PULSE OXYMETER

Pulse oximetry facilitates patient care management by providing an approximation of arterial hemoglobin saturation with oxygen and allows for the possibility of early detection of the catastrophic events associated with patient hypoxemia.

Although pulse oximeters may not function effectively during cardiopulmonary bypass or at extreme low flow states and are not at present intended as a means for the mesureament of blood flow or blood volume, pulse oximetry is nevertheless a current and common practice in many areas of medicine.

Our pulse oximeter is a very compact and hand held instrument for the measurement of the saturation percentage of oxygen in the tissues (SpO2). The saturation percentage of oxygen is given by the ratio between the oxygenated hemoglobin concentration and the sum of the oxygenated and de-oxygenated hemoglobin concentration.

The measurement is taken exploiting the pulsating effect of the blood either in peripheral arteries or on the fingertips of the hand and/or ear lobe, through the use of special optical sensors.

The instrument enables acquisition, visualisation and registration of the SpO2 and of the heart rate (HR) in a 24-hour period.

Its main features are: LCD graphic display with SpO2 - H.R. - pulse frequency - battery capacity indicators - visible and sound settable allarms for high/low SpO2 and H.R. values - graphic trends capability - Data storage up to 24 hours - Compatible with most common commercial probes - Battery operated or via AC adapter - Standard RS232 serial interface for data downloading and remote control - Optional memory card management interface for data storage - Optional serial printer interface - Optional application s.w for pc.
