PulseOximeter

A Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is a compact, non-invasive medical device that clips onto a finger to measure peripheral arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate in seconds. Utilizing light-based technology, it provides critical, real-time data on respiratory and circulatory status. Its portability and ease of use make it indispensable in hospitals (from ORs to general wards), for patients managing chronic lung conditions at home, and for situational monitoring in sports or high-altitude environments. While an extremely valuable screening tool, readings must be interpreted in context, considering factors like patient movement, perfusion, and clinical symptoms.
