Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How do oximeters work?
A: Pulse oximeters measure blood oxygen levels and heart rate by analyzing light absorption through the skin.
Q: Where can I buy an oximeter?
A: You can purchase pulse oximeters online or at medical supply stores and pharmacies.
Q: Are pulse oximeters accurate?
A: Yes, pulse oximeters provide reliable readings when used correctly, but factors like nail polish, cold fingers, and poor circulation can affect accuracy.
Q: What do oximeters measure?
A: It measures the oxygen saturation level in your blood (SpO2) and your pulse rate.
Q: How do pulse oximeters measure oxygen?
A: They emit light through the skin and analyze how much light is absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Q: Does a pulse oximeter measure heart rate?
A: Yes, pulse oximeters provide a real-time pulse rate reading along with oxygen saturation levels.
Q: Can an oximeter detect a heart attack?
A: No, a pulse oximeter does not diagnose heart attacks. It measures SpO2 and heart rate but does not detect blockages or cardiac distress.
Q: Does a pulse oximeter measure blood pressure?
A: No, pulse oximeters do not measure blood pressure. They only monitor oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
