What are the essential qualities of a good pulse oximeter?
Pulse oximeters used in healthcare settings should be dependable, safe, accurate, robust, portable, and simple to use. It is mandatory that pulse oximeters intended for clinical use are regulated as medical devices and display a valid CE, CE UKNI or UKCA mark.
Although many pulse oximeters are small, lightweight and therefore suitable for children, there are pulse oximeters designed specifically for paediatric patients. The Biolight M70A is ideal for measuring blood oxygen levels and pulse rate in children, due to its compact and child-friendly design.
