Pulse Oximeters
Pulse oximeters are non-invasive devices to help healthcare professionals check the pulse rate of patients on the go and provide an accurate spot-check of oxygen saturation of arterial haemoglobin (SpO2). Designed to be easy to use at home, in clinics, and in physiotherapy offices, the simple operation and high accuracy help you to build a plan around the needs of your patient. If you are looking for high-quality pulse oximeters available now, we have a selection of the best here at Physiosupplies.

FAQs
What is a normal reading on a pulse oximeter?
Typically, a normal level of oxygen from a pulse oximeter reading is around 95% or higher, although those suffering from sleep apnea or lung conditions may have a reading of 90%. If you have any concerns about the reading, consult your doctor or other healthcare professional.
What are the 2 readings on a pulse oximeter?
Pulse oximeters read both the pulse rate of a patient and the blood oxygen level. The SpO2 reading shows the level of blood oxygen saturation and is considered in the normal zone if it is 95%. The BPM reading shows the heart rate, and a standard reading will be between 60 to 100 beats per minute.
How to read a pulse oximeter?
Most pulse oximeters are easy to read, providing a clear display of the blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) and the pulse reading (BPM). Readings of 95% or higher for SpO2 and between 60 and 100 BPM are considered normal.
Do finger pulse oximeters work?
Finger pulse oximeters work extremely well, providing an accurate and non-invasive way to measure blood oxygen saturation and heart rate of patients. They are popular amongst healthcare professionals as they provide accurate results and are easy to operate.
What if my blood oxygen saturation level is low?
If you monitor your oxygen levels and they are low, you should consult your healthcare provider. It could be a sign of an underlying condition. However, it may also be a sign that you need to change your diet to include more iron-rich foods and increase your weekly exercise.
