Summary: A new market study, titled "Discover Global Smart
Pulse Oximeters Market Upcoming Trends, Growth Drivers and Challenges" has been featured on WiseGuyReports.
Two different types of
pulse oximeter sensors were used in this study.
Oxygen saturation of haemoglobin is then determined by both the
pulse oximeter (Sp[O.sub.2]) and in vitro laboratory multiwavelength co-oximeter (Sa[O.sub.2], considered the gold standard).
(9) Overall, however, burns remain an uncommon complication with
pulse oximeters.
The purpose of this study was to determine the level of agreement between a portable
pulse oximeter and Sa[O.sub.2] values, and assess its acceptability as a clinical device for estimating Sa[O.sub.2] based on expert recommendations (bias [less than or equal to]2%; precision [less than or equal to]5%) (Huffman, 1989; Jensen et al., 1998; Nitzan et al., 2014; Soubani, 2001).
Pulse oximeter proves to be an ideal device for an early recognition of hypoxia.
Clinical studies of the validity of
pulse oximeter alarms yielded disturbing data.
In July 2011, Lifebox donated 80
pulse oximeters to hospitals in Uganda.
The
pulse oximeter provides an indication of oxygen status in the body.
