Pulse Oximeter & Oximetry Equipment For Sale

Vital Medical Supplies has a large range of Pulse Oximeters available online for healthcare professionals which are designed for the non-invasive determination of the functional oxygen saturation in the human arterial blood (SpO2) and for measuring the pulse frequency. They are a small, clip-on device that are attached to patients’ fingertips to measure the saturation of oxygen in a patients blood.

Monitoring levels of oxygen in the blood is a standard part of patient care as oxygen saturation is regarded as a vital sign, so having a pulse oximeter available in your clinic or medical practice is an essential tool for your medical kit.

We have a range of pulse oximeters suitable for adults and paediatric patients which all give you reliable accurate test results.

inhealth™ Finger Pulse Oximeter is a portable oximeter which is ideal to use in situations where rapid oxygen saturation reading may be required. Oximeters featuring a pulse detection and oxygen saturation are often referred to as Sp02 meters.

The MD300M hand held pulse oximeter is a portable, compact and durable monitoring device which is simple to use. This device greatly enhances patient care with its reliable results.

The purpose of a pulse oximeter is to give healthcare professionals early warning of any potential oxygen saturation issues and allows the doctor to monitor their patients effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is a normal reading for a pulse oximeter?

  Normal arterial oxygen is approximately 75 to 100 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). Values under 60 mm Hg usually indicate the need for supplemental oxygen.

  Normal pulse oximeter readings usually range from 95 to 100 percent. Values under 90 percent are considered low.

• What does a pulse oximeter measure?

  Pulse oximetry is a test used to measure the oxygen level (oxygen saturation) of the blood. It is an easy, painless measure of how well oxygen is being sent to parts of your body furthest from your heart, such as the arms and legs.

A pulse oximeter attaches to a patients fingertip. Once in place the oximeter sends two wavelengths of light into the finger, one to check pulse rate and the other to check oxygen saturation. The whole process takes seconds to complete and the calculations made by the pulse oximeter are then displayed on the monitor.

Blood oxygen saturation is also known as Sp02. A Sp02 reading of 95% or more is generally considered to be normal. A reading of less than 92% or less is an indicator that there's not enough oxygen in the blood.
