The Braun Pulse oximeter (BPX801) is a non-sterile, reusable device intended for spot checking or intermittent determination of oxygen saturation in arterial blood, as well as the associated pulse rate by using the tip of the finger as the measurement site. The device is intended for adults 21 year of age or older, in a home-use environment (such as a home setting or places of business).
An electrically-powered photoelectric device designed for the transcutaneous measurement and display of haemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2). The signals are produced by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and received by a photodetector. The device displays the SpO2 values and may also measure/display pulse rate. It is typically applied to the fingertip or around the wrist, may be single-component (with built-in probe) or multi-component (includes external probe), and may in addition wirelessly transmit measurements to a receiving location (e.g., central station, bedside monitor); it is intended to be operated by laypersons and healthcare providers.
