Facts And Answers About Wrist Pulse Oximeter

By Georgia Diaz


If you are needing to monitor the beat of your heart, there is the newly invented kind of device that is designed for the sole purpose of it. It is called as the wrist pulse oximeter. This is not yet used by the wide public because of the newness since after discovery. But if you are up to know and store some knowledge right in your brain, there are the truths that are written below.

This functions as the device that measures the present oxygen saturation on the arterial blood hemoglobin. This is seen most commonly at the health institutions where a person spends most of his time resting and recovering. This is seen at the home care, medical center, clinic, and nursing homes.

The finger is inserted in here so that the oxygen saturation will then be measured. Usually, it is the index finger that will be used by adult people. However, to those children whose pulse have to be measured, any finger can be used, depending on the size where it will fit to the ring of the oximeter.

This is known to be the effective method in calculating the beat that you have, if it is normal or not. However, just like other things, this also has its downfalls. One is the nail polish that you did not remove. It can clog the calculation causing it to measure the heartbeat that you have inaccurately.

Usually, the first reading will be inaccurate. This is for the reason that the shakiness and the signal quality is not yet stabilized. That is why it is very much needed that you wait until the part already stabilizes before you measure it. Better yet, ensure the interference is not contaminated with motion.

Also, it is important that while you are measuring the beat, that you positioned it hanging up in the air. This will suppress any tension that might hinder the precision of measurement that you wanted to achieve. And also, avoid pressing any of the surfaces or you will only break or damage it.

Also, it is very much needed that you wait until the interference have stabilized already. Usually, it is asked that you wait for eight to ten seconds before you started reading the calculation. But if you have shaky hands, then it will take long than eight or ten seconds. It will take more than that though.

Avoid using this when you are walking or running. Take note, your whole body is moving. And this is not to be used when moving the whole body. That will only contaminate the ring with the movements. As what was said before, a person have to be relaxed before he can use this for the stable signal.

Those are just some facts and answers of the questions and clarifications in wrist pulse oximeter. If you have more inquiries that were not answered here, then you can ask that health doctor who uses this precisely and effectively. You may ask him which brand to use if you do not know what shall be used.
