatible range (around fifty listed products) covers both sensor generations buyers must keep separate: OxiMax-type sensors (with the platform's digital memory in the sensor) and the pre-OxiMax pattern, plus the DOC-10 and DEC-8 cables that join them to their monitors.
The distinction is not pedantry. The platform's adapter cables (DOC-10 among them) cover specific sensor-and-monitor combinations within the Nellcor ecosystem; a standard sensor on an OxiMax monitor behaves differently again, and the exact combination for your fleet is confirmed before ordering. This page exists to make that three-way match — sensor generation, monitor generation, cable — explicit before money moves.
Compatible range
- Disposable sensors — adhesive adult/pediatric/neonatal (MAX-series patterns: MAX-A, MAX-I, MAX-N types)
- Reusable sensors — finger clip (7-pin patterns) and soft-tip, including D-YS-type multisite patterns
- Short sensors — for use with extension cables
- Adapter/extension cables — DOC-10 (OxiMax platform adapter) and DEC-8 (extension)
- Oximetry devices — Nellcor-platform pulse oximeters appear in the device range as a separate equipment line
Verifying a Nellcor match
State the monitor (or the module brand — many monitors carry Nellcor oximetry under another badge), whether the platform is OxiMax or earlier, and the sensor reference being replaced (MAX- and DS-series codes specify format and patient). With those three, sensor and cable are confirmed together — ordering them separately is how mismatches happen.

Questions & answers
What is the difference between OxiMax and standard Nellcor sensors?
OxiMax sensors carry a digital memory chip with the sensor's calibration and are used on OxiMax-platform monitors; earlier Nellcor platforms use the standard pattern. They are related but not freely interchangeable — specific combinations are covered by adapter cables such as DOC-10. Tell us your monitor generation.
Can I use these sensors on a non-Covidien monitor with Nellcor oximetry?
Yes — compatibility follows the oximetry platform, not the monitor badge. State the monitor model and module.
Are disposable MAX-type sensors boxed?
Yes — disposable adhesive sensors are supplied in boxes of 24.
