FAQ
What is Pulse Oximeter?
A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive device that indirectly monitors blood oxygen
saturation (SpO ) and pulse rate (heart rate). Pulse oximeters provide an easy
way of assessing your blood oxygen level and pulse rate.
What is SpO ?
SpO is also known as oxygen saturation. Oxygen saturation is a measure of
how much oxygen the blood is carrying as a percentage of the maximum it
could carry.
What kind of conditions may cause an inaccurate reading?
Cold hands, poor circulation, very weak pulse, movement, fingernail polish and
acrylic nails may cause inaccurate results.
