Different pulse oximeters use different physical connectors for their finger probes or sensors. An adapter allows you to connect a probe from one manufacturer to a monitor/device from another. Purpose: To make equipment compatible and interchangeable, saving cost instead of buying a whole new system. Examples: Nellcor to Masimo: A small cable that lets you […]

What is a Disposable SpO2 Sensor? It is a single-patient-use sensor that clips onto a patient’s finger, toe, or wraps around a foot or wrist to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. It connects via a cable to a patient monitor or portable pulse oximeter. The key word is disposable—it is used for […]
A SpO2 sensor is a medical device that measures the oxygen saturation level in your blood (peripheral capillary oxygen saturation) and your pulse rate, typically in a non-invasive way. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of what it is, how it works, its uses, and key considerations. What is SpO2 ? SpO2 is a percentage that represents the amount of […]
SpO2 (Peripheral Oxygen Saturation) is one of the most commonly used vital signs in healthcare. It measures the percentage of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin in the blood. Simply put, it tells you how much of the oxygen your blood is carrying is being delivered to the peripheral parts of your body (like fingers or earlobes). What is […]
