Choice Medical MD300C Fingertip Pulse Oximeter General Description
General Description
Haemoglobin Saturation is percentage of HbO2 (Oxyhemoglobin), compounded with oxygen, in haemoglobin (Hb). In other words, it indicates the saturation of HbO2 in blood. It is a crucial physiological parameter for Respiration System. Many respiratory diseases can lead to decrease of SPO2 saturation. Moreover, such factors as organic automatic adjustment malfunction derived from anesthesia, side effect of major operation and injures aroused from physical check can also cause problems about SPO2 saturation variation, which contributed to such adverse symptoms such as faint, vomit and feel weakness and so on. What's more, if cannot get the right remedy, it can lead to dangers to human's life. Hence, it is very feasible for doctors to analyze patients' SPO2 saturation as reference to detect the root of the causes, which is more effective to relieve patients' pain and conduct suitable therapy plan as soon as possible.
The fingertip pulse oximeter with features of small dimension, low power consumption, easy-to-use and convenience for carry. As long as you put your figure in the device which read data though a light-sensitive probe, then the associated reading will be displayed on the indicator. It is proved by clinical trial Pulse Oximeter have outstanding precise and could repeat to measure the SPO2 more accurately and stably.
Measurement Principle
The fingertip pulse oximeter contains a dual light source and photo detector. Bone, tissure, pigmentation, and venous vessels normally absorb a constant amount of light over time. The arteriolar bed normally pulsates and absorbs variable amounts of light during systole and diastole, as blood volume increases and decreases. The ratio of light absorbed at systole and diastole is translated into an oxygen saturation measurement. This measurement is referred to as SpO2.
The principle of the oximeter rely on the property of spectrum which collect data from hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin in glow area and area of approximate infrared source and apply the formular “Lamnert Beer” to establish the evaluating equation. In fact, the basic calculating technique is to combine electro-photo SPO2 detecting technology with recording mock pulse rate technology to get the result, the process demonstrate as below:
- Firstly, use glow with wavelength of 660cm and approximate infrared with wavelength of 940cm to put light on the finger tip ready to read analogue data.
- Secondly, to process the data by electric circuit and microprocessor, then convey the data to LED display for reading.
