How and why to measure the level of oxygen in the blood
Every day we are doing a great job: the lungs inhale about 10 cubic meters of air, and the heart pumps nearly 7000 liters of blood to saturate the blood with oxygen arterial. The normal rate of blood oxygen saturation ranging from 96% to 99%. The lack of oxygen in the blood is called hypoxia leads to disease over time. Pulse Oximeter allows time to notice the problem and prevent its consequences.
iHealth PO3 combines two devices at once: Oximeter (determines the level of oxygen saturation) and heart rate (heart rate measure). All measurements are performed without any forced entry into the body - iHealth PO3 is attached to the finger and a clothespin making measurements directly through the skin.
How does this happen? The color of the blood depends on whether the hemoglobin is saturated with oxygen: less than the level, the darker the color. Inside clothespins two LED light source (infrared and conventional red LED) built, which generate radiation. Not oxygenated hemoglobin absorbs red light better. Oxygenated hemoglobin (oxyhemoglobin) better absorbs infrared radiation. Sensors on the other side of the device is fixed, how much light is passed through the finger from the radiators. Depending on the intensity of light absorption analyzes embedded microcontroller hemoglobin levels of red and infrared rays, and outputs the result as a percentage. Simply put, a pulse oximeter shines finger and determines the difference in the absorption of light.
To remove the indications you need to fix the clothespin-Oximeter in the middle, ring, or index finger. After about 7 seconds, the result will be displayed on the LED-display device. According to periodic changes in blood flow is determined by the pulse. The memory can store up to 100 measurements.
Portable gadget is small in size and weight. Device capability greatly extends the special mobile application iHealth SpO2 for iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Pulse Oximeter instantly transmit the data to the mobile device over Bluetooth, and the application will build on the basis of their exact schedule.
iHealth PO3 - simple and useful device that is useful to all those who are watching their health and is especially important for those involved in sports. And that is convenient: to carry out an important analysis, no longer need to go to the doctor - rescue gadgets.
