Pulse oximeters

Pulse oximeters are small devices that attach to the end of your finger and can determine how much oxygen is in your blood in less than a minute. The purpose of pulse oximetry is to check how well your heart is pumping oxygen through your body.

Small beams of light pass through the blood in the finger to measure the amount of oxygen. They measure changes of light absorption in oxygenated or deoxygenated blood. The pulse oximeter will then be able to provide a reading of your oxygen saturation levels, along with your heart rate. An oxygen saturation level of 95 percent is considered normal for most healthy individuals. If you’re using pulse oximetry at home on the advice or recommendation of a medical professional, they’ll let you know how often to take your readings and what to do if they go above or below certain levels.

Non-contact infrared thermometers

Non-contact infrared thermometers can be used to measure temperature rapidly and non-invasively, providing you with a temperature reading within a few seconds. They offer an infection control friendly solution to obtaining temperatures without the requirement for spare probe covers after every use (unlike conventional tympanic ear thermometers).

The Thermofinder non-contact thermometer offers two functions (1) body temperature, simply point towards patients temporal artery (within 2-5cms) and press the start button to take a reading, and (2) ambient/surface temperature, which allows the reading of air temperature and surface temperature (bath water, baby’s feeding bottles). The response time is less than 1 second and the readings are available in °C/°F from a multi-colour easy to read back-lit display. It has a memory capacity of 32 readings and benefits from an auto shut off (after 60 seconds) feature. Supplied with 2 x AAA batteries and complete with a 1 year guarantee.
