Recent studies indicate that these devices may be less accurate in people with darker skin pigmentation and may make the oxygen level appear higher than it may be.
The U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is informing patients and health care providers that although pulse oximetry is useful for estimating blood oxygen levels, pulse oximeters have limitations and a risk of inaccuracy under certain circumstances that should be considered.
Patients who monitor their condition at home should pay attention to all signs and symptoms of their condition and communicate any concerns to their health care provider.
It is also recommended that users establish baseline value when healthy and at rest.
The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter allows you to monitor and maintain pulse and oxygen saturation levels on-the-go.
Accurate and fast oxygen level and heart rate measuring technology is ideal for sports enthusiasts during strenuous activities or mountain climbing.
Recommended for spot-check monitoring only.
No prescription required.
