Certeza Oximeter

A Certeza Oximeter gives users a quick and easy way to keep an eye on the oxygen levels in their blood. Oximeters are non-invasive, making them very convenient along with the fact that the results come back in minutes.

Compared to the other methods, oximeters are less accurate by a slight margin. Other methods such as arterial blood gas testing also provide more information on other blood gases.

Certeza Oximeters can be used to assess a person's general health during a routine physical exam. Other uses are to gauge blood oxygen levels regarding many issues including COPD, asthma, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), cardiac arrest, anaemia, lung cancer, and heart failure, among others.

Overall oximeters are generally accurate within 2% to 4%of the actual reading. Skin pigmentation, artificial nails, nail polish and skin temperature and thickness can affect the reading.
