Pulse oximetry testing
Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive test that measures the oxygen saturation level of your blood. It provides crucial information about how well oxygen is being transported to the parts of your body furthest from your heart, such as your arms and legs.
It is a valuable tool for quickly and accurately assessing oxygen levels in the blood, helping healthcare providers make informed decisions about diagnosis and treatment.

Important Tips for the Best Readings

Nail Polish or Artificial Nails: Dark nail polish or artificial nails can interfere with the sensor, so removing polish in advance can help. If this isn’t possible, don’t worry—our technician can select an alternate finger.
-
Warm Hands: Good blood flow helps with accurate readings. If your hands are cold, our technician may ask you to warm them briefly.
