What is Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) ?

Oxygen saturation is a term referring to the concentration of oxygen in the blood. In medicine, oxygen saturation (SpO2), commonly referred to as "Saturation (Sats)", measures the percentage of hemoglobin binding sites in the bloodstream occupied by oxygen.

The human body requires and regulates a very precise and specific balance of oxygen in the blood. Normal blood oxygen levels in humans are considered 95-100 percent. If the level is below 90 percent, it is considered low resulting in hypoxemia.[1] Blood oxygen levels below 80 percent may compromise organ function, such as the brain and heart, and should be treated by medical professional immediately.

Pulse oximeter measures the blood oxygen saturation of patient, and it is widely used by patients to monitor their blood oxygen saturation at home.

Did you know? Studies show that COPD patients who use oxygen therapy at home, for at least 15 hours per day, experienced a longer life span.

What are the Oxygen Therapy related medical devices?

For Home use

Oxygen concentrator

Stationary use oxygen concentrator is the most commonly used oxygen generating device. Simply connect the power source and the oxygen concentrator will extract and filter out oxygen from air continuously without putting any additional chemical materials. It is very economical and easy to operate for elderly daily use.
