A pulse oximeter probe, single-use, is a disposable sensor applied to body sites like fingertips or earlobes to measure arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂). It uses light technology to detect oxygen levels and sends data to a separate monitor for real-time display, aiding in patient monitoring for conditions like hypoxia or respiratory issues.
These probes are typically classified as single-use medical devices, meaning they are intended for one-time use only to ensure hygiene and safety. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally subject to compliance standards for performance, sterility, and labeling to guarantee accurate and reliable oxygen saturation readings.
