Wrist Monitor for Pulse Oximetry

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 31 Jan 2001
A lightweight portable pulse oximeter is designed to be worn on the wrist like a watch to quickly and conveniently measure both pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels in a patient's blood.

Called the Pulsox-3, the monitor is engineered for hospital use or for use at home, in rehabilitation centers, exercise physiology centers, sports medicine and athletic programs, and emergency paramedical services. More...
The monitor attaches to the wrist and a probe clips onto any finger. A reading is available within 11 seconds. The Pusox-3i model contains a memory function that can record and measure data for up to 12 hours, so data can be recorded during sleep or exercise. This unit also features a printer capable of both real time and continuous printing of data at specified intervals. The data can also be output into a computer.

The Pulsox-3 monitors are the products of Minolta Corp. (Ramsey, NJ, USA). "We are committed to continually improving precision, operational ease, and compactness,” noted Dudley Boden, director and general manager of Minolta's Instrument Systems Division.
