What is the SpO2 Sensors?

The SpO2 Sensor is used in making Pulse oximetry to a pulse oximeter, which is a test that measures what proportion of the oxygen-carrying molecules in the blood (called hemoglobin) are actually carrying oxygen.

What is the SpO2 Sensor

A pulse oximeter is a medical device that indirectly measures the oxygen saturation of a patients blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmograph. It is often attached to a medical monitor so staff can see a patients oxygenation at all times. Now, there is a portable battery-operated pulse oximeters are also available for home blood-oxygen monitoring.

What is made up of the SpO2 Sensor?

A SpO2 Sensor  Internally it consist of IR LED, Red LED and Light detector. Same has been brought out to the connector as shown below in sensor internal connections.

How does a spo2 sensor work?

The SpO2 sensor works out the oxygen saturation by comparing how much red light and infra red light is absorbed by the blood. Depending on the amounts of oxy HbO2 and deoxy Hb present, the ratio of the amount of red light absorbed compared to the amount of infrared light absorbed changes.

What is the normal SpO2 level?

A normal healthy person should be able to achieve normal blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) of 95% to 100%. For patients with mild respiratory diseases, the SpO2 should be 90% or above. Supplementary oxygen should be used if SpO2 level falls below 90%, which is unacceptable for a prolonged period of time.
This value is represented by a percentage. If your Withings Pulse Ox says 98%, this means that each red blood cell is made up of 98% oxygenated and 2% non-oxygenated haemoglobin. Normal SpO2 values vary between 95 and 100%.

There are two types of Spo2 Sensors:

Disposable Spo2 Sensors and Reusable SpO2 Sensors
 
4 Patient Sizes of Disposable Spo2 Sensors available in adult, pediatric, infant and neonate.

Why we use the Disposable Spo2 Sensors?

Comfortable Patients
  • Comfortable fit and light weight for patient satisfaction
  • Single patient use to help hospital efforts to reduce hospital-acquired infections
  • Bedside monitoring, telemetry, and neurology patients benefit from the same, accurate technology
 
Simplifies Clinical Workflow
  • Bright LED technology provides more accurate measurement for thicker fingers or skin with darker pigmentation
  • Easy to apply with full-range of sizes, from neonate to adult
  • Neonatal Dual-SpO2 for detecting duct-dependent congenital heart diseases in the newborn—dual SpO2 is simplified with Smart Cable—just plug and measure


9 types proximal connector reusable SpO2 Sensors available for different age groups(adult, pediatric, infant, neonate and animal).

Comfortable Patients
    • Comfortable fit and light weight for patient satisfaction with highly reliable measurement
    • Multi-site probe, can be used for neonate foot as well as adult fingers
    • Finger-tip probe, covers less area of the finger and gives the patient more freedom for finger movement
     
    Simplifies Clinical Workflow
      • Water resistant and washable, a clean probe can be used for every measurement
      • Bright LED technology provides more accurate measurement for thicker fingers or skin with darker pigmentation
