Understanding Oximeters and Their Uses

Oximeters are small, clip-on devices that use light technology to estimate the amount of oxygen carried by red blood cells. They are typically placed on a fingertip and provide a quick and painless measurement of oxygen saturation (SpO2).

Here are some of the reasons why people might use an oximeter:

Managing chronic health conditions: Certain health conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, can affect your oxygen levels. An oximeter can be a helpful tool for monitoring your oxygen saturation.

General health awareness: Anyone can benefit from understanding their baseline oxygen levels. This can be particularly useful for athletes or people at high altitudes where oxygen levels are naturally lower.
