Pulse Oximeter
A pulse oximeter provides a non-invasive estimate of blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Home readings can be useful when a clinician has advised monitoring, but they should be interpreted alongside symptoms and professional advice.
Final price depends on brand/model, rental duration, specification, delivery area and current availability.

What happens after you submit a requirement.
Frequently asked questions.
What is a normal oxygen saturation?
Interpretation depends on the individual and clinical context. Follow the thresholds given by the patient's healthcare professional rather than relying on generic internet cut-offs.
Can pulse oximeter readings be wrong?
Yes. Motion, poor circulation, cold fingers, nail polish, device quality and placement can affect readings.
Should I go to hospital if the number is low?
If a person is unwell, breathless, confused or has readings outside the range their clinician advised, seek appropriate medical assessment promptly.
Are pulse oximeters suitable for continuous monitoring?
Most consumer finger devices are designed mainly for spot checks rather than hospital-style continuous monitoring.
