PalmSAT 2500 Handheld Oximetry Built Around Small Patients
Pediatric and neonatal measurement is where handheld oximeters usually struggle, and this series was engineered around those patients first. PureSAT processing with a low perfusion filter pulls a reliable signal from tiny digits and weak pulses, even while the patient moves. Smart Averaging adjusts the averaging window automatically, settling on a dependable value in as little as three seconds in fast paced settings. True Pulse Detection works to locate the real pulse through motion, which cuts the false readings and repeat attempts that slow down a clinic. The same platform scales up to adult care through the full PureLight sensor range, so one handheld covers the whole practice. An optional charger stand and NiMH battery pack suit departments that prefer rechargeable power over disposable cells.
