Portable Pulse Oximeters
Portable pulse oximeters are small, light-weight, and compact so that SpO2 measurements can be monitored anytime and anywhere (clinical environment, lab, or home). The pulse oximeter consists of a probe attached to the patient’s finger and linked to a computerized unit that displays SpO2 measurements. Some models feature spot-check or continuous monitoring, audible and visual alarms to ensure accurate extended screening, fully integrated or infrared linked printers, heart rate/blood flow measurements, and some have specific modes designed for sleep study.
