What is a pulse oximeter and what does it do?
A pulse oximeter is a small, portable device that measures the level of oxygen in your blood. It consists of two sensors that are placed on your finger (or earlobe) and emit red and infrared light. The red light passes through your skin and the amount of oxygen in your blood affects how much of the light is absorbed. The infrared sensor measures how much-infrared light is absorbed and this information is used to calculate your blood oxygen level.
How to use a pulse oximeter?
To use a pulse oximeter, simply place the sensors on your finger (or earlobe) and wait for the reading. It’s important to keep still while the reading is being taken, as movement can affect the accuracy.
