Description
A fingertip pulse oximeter is a compact medical device designed to measure the oxygen saturation level in your blood and your heart rate. Its compact size and simple design make it convenient for personal or professional use, providing quick and accurate readings without the need for invasive procedures.
Typically, a fingertip pulse oximeter consists of a small clip-like probe that is placed on the tip of your finger. Inside the probe, there are sensors that emit light wavelengths through your fingertip. These sensors then detect how much light is absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, allowing the device to calculate your oxygen saturation level, often expressed as a percentage. Additionally, the pulse oximeter measures your heart rate by analyzing the rhythmic changes in blood volume within your fingertip.
Most modern fingertip pulse oximeters feature a digital display screen that shows your oxygen saturation level and heart rate in real-time. Some models may also include additional features such as adjustable brightness, alarm settings for abnormal readings, and data storage capabilities for tracking trends over time.
