Predictive Value of NMU-PO

NMU-PO MU-PO
Totals Predictive Vaue, % 95% CI, %
Hypoxemia Present, n (Classification) Hypoxemia Absent, n (Classification)
SpO2 <90% 12 (true positive) 24 (false positive) 36 33a 24-44
SpO2 ≥90% 3 (false negative) 630 (true negative) 633 99b 98-100
Totals 15 654 699

Note: Hypoxemia present is defined as SpO2 <90% and hypoxemia absent is defined as SpO2 ≥90%.

MU-PO = medical use pulse oximeters; NMU-PO = nonmedical use pulse oximeters; SpO2 = oxygen saturation.

a

Positive predictive value.

b

Negative predictive value.
