oximeters

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.

Oximeters to Measure Blood Oxygen

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

oximeter measure blood oxygenThe oximeters are devices that measure oxygen in blood and tissues in a simple and noninvasive, so are ideal for medical use and for educational experiences on physiology in vivo. It is scientifically proven medical devices that measure the oxygen concentration through infrared sensors and calculate the degree of saturation of this gas in blood. As detected electromagnetic radiation absorption by hemoglobin is necessary to remove the paint with acetone on the nail for a correct reading of oxygen saturation values.

By developing the technology of ultrasound, microwave, laser and infrared light has succeeded in developing a wide range of medical devices that act through electromagnetic waves, sonic or physical. Most important is that these devices are available to any user, and you can get a good home oximeter for a small investment of 100 or 200, although some houses have as Quirumed cheaper models by just over 60 euros plus shipping shipment. In hospitals are classified as having a fixed oximeter plethysmographic curve but for private use or educational enough portable pulse oximeter, hand or finger. Nonin is one of the brands that specialize in pulse, you indicate both the oxygen values as the number of heartbeats per minute.

acoustic sensor

Masimo The company can now market a new system for monitoring respiratory rate in patients who have undergone the surgery. The device is placed in the neck like a patch, and then “listens” to the sound produced in the upper airways.

Monitoring in Star Trek’s Style

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

monitoring pulse oxymeter

Star Trek-style, work is non-invasive systems capable of using light to the amount of oxygen in the blood and the pH level. The prototype, known as Venus, is being developed by the NSBRI National Space Biomedical Research Institute), and may determine the chemical composition of a tissue or blood, oxygen consumption and other parameters.
