Why You Should Use CMS Pulse Oximeters

By Luisa Sharpe


The Pulse oximeters are mostly found in clinics. They are the apparatus used to tell the extent of oxygen levels in the blood. It ensures that the system of your body has the suitable levels. This is through comparison of the standard levels of 95 to 98 percent in an average person who is not having any complications of the pulmonary system. These CMS pulse oximeters are normally put on the finger or a narrow part of your body.

This equipment is used because it does not intrude on the way the body works. When compared to withdrawing blood from the body to do tastes on the amount of O2 and hemoglobin, it is better. If a person is to be tested after a few hours, the method of drawing blood becomes inconvenient. Taking blood from a patient within short intervals is not recommended.

The oximeter may be attached to the multi-parameter patient monitor with a large screen and can be seen from afar. One end of the oximeter is attached to the patient's finger while the other takes the readings to the huge monitor where it is displayed. Patients who are in intensive care need to have these instruments attached to their bodies at all ties to sense when they are having breathing problems.

This machine is used to test the amount of O2 in a persons blood. However, you have to know that it cannot be used to show details whether a person is using oxygen. To show whether the patient is using 02 in the body, this machine must be connected to other devices that perform this function. It is ideal because patients who are on surgeries need something to show the oxygen. In most cases, they have unstable supply that doctors need to improve on their intake.

This medical equipment is the one that is used on the patients suffering from COPD and the sleep disorders such as hypopnea and apnea. This is will quickly easily detect any changes in the oxygen levels in case they begin to hyper or hypo ventilate and it becomes a critical condition. It can therefore be called an emergency medicine because it takes a few seconds to notice the danger that could have taken hours to notice.

Pilots who operate in great heights that exceed 10000 ft and where supplemental oxygen may be required also need to have their own oximeters. These can be used to monitor when they are not receiving enough air, and other emergency ensures can be taken. This way it is used to save lives. The CMS oximeters have low power consumption, and so they can work continuously for more than 30 hours.

The instrument also accommodates the widest range of finger sizes from children to adults. It also has approval from the FDA and Health Canada for use in medical emergencies. The seven segment bar graph display is very crucial in the instrument. This gives good protection against ambient light as one will still clearly see the readings.

The CMS pulse oximeter is of a very convenient size. It has a lightweight digital led monitor. It is very convenient to carry since it does not tire the patient. Its price is reasonable and consumes little energy.
