Beurer PO 45 Pulse Oximeter, Measurement of Oxygen Saturation (SpO₂), Heart Rate (Pulse) and Infusion Index (IP), Colour Display

The Beurer PO 45 pulse oximeter for convenient control of artery oxygen saturation, heart rate and infusion index - at home and on the go. With the PO 45 pulse oximeter from Beurer, you can measure your values reliably, simple and painless. Oxygen saturation (SpO₂), heart rate (pulse) and perfusion index (IP) are presented to you on the colour display in an easily legible way. In the event of an incorrect measurement, you will be informed by an icon display so that the measurement can be performed reliably again. The body's oxygen demand The human body needs about 400 litres of oxygen (O2) per day (source: Rosemarie Baumann, Physiology). Oxygen keeps the body's cells alive and running. To transport this amount of oxygen, a transport substance is needed, hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contained in red blood cells accumulates oxygen. The organs are thus supplied with oxygen through the blood. PO 45 Pulse Oximeter Main Features: Determination of arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (pulse) and perfusion index (PI) Very easy and painless measurement Symbolic display in case of unstable measurement Small and lightweight for home and on the go Easy-to-read colour display with seven display perspectives Adjustable screen brightness Graphic pulse display With strap and belt pouch How is oxygen saturation determined? Oxygen saturation can be measured without blood sampling. The color of the blood makes it possible to draw conclusions about oxygen saturation: Bright red: high oxygen saturation Dark red: low oxygen saturation Oxygen saturation provides information about the percentage of hemoglobin in arterial blood that is loaded with oxygen. This is therefore an important parameter for the assessment of respiratory function. People with a low oxygen saturation value experience the following symptoms more frequently: shortness of breath, increased heart rate, loss of performance, nervousness and sweating. A pulse oximeter is useful for at-risk patients such as: People suffering from heart disease Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases Bronchial asthma Athletes and healthy people who travel at high altitudes (e.g. mountaineers, skiers or sports pilots) What does the infusion index say? The infusion index provides information about the blood flow in your finger. Depending on the strength of the pulse, it indicates the amount of blood circulating in a certain period of time. It is important to measure the infusion index because a value that is too low can affect the results of your measurements. To get reliable results, you need to know your normal value. You can find out by taking measurements under different conditions, such as activity level or measurement location. In general, the infusion index can be between 0.3% and 20%, but the optimal value varies from person to person. Measuring Range The pulse oximeter can be used in the following measurement range: SpO₂: 70 - 100%, Pulse: 30 - 250 beats per minute, IP: 0.3 - 20% The following measurement accuracy
