NIRO Near Infrared Oxygenation Monitor

Mesure de l'oxygénation musculaire par spectroscopie proche infrarouge.

General Description:

The NIRO is a tissue oxygenation monitor utilizing Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technology. It non-invasively measures real-time oxygen saturation of hemoglobin at the muscular or cerebral level. This tool is extensively used in exercise physiology, biomedical research, and clinical monitoring.

 

Technical Characteristics:

Measurement Principle: Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)

Measured Parameters:

  • Muscle Oxygenation (SmO₂)
  • Tissue Oxygen Saturation (StO₂)
  • Relative changes in oxygenation

Method: Non-invasive, utilizing sensors placed on the skin over the muscle or the brain

Depth of Analysis: 2 – 3 cm beneath the skin surface (depending on the anatomical site)

Display: Real-time digital screen

Connectivity: USB / Bluetooth (model dependent)

Power Supply: Rechargeable battery or AC mains (220 V)

Weight: 1 – 3 kg (main unit)

 

Applications:

  • Monitoring muscle oxygenation during exercise
  • Optimizing endurance training protocols
  • Research in physiology and biomechanics
  • Clinical monitoring in anesthesia and intensive care
  • Studies on hypoxia and localized muscle fatigue

 

Advantages:

  • Non-invasive and completely painless method
  • Continuous real-time measurement
  • Portable and highly adaptable to various environments (sports field, research lab, clinic)
  • Allows for the optimization of training load and recovery monitoring
