How to use SantaMedical Jumper Fingertip Pulse Oximeter w/LED Display?
Using a pulse oximeter at home, taking readings will let you know if the oxygen concentration is above or below certain levels.
Pulse oximetry is a fast, noninvasive, and painless test. In some cases, doctors recommend having a pulse oximeter at home. The pulse oximetry process is as follows:
- The probe should be put on the patient correctly to ensure the oximeter works correctly
- In some cases, a small probe is placed on your finger with a sticky adhesive. A person may be asked to remove your fingernail polish as it can cause complications in the accuracy of the reading.
- You’ll keep the probe on for as long as needed to monitor your pulse and oxygen saturation.
- As soon as the test is completed, the clip or probe will be removed.
- Once the test is over, the readings determine if other testing or treatment is necessary.
Bottom Line
This device is only intended to use for spot check of pulse rates and blood oxygen saturation level at home or places other than medical institutes. This is because this device is not suitable for medical purposes.
Small portable size makes it easy to handle and carry. This device is ideal to be used during high endurance sports activities and home.
