Hand-Held Oximeter

A pulse oximeter is used for the noninvasive monitoring of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate by shining light through a finger or earlobe. Key uses include assessing overall circulation and oxygenation, monitoring respiratory conditions like asthma, COPD, or sleep apnea, checking oxygen levels before, during, and after surgery, evaluating lung medication effectiveness, and monitoring the oxygen levels of newborns.
