SpO2 stands for peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, an estimate of the amount of oxygen in the blood.
The SpO2 Sensor is used in making Pulse oximetry to a pulse oximeter,
which is a test that measures what proportion of the oxygen-carrying molecules in the blood (called
hemoglobin)
are actually carrying oxygen.
RED light is used to detect De-Oxygenated blood and Infrared Light to detect Oxygenated blood.
