In the realm of healthcare technology, accurate and reliable patient monitoring is paramount. One crucial parameter that healthcare professionals closely monitor is blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). SpO2 sensors, a cornerstone of pulse oximetry, play a pivotal role in assessing oxygen levels in the blood. MacMedCable, a leading provider of medical cable assemblies and components, is at the forefront of developing innovative SpO2 sensors that enhance patient care.
Understanding SpO2 Sensors
SpO2 sensors are non-invasive devices that measure the percentage of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin in arterial blood. They typically consist of two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and a photodetector. One LED emits red light, while the other emits infrared light. These lights are transmitted through the patient’s tissue, and the photodetector measures the amount of light absorbed by oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin. By analyzing the ratio of these light intensities, the sensor can calculate the SpO2 level.
