A pulse oximeter reads the
most of the concentration of oxygen
Oxygen that is oxygen is bound to hemoglobin in

peripheral blood
• Critical level
• Cerebral hypoxia (low oxygen level in the brain) may
85% and follow in a few minutes and cause irreversible brain damage.
Several vital organs might also be affected. The person
Fingertip
• as good as the fingers as a pulse oximeter
measuring site
• helpful in detecting problems in arterial
blood flow such as in lower extremity
arterial disease.
Toes
• can be clipped either on the tip or lower part of
the pinna (earlobe)
• medical anomalies with the hands or fingers that
hinder precise measurement of oxygen
saturation
Earlobe
• pulse oximeter probes that are used
on the palm and soles utilize a
wrap sensor instead of the ones
that are clipped

• MEASURING SITE MUST BE KEPT CLEAN AND DRY. YOU MAY REPOSITION
THE USER’S FINGER.
• THE SENSOR AND A BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF MUST NOT BE PLACED ON THE
SAME HAND.
