An insight into the use of SP02 sensors

Masimo SPO2 sensors are a widely used medical devices that helps in measuring oxygen saturation levels in the blood of patients. Peripheral capillary oxygen saturation or SP02 essentially are a measure of the percentage of hemoglobin molecules in the blood that are carrying oxygen.  Sensors are a non-invasive device that tends to be attached to the fingertip, toe, or earlobe of a patient.  Nellcor Covidien SPO2 solutions are also seen in a number of healthcare facilities.

SPO2 sensors basically work on the principle of pulse oximetry. They emit two wavelengths of light. One of it is absorbed by oxygenated hemoglobin, while the other is absorbed by deoxygenated hemoglobin. The sensor can to determine the patient's oxygen saturation level by measuring the amount of light that is absorbed by the blood. SPO2 sensors are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other medical settings in order to monitor patients with respiratory or cardiac conditions. They also might be used during surgeries and in critical care units. Sensors are considered a safe and effective way to measure a patient's oxygen saturation levels. You can get more details of SPO2 sensors, as well as devices like Ohio suction regulators, on the web.
