An oximeter measures in a non-invasive manner oxygen levels in the blood (arterial oxygen saturation) using a sensor with a red light placed on a finger or on the earlobe. It gives the saturation level by percentage of the normal level which is set at 95 to 100%. It also shows the heart rate in real time.
Using mobile graphics, the electrocardioscope continuously traces the activity of the heart on a screen in real time.
The electrical signals from the heart are gathered by electrodes applied to the skin. It is completely painless.
