If you are not able to make to the doctor or to the hospital regularly to measure the oxygen content in your blood then here is a wonderful solution that will solve you worries. The Pulse oximeter ,a medical device that will monitor your haemoglobin and oxygen content in your blood. People who are suffering from cardio vascular or respiratory diseases need to keep a constant record of their oxygen saturation content, so for them this Pulse oximeter is very helpful.
This is a non invasive device with a simple principle that is easy to understand and use. We all know that blood has two forms the oxygenated and the de oxygenated one. The oxygenated blood is always more saturated with oxygen and haemoglobin resulting in red colour while the deoxygenated blood is lesser in saturation percent which is the reason that it is bluish in colour. So with this factor of oxygen percent two lights of different wavelength are used in the Pulse oximeter, the infra red and the red light. The oxygenated blood absorbs more infrared light emitting a brighter radiance than the deoxygenated blood. This difference is measured by the photo detector and the result is represented graphically and on the monitor of the device.
The Pulse oximeter is also very easy to handle so a patient need not depend on others to find out the result. There are different sizes and models of this Pulse oximeter available in the market and you can buy one according to your choice. They are very simple to install and one need not be technically sound to operate it which is the reason that across the world this medical device is so popular. With the device people are relieved from the regular hospital visits and now are more careful about their health.
