What does the measured result mean?
The oxygen saturation (SpO
) of the blood is a term referring to the concentration of oxygen at-tached to human hemoglobin. The normal
2
value lies between 90 and 99 % SpO
. A too low value may be an indication for existing diseases like e.g. cardiac defect, problems of the
2
circulatory sys-tem, asthma or specific diseases of the lung. A too high value may be caused by a too fast and too deep breathing, what
bears the danger of a too low blood carbon dioxide level. The value measured with this device is not suitable in any way to make or confirm
a diagnosis - contact your doctor under all circumstances to get a correct diagnosis.
