Features : * Disposable pulse oximetry sensors have historically offered the best performance, greatest ease of use, and most comfort, but do generate waste.
* Reprocessing sensors may appear to lower the per sensor price, but third-party reprocessed sensors do not offer the same performance or quality as new sensors and are labor intensive.
* In addition, reprocessing itself requires additional manufacturing and transport, which negatively impacts the environment.
* Reusable sensors may offer low environmental impact, but do not offer the same performance, comfort, or reduction of cross-contamination risk as disposable sensors.
