We studied the ability of a new pulse oximeter to detect hyperoxemia in neonates. ⋯ The new pulse oximeter evaluated detected 89% of episodes of hyperoxemia with upper alarm limits set at 95% and 95% of episodes if upper limit was set at 94%. As previously reported, both individual device algorithms and upper alarm limits chosen determine ability of pulse oximeters to detect hyperoxemia.
