Types of Oximeters
The types of Oximeters commonly used to measure percentage oxygen saturation of circulating blood include: Pulse Oximeter The principle of operation of pulse oximeter is based on the concept that the arterial oxygen saturation determinations can be made using two wavelengths. These two wavelengths assume two absorbers namely: The instrument consists of a pair of…

The Process of Oximetry in Biomedical Measurements
Oximetry is the determination of the percentage oxygen saturation of the circulating arterial blood. Where, [HbO2] is the concentration of oxygenated haemoglobin and [Hb] is the concentration of deoxygenated haemoglobin. The percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood is very important. The oxygen saturation is a bio-constant and is an indication of the performance of…
