A pulse oximeter is an electrically powered device that measures the oxygen saturation level in a person's blood through the skin, typically using light-emitting diodes and a photodetector. It displays the SpO2 value and often also shows pulse rate, and is commonly placed on the fingertip or wrist for non-invasive monitoring.
These devices may be designed as single units with integrated probes or as multi-component systems with separate sensors, and some models support wireless transmission of data to monitors or central stations. They are intended for use by both healthcare professionals and laypersons in clinical, home, or transport settings.
