ABOUT PULSE OXIMETERS

This pulse oximeter uses Optimetrix™ technology, which utilizes revolutionary optical sensor technology to measure both blood oxygen saturation ( SpO2%) levels and pulse rate. By placing the finger into the sleeve and one-touch of a button, this device will send both red and infrared lights into the skin to collect data and display your blood oxygen and pulse rate.
