Page: Pulse Oximeter

Smart technology for busy caregivers.

Faced with rising acuity rates, as well as higher nurse-patient ratios, caregivers are increasingly using pulse oximetry to monitor SpO2 and detect respiratory problems early.1

Why? It is:

  • Noninvasive
  • The most convenient way to monitor SpO2 on an ongoing basis.1
