Table top pulse oximeter: Pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the oxygen level (oxygen saturation) of the blood. It’s an easy, painless measure of how well oxygen is being sent to parts of your body furthest from your heart, such as the arms and legs. A clip-like device called a probe is placed on a body part, such as a finger or ear lobe.
Technology is used in a pulse oximeter: The oximeter utilizes an electronic processor and a pair of small light-emitting diodes (LEDs) facing a photodiode through a translucent part of the patient’s body, usually a fingertip or an earlobe. One LED is red, with wavelength of 660 nm, and the other is infrared with a wavelength of 940 nm.
A pulse oximeter reading indicates what percentage of your blood is saturated, known as the SpO2 level. A typical, healthy reading is 95–100% . If your SpO2 level is less than 92%, a doctor may recommend you get an ABG.
In Hospital doctor will use pulse oximetry whenever they think that your blood oxygen levels could be too low. The Table top pulse oximeter is device which can help to Diagnose symptoms like shortness of breath. Track your blood oxygen level during surgery in the operation theatre (O.T.).
- monitoring oxygen saturation over time.
- alerting to dangerously low oxygen levels, particularly in newborns.
- offering peace of mind to people with chronic respiratory or cardiovascular conditions.
- assessing the need for supplemental oxygen.
