Fingertip Pulse Oximeters

a variety of hand held pulse oximeters

A finger pulse oximeter measures the amount of oxygen in a patient's blood and the patient's heart rate. This small monitoring device can also be attached to a toe. Oximeters can be attached to a separate monitor via a wire, or everything can be self-contained in a hand held unit such as the ones described below.

What is the normal oxygen saturation level?

Acceptable normal levels range from 95 to 100 percent for most people. Levels slightly below 95 percent may be acceptable for some patients depending on their specific medical conditions and other circumstances.
