Market Definition
A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive medical device used to measure the blood's oxygen saturation level (SpO2) and pulse rate. It typically works by emitting light through a body part—usually a fingertip or earlobe—and detecting the amount of oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin based on light absorption.
