Product type
A handheld pulse oximeter is a medical device used to measure the oxygen saturation level in a person's blood as well as their pulse rate. It typically consists of a small clip-like device that attaches to a fingertip or earlobe, using light sensors to detect changes in light absorption in oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. These devices are often portable and battery-operated, making them convenient for both clinical and home use.
| Measurement range | SpO2: 70% to 100%, Pulse rate: 30 to 250 bpm |
| Accuracy | SpO2: ±2% (80-100%), Pulse rate: ±2 bpm |
| Display type | Digital LCD or LED |
| Power source | Battery-operated, typically AA or AAA |
| Weight | Approximately 50 to 100 grams |
When choosing a handheld pulse oximeter, consider the accuracy and measurement range, especially if it will be used for patients with specific health conditions. Look for devices that comply with relevant medical standards and certifications. Additionally, consider the display type for ease of reading, battery life, and portability.
