Retail Pulse Oximeters

SpO2 stands for peripheral capillary oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation is defined as the ratio of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) to the total concentration of hemoglobin (i.e. Oxyhemoglobin + reduced hemoglobin) present in the blood. It is an important physiological parameter involved in respiration and circulation.

The Pulse Oximeter feature herein is small, portable, non-invasive and easy to use. The user only needs to insert a finger into the chamber to measure his/her SpO2 level and pulse rate. It has also been proven to be highly precise and reliable in clinical tests.

Oxygenated blood absorbs light preferentially at 905nm (near infrared light), whereas deoxygenated blood absorbs light preferentially at 660nm (red light). A pulse oximeter works by passing a beam of red and infrared light through a pulsating capillary bed and then measure the amount of red and infrared light emerging from the tissues via a sensor.
