The oximeters measure oxygen saturation in the blood using a transcutaneous electrode with an infrared beam and shows us the heart rate.
Here are very complete models that calculate the measurement of CO2, O2 saturation, and apnea alarm feature, tricolor flag, among other functions.
The sensors are part of the interface between the oximeter and patient. We have wide variety of sensors, whether articulated, reusable or disposable, which are suited to each situation and patient.
Oximeter 8500 m
Pulse oximeter saturation figures showing and heart rate. Ideal for intermittent records pulse and oxygen saturation. The printer memory is optional as is the case.
9500 Oximeter
From the smallest on the market. It features integrated sensor tricolor indicator to facilitate the correct reading. Weight 62gr. Uses 2 AAA batteries lasting approx. 12 continuous hours.
