does it measure blood oxygen saturation
523081
Yes, & I ck'd the accuracy by taking it to my dr's office & putting his oximeter on one hand mine on the other; both pulse & concentration were identical.
523082
Yes, that is its function. It also measures your pulse (heart beats per minute).
523083
Yes, it does. The top reading on the display is your pulse rate and the reading below that is your percentage of Oxygen Saturation. Hope this helps.

Ill be honest, I'm not real learned on all the different terminology. It gives you a heart rate reading (which I watch before and after neb treatments) and then the other is what I would suppose is the saturation level. Where the docs normally like it above 97 and are concerned when it's below 95 and super worried if it's below 90. Hope that helps. :)

It will tell you the percentage of O2 and is about as accurate as my MD's ox meter.

Your blood can be saturated with oxygen,yet your tissues starving.This called Bohr Effect.Is there a device that measures tissues and organs oxygen saturation?

It measures you heart rate by putting your index finger on the face of it. Works great! Got it for my 14 year old daughter who needed to monitor her heart rate. It's also least expensive at Amazon.

yes- it records you oxygen and pulse through the night. then you upload it to a program on your computer in the morning for a recorded file and print out. It does record all night until turned off.

I am unaware of that. I believe this only measures the oxygen in your blood levels. Not what is flowing to the brain. Sorry but I am not aware of the correct answer, but I don't believe so.

The pleth is an extremely important graph to see. It tells you how good the pulsatile signal is. If the quality of the pulsatile signal is poor, then the calculation of the oxygen saturation may be wrong.

No it does not. It just shows your oxygen level and pulse rate. It does have a back light, so easy to read. very accurate as well.

Yes, it's good. The oximeter is good for an occasional measure, not for continuous control of oxygenation

My mother and husband were on concentrators for extra oxygen when breathing. The pulse oximeter gave accurate readings and was the exact same thing the doctors' offices used. I use it for myself sometimes as well just to check.

I don't know. Our fingers have always been at room temperature. I would ask the manufacturer. The reading is based on light absorption in specific wavelengths that is sensitive to the amount of oxygen saturation, but I don't think the literature explains if there is any temperature sensitivity.

No. My doctor said the report was unusable because it produces a fuzzy range rather than specific readings that would allow him to see how consistent the oxygen levels were. Just get the equipment from your doctor.

No. It measures whole grams and tenths of ounces, but not hundredths of either.

Yes. Honestly, I don't know if I got a bad Oximeter but mine only gave me about 5 uses before it broke :/ I threw it away

Your question is hard . You may read articles on Wiki to get some help . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation_in_medicine

I have no idea. My mom's doctor recommended this product, so I got it and find it easy to read and use. We need to track my mom's oxygen levels, and this had really helped. I know this does not answer your question, but it does at least let you know that this one really works: product number B002CAPUWY.

There is no need for a probe, if I understand what you are asking. The devise opens like a clothespin and One puts the finger in with the fingernail next to an LED light. The devise then reads the pulse and oxygen sat. It seems to work just fine!

The book with it says it detects irregular heart beat. I havent used it much to run into that

You can usually still get a reading - but depends upon the color of the polish. The pulse oximeter is looking for certain wavelengths of light and in my experience blue/purple tinted polish tends to cause lower readings.
