  2. When to use? A pulse oximeter is used for monitoring the health of patients who suffer from any type of problem affecting their oxygen levels. It is a medical device to monitor the oxygen saturation level on a regular basis. It is more frequently used nowadays, due to the Covid19 pandemic that seriously affects the oxygen level of patients getting infected with the virus.

  3. Will It Detect Covid? The Covid19 virus directly enters into your respiratory tract and affects your lungs which makes it difficult to breathe in extreme conditions. This reduces the level of oxygen transmission in the body and this is where the need to buy a pulse oximetercomes in. It is used to detect the coronavirus symptoms and the oxygen saturation level in your body.

  4. Will it detect pneumonia? Pneumonia is a serious respiratory problem caused by lung inflammation and infection. Since coronavirus directly enters into the respiratory tract affecting the lungs and lowering the oxygen level, early signs of this virus can be detected with the help of an oximeter. Also, adverse condition like pneumonia can also be detected with its use.

  5. How To Use It Correctly? To know the accurate reading, a pulse oximeter needs to be used correctly. It should be placed in your fingertip and should not be moved while making the reading. Wearing nail polish or false nails may affect the reading. A good saturation level or SpO2 is considered to be 95% or above. 93% or lower is considered to be low oxygen and below 90% is extremely low when you need to be hospitalized.

  6. Which oximeter is accurate? Evidence of clinical authentication will let you know about your oximeter. The best way to know about your oximeter is to follow the device’s instructions carefully. This is needed for accurate reading of the oxygen saturation level in your blood that makes you aware about the coronavirus.

  7. How To Choose? When you decide to buy a pulse oximeter, check its clinical validation. Clinical validation means that you are buying an authenticated and quality product that complies with medical guidelines and gives you correct reading.
