Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitor: 3 Types




The amount of blood oxygen in peripheral blood stream is one of the

most important vital signs.




Blood oxygen saturation monitor measures peripheral blood oxygen saturation in folks who are experiencing large fluctuations in blood

oxygen, such as lung cancer patients.




When a blood oxygen saturation level measurement is requested, blood oxygen saturation monitor sends out the alert towards the

SpO2 probe positioned on the patients finger tip, or on his ear lobe, to

start the red and infrared light pulse sequence.




Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitors, 3 Types




Integrated Vital Sign Monitors




Integrated vital sign monitors usually consist of the heart rate

display and sensing unit, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure level display and sensor, too as saturation of

peripheral oxygen, or SpO2 display and sensing unit.




Finger Mounted Blood Saturation Oximeters




Probably the most compact overall, yet bulky to carry on a finger.




Wrist Mounted Blood Saturation Oximeters




Because the wrist blood saturation oxygen monitors do not demand a large processing unit (mounted on the finger or placed on desk), and

only have a small finger SpO2 probe attached to the fingertip, they

come very helpful when a long run measurement, like over night, is needed.
