Pulse oximeters

Pulse oximeters: what are they?

A pulse oximeter is medical equipment used for non-invasive analysis of blood oxygen levels. The device uses LEDs to collect data painlessly and displays the result on a screen. Advanced versions of the equipment collect additional indicators, such as the perfusion index or heart rate. Combined analysis simplifies the work of diagnostic doctors, reducing the time for patient examination and diagnosis.

You can buy a multifunctional pulse oximeter in Europe or the USA on our website. We offer only original products of European manufacture without intermediaries, ensuring current prices for premium medical equipment.

Applications of pulse oximeters

Healthy blood oxygen concentration ranges from 95% to 98%. This indicator can increase as a result of oxygen therapy, but an increase in oxyhemoglobin levels is not dangerous for humans. Pulse oximeters are used to detect cases when blood concentration drops; even a deviation of just 1% from the established norm indicates problems in the functioning of vital organs.

Today, pulse oximeters remain the most popular method for checking the level of oxyhemoglobin in capillary blood. Medical sensors collect data that help diagnose dangerous diseases and critical conditions such as:

• Hypertension;
• Tuberculosis;
• Heart failure;
• Respiratory failure, etc.

A pulse oximeter quickly determines if a patient needs hospitalization and identifies hidden symptoms of some specific diseases, including COVID-19 infection. Doctors use pulse oximeters for both systemic diagnosis and urgent decisions about therapy strategies.

Today, pulse oximeters are widely used not only by medical professionals but also by professionals in other fields who need to monitor blood oxygen levels. Intense physical activities, diving, industrial climbing – these are just a few areas where having access to an accurate and convenient diagnostic tool is essential for the team.

Due to their relatively low cost and ease of use, pulse oximeters are increasingly found in ordinary home first aid kits. Patients with chronic diseases use pulse oximeters for daily blood monitoring. In other cases, it is simply kept at home for emergencies. Doctors advise buying a pulse oximeter for home diagnostics: simple equipment that saves lives by helping to make timely decisions about calling a doctor.

How does a multifunctional pulse oximeter work?

Unlike other blood analysis methods, a pulse oximeter does not require breaking the skin. Information is collected using red and infrared light, which penetrates the skin and upper tissue levels at the fixation point – usually a finger. The degree of light permeability is recorded by a highly sensitive sensor, which accurately determines the percentages of reflection and absorption of LED light. Results are immediately displayed on the screen in understandable graphical indicators.

A multifunctional pulse oximeter also determines blood flow activity – the perfusion index, which helps understand if blood saturation with oxygen can be performed without risk to the body. Simultaneously, the pulse oximeter displays a plethysmogram, collects pulse data, and monitors sleep. The full set of additional functions depends on the model's class.

Advantages of pulse oximeters

For determining blood oxygen saturation levels, there is currently no device more reliable and comfortable to use than a pulse oximeter. It easily attaches to the finger – even when a person is unconscious – and does not require external power sources. The equipment is widely used in all diagnostic fields, including emergency examinations and daily personal monitoring.

Modern models have additional functions for checking the state of the circulatory system. Thus, you can buy a pulse oximeter for quickly conducting a range of analyses:

• Monitoring blood oxygen saturation percentage;
• Determining pulse rate;
• Checking the perfusion index with plethysmogram construction;
• Monitoring the body's condition during sleep phases.
