Pulse oximeter Pulse oximeter medical Our body’s oxygen requirements. The human body needs approx. 400 litres of oxygen (O2) each day. The oxygen saturation level of a healthy person is around 94% to 99%. Checking arterial oxygen saturation on a regular basis makes it possible to take appropriate measures against signs of deficiency at the right time. Feel safe even at high altitudes. Beurer pulse oximeters are perfect for at-risk patients and athletes alike. Small and light, they fit inside any pocket. O2 attaches to haemoglobin. O2 Haemoglobin releases O2 to organs. O2 When is it advisable to use a pulse oximeter? A pulse oximeter is recommended for athletes who want to keep an eye on their vital signs. The use of a pulse oximeter is also recommended in situations where the oxygen content of the ambient air is reduced, e.g. when you’re at higher altitudes for long periods or during air sports activities. A large number of people suffer from chronic or acute respiratory diseases. Pulse oximetry measurement plays an important role for this patient group. The illnesses include bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema (hyperinflation of pulmonary alveoli) and pulmonary oedema. Important to know: In high-risk patients, self-monitoring using a pulse oximeter is not sufficient. Medical supervision must also always be provided. Our tip: Early detection with the PO 80 Pulse Oximeter The Beurer PO 80 Pulse Oximeter has an integrated software connection that allows the measurements to be precisely recorded, so that they can be evaluated by your doctor. Early detection and feedback from your doctor can buy valuable time in the event that treatment is necessary. Oxygen supply via blood circulation. Oxygen keeps the cells in your body alive and functioning. Transporting this amount of oxygen requires a “carrier” – haemoglobin. The oxygen attaches to the haemoglobin in the red blood cells and is supplied to the organs via the bloodstream.
