Welcome to our range of Handheld & Bedside Pulse Oximeters with Alarms

To enable a patient's oxygen saturation and/or pulse rate readings to be "monitored", as opposed to just being checked, these oximeters have programmeable alarm limits that can be adjusted to appropriate levels in order to give both audible & visual warnings whenever one of the readings goes outside these limits. They also have a different sounding audible alert to warn if readings cannot be obtained (for example: if the probe/sensor has become disconnected) as well as if the battery power has become low.

These are the most traditional type of device for obtaining pulse oximetry measurements. A reusable sensor on the end of a length of cable is clipped onto the finger and the other end is plugged into a handheld or tabletop unit which is, more often than not, connected to a mains power supply close to the patient's bedside.

The unit contains all the electronics, power supply and display screen and allows the oximeter to be used with different types of compatible sensor. This gives the user a choice of reusable or disposable sensors, as well as a choice of different sites including the earlobe, hand, foot, finger or toe. Softer, flexible probes should be used if monitoring continuously for four hours or longer. It is also advisable to check the condition and integrity of the skin at the monitoring site and reposition the probe to prevent damage to the surface of the skin.
