A Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is a portable device used to measure blood oxygen levels (oxygen saturation) and pulse rate. It clips onto the fingertip and uses light sensors to provide quick and accurate readings of oxygen levels and heart rate, making it useful for monitoring respiratory and cardiovascular health.

Ensure the device is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions for accurate readings. Do not use on damaged or compromised fingers. Consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about your readings or underlying health conditions.
Side Effects:
Generally safe with no side effects. Incorrect use or placement may lead to inaccurate readings. If you experience any discomfort or suspect device malfunction, consult a healthcare provider.
