The accuracy of Nellcor pulse oximeters is generally high, with most models providing SpO2 readings within ±2% to ±3% of arterial blood gas values in ideal conditions. However, accuracy can be affected by factors such as poor circulation, motion, ambient light, and skin pigmentation. It's important to follow manufacturer guidelines and ensure proper sensor placement for optimal performance.
