Finger Pulse Oximeter FAQs
What is pi on a Pulse Oximeter?
The 'pi' on a pulse oximeter stands for perfusion index. It shows how well blood is flowing to your fingers or toes. A higher pi means good blood flow, while a lower pi might indicate weaker blood circulation. This helps doctors understand your overall health better.
Which Finger do I Use For a Pulse Oximeter?
Healthcare providers recommend using the index or middle finger for the best readings with a fingertip pulse oximeter.
These fingers are preferred because of their good blood flow and thickness of skin on the fingertips.
How to Use a Pulse Oximeter?
- Take off any jewelry or false nails on your finger.
- Find a comfortable position.
- Keep your hand warm and relaxed.
- Clip the device on your index or middle finger. It should feel snug but comfortable.
- Wait one minute and record the SpO2 number.
- Take off the device when finished and store in a safe place.
What is a Healthy Pulse Oximeter Reading?
Your oxygen level (SpO2) should be 95% or higher. If it is lower than this, then it could be a sign you need a check-up with your GP or nurse, or that it is safer for you to be in hospital.
