Pulse Oximeters
A pulse oximeter uses optical measurements to estimate arterial oxygen saturation and pulse rate, commonly through a sensor placed on a finger.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method used to measure the arterial oxygen saturation level in patient's blood. Pulse oximetry works on the principle of spectrophotometry.
Pulse oximeters consist of light emitting devices Pulse oximeters consist of a probe having light emitters with two different types of wavelengths of light, infrared and red. The light is transmitted through the body part such as a finger or ear lobe. The oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs more of the infrared light and the deoxygenated hemoglobin absorbs more of the red light. By calculating the amount of absorption, the sensor computes the proportion of oxygenated Hemoglobin in the blood, and it is displayed digitally.
It derives an estimate from light interacting with tissue rather than directly measuring oxygen content in a blood sample. Sensor configuration, signal conditions and validated intended use affect what the reading can support. A displayed number alone does not establish accuracy across users and conditions.
What turns activity into demand
Procurement depends on intended-use requirements and sensor format as well as the number of monitoring locations.
The commercial boundary
Distinguish medical-purpose devices from general-wellness products and separate reusable instruments from replacement sensors.
Is oxygen saturation the same as total oxygen content?
No. Saturation is a different quantity; the device reports an optical estimate of saturation and cannot replace every blood-based oxygen measurement.
