When oxygen flows through the lungs, it is bound by hemoglobin in red blood cells.
A pulse oximeter uses two frequencies of light (red and infrared) to determine the
percentage (%) of hemoglobin in the blood that is saturated with oxygen. This
percentage is called oxygen saturation (SpO2) . In addition to the SpO2 level, a pulse
oximeter also measures and displays the pulse rate.

People with a low oxygen saturation value are more likely to experience the following symptoms: shortness of breath, increased heart
rate, weakness, nervousness and outbreaks of sweating. If oxygen saturation is known to be chronically diminished, it requires monitoring
using the pulse oximeter under medical supervision. If you have acutely diminished oxygen saturation, with or without the accompanying
symptoms, you must consult a doctor immediately as it could lead to a life-threatening situation. The pulse oximeter is particularly suitable
for patients at risk such as people with heart disease or asthma, but also for athletes and healthy people who exercise at high altitude (e.g.

The Beurer POÿ45 pulse oximeter provides a non-invasive measurement of the arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), the heart rate (pulse
rate) (PRbpm) and the perfusion index (PI). Oxygen saturation indicates the percentage of haemoglobin in arterial blood that is loaded
with oxygen. Therefore it is an important parameter for assessing the respiratory function.

• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas)
should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the PO 45. Otherwise, degradation of the
performance of this equipment could result.

• People with low blood pressure, who suffer from jaundice or take medication for vascular contraction may
experience incorrect or falsified measurements.

who have abnormal haemoglobin levels. This applies in particular for cases of carbon monoxide poisoning and
methaemoglobin poisoning, which can occur for example from the administration of local anaesthetics or from an
existing methaemoglobin reductase deficiency.
