In the EXAKT study from the U.K., the home-use pulse oximeters assessed all gave higher oxygen saturation (SpO2) readings for patients with darker skin tones than for patients with lighter skin tones.

Pulse oximeters use light to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood (SpO2). For most people, a normal pulse oximeter reading is between 95% and 100%, with readings below 90-92% generally considered ...

Fingertip monitors known as pulse oximeters that can be used at home to detect low blood oxygen levels (hypoxaemia) give higher readings for patients with darker than lighter skin tones, finds the ...

New NICE draft guidance has recommended the implementation of a digital tool using artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret spirometry tests at GP practices, which could increase access to testing ...

Fast and precise measurement of pulse and oxygen content of blood (%SpO2) with familiar Riester quality in just seconds. The measurements are easy to read on the green LED display. A visual signal ...
