FAQs

Our devices are manufactured under international standards, to be more specific, the Pulse Rate Accuracy is ±2bpm or ±2% (whichever is greater) and the SpO2 accuracy is not greater than 3% for SpO2 range from 70% to 100%

Pulse Oximeters are highly accurate when used according to best practices. 

The following variables below can impact oximeter accuracy:

  • Brightness of light
  • Probe or sensor placement
  • Pressure on the wrist
  • Nerve-blocking medications
  • Movement
  • Artificial nail accessories
  • Other health conditions

For more detailed information on each of these factors and how to mitigate inaccuracy in your oximeter readings - read our blog post on Factors That Affect Pulse Oximeter Readings.

Pulse oximetry measures the percent of blood hemoglobin that is oxygen rich. It functions by passing a red beam of light into the fingertip. The oxygen level is then determined by measuring how much light passes through the fingertip vs how much is absorbed.

When it comes to which finger you should use a pulse oximeter on, the answer isn’t as cut and dry as one may initially believe. Based on the results of one study, it was found that the highest SpO2 value was measured on a subject’s right middle finger.

However, this variance was very slight when compared to the readings of all the other fingers. For this reason, it’s believed that you will obtain similar measurements regardless of which finger you place the probe on. It is still a good practice to use a more uniform digit like the index or middle finger rather than the pinky or thumb as this helps to reduce the margin for error.
