pulse oximeters
Fingertip saturation readers
Pulse oximeters are medical devices that clip onto a fingertip to measure blood oxygen levels and pulse rate.
The device shines light through the skin to detect oxygen saturation in hemoglobin.
Once confined to hospitals, portable pulse oximeters became household items during the COVID-19 pandemic as people monitored respiratory symptoms at home.
