How It Works

Easy 1-2-3 Setup

From clip-on to clinical dashboard in seconds. Zero setup for patients.

01

Clip & Measure

Patient places the fingertip sensor. A single press begins continuous SpO2 and pulse rate measurement.

02

Transmit Automatically

Readings sync via Bluetooth to the Tenovi Gateway or directly over cellular. No smartphone or Wi-Fi required.

03

Alert & Intervene

Desaturation events trigger real-time alerts. Clinical staff review trends and act before hospitalization.

Live Dashboard Preview

Real-Time SpO2 Tracking

Every reading flows into the CCN Health platform instantly. Configurable thresholds flag desaturation events for COPD exacerbations, post-op complications, and nocturnal hypoxemia.

  • SpO2 percentage + pulse rate in every reading
  • Plethysmograph waveform quality indicator
  • Configurable desaturation alerts (<90%, <92%, custom)
  • Overnight trend tracking for sleep-disordered breathing

Device Options

Supported Pulse Oximeters

Validated fingertip sensors matched to your patient population and clinical workflow.

01

Tenovi Bluetooth Oximeter

Pairs with the Tenovi Gateway for fully automatic cellular data transmission. No smartphone or Wi-Fi needed.

02

Jumper JPD-500G

Bluetooth fingertip oximeter with OLED display, 10-hour memory, and adjustable brightness for bedside use.

03

SmartMeter iOximeter

Standalone cellular pulse oximeter with built-in SIM — readings transmit directly without any companion device.

04

Masimo MightySat

Clinical-grade accuracy with Perfusion Index and Pleth Variability Index for advanced respiratory monitoring.

Clinical Applications

Common conditions managed with remote pulse oximetry.

01

COPD Monitoring

Track daily SpO2 trends to detect exacerbations early. Alert clinicians when oxygen saturation drops below personalized thresholds.

02

Post-Surgical Recovery

Monitor respiratory status after anesthesia and surgery. Identify complications like pulmonary embolism or atelectasis before symptoms escalate.

03

CHF with Pulmonary Edema

Correlate SpO2 trends with weight and blood pressure data to detect fluid overload and decompensation episodes early.

04

Sleep Apnea Screening

Overnight SpO2 tracking reveals nocturnal desaturation patterns. Identify patients who may benefit from CPAP or further evaluation.

Clinical Reference

SpO2 Threshold Guidelines

Configure per-patient alert thresholds based on baseline condition and clinical context.

95-100

Normal

95-100%

Healthy oxygen saturation. No intervention needed.

90-94

Mild Hypoxemia

90-94%

Monitor closely. May indicate early COPD exacerbation or developing pneumonia.

85-89

Moderate Hypoxemia

85-89%

Urgent clinical review. Supplemental O2 likely required.

<85

Severe Hypoxemia

<85%

Emergency intervention. Risk of organ damage and respiratory failure.

COPD Patients

Baseline SpO2 is often 88-92%. Alert thresholds should be set at 88% rather than 94% to avoid alarm fatigue while still catching meaningful desaturation.

Post-Operative Patients

Standard 94% threshold applies. Monitor for progressive desaturation over hours — a slow decline from 96% to 92% is more concerning than a single dip to 93%.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about pulse oximetry monitoring for RPM programs.

CCN Health supports FDA-cleared finger-clip pulse oximeters that measure SpO2 and pulse rate. Devices transmit readings via cellular or Bluetooth connectivity to the CCN Health platform automatically.

COPD (J44.x), asthma (J45.x), heart failure (I50.x), sleep apnea (G47.33), pulmonary fibrosis (J84.x), and post-COVID respiratory monitoring qualify. Any condition requiring ongoing oxygen saturation monitoring may be eligible.

Readings flow automatically into the CCN Health dashboard. Configurable alerts notify staff when SpO2 drops below clinical thresholds (typically <92% for COPD, <95% for general populations). Data syncs to the connected EHR.

Yes. A single patient can be monitored with multiple device types (BP + SpO2 + weight) and all readings count toward the 16-day CPT 99454 requirement. This stacks the clinical value while using the same billing framework.

All CCN Health pulse oximeters are FDA-cleared with ±2% SpO2 accuracy in the 70-100% range and ±2 bpm pulse rate accuracy. Devices meet ISO 80601-2-61 standards for pulse oximeter performance.
