Yonker Fingertips Pulse Oximeter (YK-81C) 1s
RM 176.47
A pulse oximeter like Yonker Fingertips Pulse Oximeter is a medical device that is used to measure the oxygen level in our blood.
Who needs a pulse oximeter?
The need for a pulse oximeter as an essential item like a first aid kit at home is still debatable. This is because there are several factors that can actually affect the accuracy of the reading. Hence may lead to an inaccurate reading if used by inexperienced users.
Factors that can affect the reading of a pulse oximeter includes:
1. Cold peripheries
2. Blood flow issues
3. A foreign body that’s blocking the oximeter from getting proper reading such as nail polish, tattoo, or fake nails
4. Patient with a blood disorder
5. he position of the oximeter - may not be placed correctly over the finger
However, a pulse oximeter is important to monitor oxygen saturation levels in patients that may have their respiratory system compromised. This includes COVID-19 patients as this infection may cause happy hypoxia or silent hypoxia where patients don’t have any symptoms despite their oxygen level having already dropped below the normal level.
If you are using your own pulse oximeter to measure or monitor oxygen levels at home, please make sure to use it according to instructions and do not rely on the pulse oximeter alone. Go to the hospital or your nearest healthcare facility once you notice your oxygen level is not on the normal level or if you are not feeling very well or having any alarming symptoms.
