oximeter
An oximeter is a medical device that measures the level of oxygen saturation in a patient's blood. It is usually clipped on a thin part of the patient's body, such as an earlobe or fingertip. It works by passing two wavelengths of light through the body part to a sensor on the other side, then measuring how much light is absorbed by the blood. This allows it to calculate the percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood. It's often used to monitor the health of individuals with conditions affecting the heart or lungs.
