Airo-Oxy Fingertip Pulse Oximeter
Regular price $77.00What's an Oximeter?
A home pulse oximeter is a device that is placed on a fingertip and uses light beams to estimate the heart rate and the oxygen content in your blood, without drawing a blood sample.
Pulse oximeters display results on screen as numbers. Oxygen saturation level, is abbreviated as SpO2, and presented as a percentage. Pulse or heart rate is abbreviated as PR. For healthy individuals, oxygen saturation values are between 95% and 100%.
Individuals who are most at risk for oxygen issues include active smokers with pre-existing lung disease, obesity and heart disease.
Medical uses of Oximetry include monitoring of blood oxygen levels:
- in assessing the effects of new patient lung medication,
- in anaemia
- in various respiratory conditions including COVID-19, Sleep Apnea, COPD, Infant Bronchiolitis, Lung cancer, Asthma, home oxygen therapy management, etc.
Oximetry is also used to identify those individuals who require respiratory support.
How a $77 device can save lives
Use of oximeters has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 virus, enters the body through the respiratory system, directly causing inflammation and pneumonia in the patient's lungs. As both these conditions decrease the efficiency of oxygen transfer into the bloodstream, a person with COVID-19 can have very low oxygen levels without other symptoms and otherwise appear well.
Such patients are more significantly ill than they feel and certainly warrant closer attention in a medical setting. It's why an oximeter can help detect COVID-19 early and is a helpful tool for checking oxygen levels so that low oxygen levels can be identified early and medical intervention started earlier to help save lives.
