Fingertip
Pulse Oximeter
USER MANUAL
General Description
Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells when moving through the lungs. It is transported throughout the body as arterial
blood. A pulse oximeter uses two frequencies of light (red and infrared) to determine the percentage (%) of hemoglobin in the blood
that is saturated with oxygen. The percentage is called blood oxygen saturation, or SpO
displays the pulse rate at the same time it measures the SpO
Measurement Principle
Principle of the oximeter is as follows: The pulse oximeter works by applying a sensor to a pulsating arteriolar vascular bed. The
sensor contains a dual light source and photo detector. The one wavelength of light source is 660nm, which is red light; the other is
905nm, which is infrared-red light. Skin, bone, tissue and venous vessels normally absorb a constant amount of light over time. The
photo detector in finger sensor collects and converts the light into electronic signal which is proportional to the light intensity. 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 SpO
.
