With the improvement of medical level, the technological level of medical equipment is also increasing, from the initial arterial measurement of blood oxygen saturation to the current pulse oximeter, and then to more and more different styles of the pulse oximeter, measuring various This kind of body index equipment can be seen everywhere in the market. This time, I will introduce the fingertip pulse oximeter and Co oximeter.
What is a fingertip pulse oximeter?
The fingertip pulse oximeter is a medical device that measures the blood oxygen saturation of a patient. Its reading accuracy is more accurate than arterial blood analysis, and it is a non-invasive test that can be measured repeatedly. This makes the fingertip pulse oximeter in Oxygen saturation measurement in clinical use brings significant value.
The most common is the transmissive fingertip pulse oximeter. The fingertip device of the fingertip pulse oximeter is placed on the thinner part of the patient’s body, usually fingertips and earlobes (the blood flow velocity of fingertips and earlobes is higher than that of other parts) or baby’s feet. The sensor will emit light of two wavelengths and transmit it to the detector through the body parts, and accurately measure the blood oxygen saturation reading through the change of different wavelengths.
What are the advantages of a fingertip pulse oximeter? The most intuitive is its size, which is very convenient for patients who often need to measure blood oxygen saturation. Moreover, in any environment, the readings measured by the fingertip pulse oximeter are relatively stable (the impact of the environment on the measurement readings).
