More Info:
Pulse oximetry is a procedure used to measure the oxygen level (or oxygen saturation) in the blood. It is considered to be a noninvasive, painless, general indicator of oxygen delivery to the peripheral tissues, in this case, the finger.
SpO2 stands for Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation. It is an estimation of the oxygen saturation level. Oxygen saturation is a term referring to the concentration of oxygen in the blood. It measures the percentage of hemoglobin binding sites in the bloodstream occupied by oxygen.
- Measurement Range: 35%-100%
- Resolution: 1%
- Accuracy: 70%-100%, +/-2%; 35%-69% no definition
The pulse is how many times a minute that our arteries expand and contract in response to the heart.
Pulse Rate:
- Measurement Range: 25-250 BPM
- Resolution: 1bpm
- Accuracy: +/-2bpm
- Pulse Intensity: Bargraph Indicator
Power Requirements:
Two AAA alkaline Batteries (included)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Finger Pulse Oximeter, and how does it work?
A Finger Pulse Oximeter is a non-invasive device that measures the oxygen saturation level (SpO₂) in your blood and your pulse rate. It operates by emitting light through your fingertip and measuring the amount of light absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin, providing quick and accurate readings.
What are the key features of this Finger Pulse Oximeter?
- CE & FDA Approved: Ensures compliance with international health and safety standards.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for medical settings, home use, and sports clubs.
- Accurate Measurements: Quickly measures SpO₂ and pulse rate, displaying results on a color OLED screen.
- User-Friendly Design: Features a one-button operation and automatic shut-off to conserve battery life.
- Additional Functions: Includes pulse sound, alarm function, and perfusion index display.
How do I use the Finger Pulse Oximeter correctly?
- Insert Batteries: Place two AAA batteries into the compartment, ensuring correct polarity.
- Position Finger: Insert your finger fully into the rubber hole of the oximeter, ensuring the nail surface is facing upward.
- Activate Device: Press the power button once; the device will begin measuring.
- Remain Still: Keep your finger and body steady during measurement for accurate results.
- Read Results: View your SpO₂ and pulse rate on the display screen.
What do the SpO₂ and pulse rate readings indicate?
- SpO₂ (Peripheral Capillary Oxygen Saturation): Represents the percentage of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin in the blood. Normal levels typically range from 95% to 100%.
- Pulse Rate: Indicates the number of heartbeats per minute. A normal resting pulse rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute.
What is the significance of the waveform and bargraph display?
The waveform (plethysmograph) provides a visual representation of your heartbeat, helping to assess the regularity and strength of your pulse. The bargraph indicates pulse intensity, offering additional insight into your cardiovascular health.
How does the automatic shut-off feature benefit users?
The automatic shut-off function conserves battery life by turning off the device when no signal is detected, ensuring the oximeter is ready for use when needed and reducing the frequency of battery replacements.
Is the Finger Pulse Oximeter suitable for all age groups?
Yes, this oximeter is designed for a wide range of users, including children and adults. However, ensure the finger size is appropriate for the device to obtain accurate readings.
Can I use the Finger Pulse Oximeter during physical activities?
Yes, the oximeter is suitable for use during sports and physical activities to monitor oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Ensure you remain as still as possible during measurement to obtain accurate readings.
What should I do if I receive an abnormal reading?
If you receive an abnormal SpO₂ or pulse rate reading, ensure your finger is properly positioned, and you are not moving during measurement. If readings remain abnormal, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
How do I maintain and clean the Finger Pulse Oximeter?
Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging it in water. Store the oximeter in a dry place and remove batteries if not in use for extended periods.
