Pulse Oximeter Accuracy in Healthy Humans During Hypoxia

The aim of this project is to test the accuracy of pulse oximeters during mild, moderate and severe hypoxia. This is done by comparing the reading of the pulse oximeter during brief, steady state hypoxia with a gold-standard measurement of blood oxygen. This study will be done on healthy male or females between the age group of 18-50.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The subject is male or female, aged ≥18 and \35). 2. The subject has a known history of heart disease, lung disease, kidney or liver disease. 3. Diagnosis of asthma, sleep apnea, or use of CPAP. 4. Subject has diabetes. 5. Subject has a clotting disorder. 6.

The subject has any other serious systemic illness. 8. The subject is a current smoker. 9. Any injury, deformity, or abnormality at the sensor sites that in the opinion of the investigators' would interfere with the sensors working correctly. 10. The subject has a history of fainting or vasovagal response. 11. The subject has a history of sensitivity to local anesthesia. 12. The subject has a diagnosis of Raynaud's disease. 13.
