HUM PULSE OXIMETER
Saturometer or oximeter for measuring oxygen levels in the blood.
The AEROcheck is a pulse oximeter manufactured by HUM in Germany. Easy to handle and ergonomically designed, this quality pulse oximeter guarantees fast, reliable measurements of your blood oxygen level and pulse rate.
Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method of measuring arterial pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2). This saturation (SpO2) indicates the extent to which hemoglobin, the red pigment available for oxygen transport, is charged with oxygen.
Instant, reliable oxygen and pulse measurement.
- Insert your finger into the device.
- Press the single button and your oxygen saturation is displayed.
Why measure your oximetry?
Among other things, oxygen saturation provides information on the efficiency of oxygen transport , in other words, primarily on respiration. It is an important parameter for assessing respiratory function. In many cases, it can be used to characterize lung function and activity. Disturbances in the body's oxygen supply (lack of O2) can lead to the following symptoms:
General Dyspnea, diminished performance, dizziness, anxiety, weight loss, digital hippocratism, cyanosis, hyperventilation
Cardiac Angina pectoris, tachycardia, rhythm disorders
CNS Fatigue, confusion, intellectual impairment, loss of consciousness, coma
Oxygen saturation monitoring is of vital importance in medical practice, as it provides the physician with essential information for deciding which therapeutic measures to take in good time.
How does measuring oxygen levels in the blood work?
Oxygen concentration is measured using the photometric measurement method employed by the AEROcheck® Finger Pulse Oximeter and Beer-Lambert's law (the basis of modern photometry). Thanks to the photometric measurement method used by the device, light emitted by a sensor passes through the pulsating flow of blood in the finger.
On one side of the finger, the sensor consists of two light sources illuminating a predefined area (wavelength 660 nm for red light and 940 nm for infrared light). Depending on the different coloration of the oxygen-saturated hemoglobin, the resulting absorption varies and is measured by a light-sensitive sensor on the other side of the fingercot. The measured signal is processed by a microprocessor before being displayed on screen.
Clear display and oximetry data :
This pulse oximeter has a high-quality display. What's more, the information is displayed in full color, making the screen easy to read. For greater reading comfort, the orientation of the data can also be changed, so you can choose normal (horizontal display) or vertical mode.
