Handheld Pulse Oximeters

Handheld Pulse Oximeters (or “SATs monitors” as they are sometimes known) are still one of the most popular methods of obtaining pulse oximetry measurements. A separate reusable sensor on the end of a length of cable is clipped onto the finger and the other end is plugged into the handheld oxygen saturation monitor. A pulse oximeter is a small, lightweight device used to monitor the amount of oxygen carried in the body.
