fingertip pulse oximeter

Highlights

• The pulse oximeter can estimate the amount of oxygen in the blood without having to draw a blood sample.

Description

Fingertip pulse oximeter

• A pulse oximeter is a device that is usually placed on a fingertip. It uses light beams to estimate the oxygen saturation of the blood and the pulse rate. Oxygen saturation gives information about the amount of oxygen carried in the blood. The pulse oximeter can estimate the amount of oxygen in the blood without having to draw a blood sample.
• Clinically tested and proven consistent results.Receive blood SpO2, pulse rate and pulse strength results within 8 to 10 seconds on large digital red LED pulse oximeter display.
• Simple bar graph that displays your pulse oximeter SpO2, pulse rate and pulse strength results.
• Smart design allows for a range of finger sizes to fit into the pulse oximeter finger chamber designed with latex free silicone material.
• Light-weight and compact easy to handle and to carry with you for results at home or outdoors.Pulse Oximeter is for sport and aviation use only. This device is ideal for use during sports activities such as mountain climbing, running, biking, etc.

Directions For Use

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
• When placing the oximeter on your finger make sure your hand is warm, relaxed and held below the level of the heart.Remove any fingernail polish on that finger.
• Sit still and do not move the part of your body where the pulse oximeter is located.
• Wait a few seconds until the reading stops changing and displays one steady number.
• Write down your oxygen levels with the date and time of the reading so you can easily track changes and report these to your health care provider.

Warnings

• If monitoring oxygen levels at home, pay attention to other signs or symptoms of low oxygen levels, such as:
• Bluish coloring in the face, lips, or nails;
• Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or a cough that gets worse;
• Restlessness and discomfort;
• Chest pain or tightness; and
• Fast or racing pulse rate.
• Be aware that some patients with low oxygen levels may not show any or all of these symptoms. Only a health care provider can diagnose a medical condition such as hypoxia (low oxygen levels).
• If you are concerned about the pulse oximeter reading, or if your symptoms are serious or getting worse, contact a health care provider.

Precautions

• When taking pulse oximeter measurements, pay attention to whether the oxygen level is lower than earlier measurements or is decreasing over time. Changes or trends in measurements may be more meaningful than one single measurement.
• Do not rely only on a pulse oximeter to assess your health condition or oxygen level.
