Pulse Oximeters
Pulse oximeters are devices that measure the oxygen level in your blood. They’re usually placed on your finger, and they work by beaming light into your skin and measuring how much oxygen is in your blood. Pulse oximeters are used in hospitals and clinics to check how well a person is breathing, and they’re also used by people with chronic lung conditions, such as COPD, at home. Pulse oximeters are painless and easy to use, and they can give you valuable information about your health. If you have a chronic lung condition, using a pulse oximeter can help you keep track of your oxygen levels and make sure that you’re getting enough oxygen. Pulse oximeters can also be helpful if you have a cold or the flu, because they can tell you if your oxygen levels are low. If your oxygen levels are low, it’s important to see a doctor right away. Pulse oximeters are small, portable, and relatively inexpensive, so they’re a great tool to have at home if you or someone in your family has a chronic lung condition.

Additional Information:
Usage Guidelines: Ensure that the pulse oximeter is properly calibrated and that your finger is clean and free from nail polish or any obstruction that could interfere with the sensor. Sit still during the measurement and avoid talking or moving excessively.
Interpretation of Results: A normal SpO2 reading is typically between 95% and 100%. Readings below 90% may indicate hypoxemia (low oxygen levels) and require medical attention. However, individual baseline levels may vary, so consult with a healthcare professional for personalized interpretation.
Maintenance: Clean the device regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions to prevent contamination. Replace batteries as needed and store the pulse oximeter in a clean, dry place when not in use.
Consultation: While pulse oximeters are valuable tools for monitoring oxygen levels, they should not replace professional medical advice. If you have concerns about your oxygen levels or health condition, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and guidance.
