common or rechargeable batteries. It is compact, light, flexible to use
and easy to learn.
Parameters measured by the Pulse Oximeter include: arterial oxygen
saturation (SpO

Oximeter is also capable of managing measured data and transmitting
the patient’s trend through the dual-purpose socket to a PC for printing.
