SFO Medical Supplies Inc, a leading manufacturer of medical devices, unveiled its innovative TakeMyCare Finger Pulse Oximeter. This oximeter uses state of the art reflection technology to measure SpO2 (Oxygen Saturation Level), Pulse Rate (PR) and Pulse Intensity (PI). The TakeMyCare Pulse Oximeter is the latest addition to its current line of finger pulse oximeters which includes SportsChamp PulseOx for pleth waveforms.


Designed smaller than size of a handheld calculator, TakeMyCare pulse oximeter displays highly accurate SpO2/SaO2 and pulse rate at slip of the finger tip in the soft probe of this oximeter. Its large crystal clear screen also features large numeric and bright readings capable of being read in any light conditions.

The TakeMyCare Pulse Oximeter is one of the

only few which has LCD screen with colored LED display. It is based on optical LED and photodiode reflection technology with sophisticated tables to achieve high accuracy of +/- 1% of SPO2 range in higher saturation conditions. Oxygen Saturation is often referred as SaO2 or SpO2 is ratio of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) to the total concentration of hemoglobin present in the blood. SFO Medical solves the typical issue of low accuracy of readings at low oxygen saturation levels by its experienced design team. The pulse oximeter uses latest semiconductor technology and high quality of amplifiers to achieve high Signal to Noise ratio giving excellent accuracy (+/- 2%) in low oxygen saturation range.

This Finger Pulse Oximeter comes in two models (3500 and 5500) and three colors: yellow, black and blue. This model also solves the motion and artifacts by employing its digital signal processing and oversampling/correction techniques to suppress muscle and unwanted movements.

Priced at less than $100, these models are true answers to need of an affordable and dependable finger pulse oximeter for sports, aviation, mountain climbing, exercises, biking markets besides at home and ambulatory monitoring. Its low power consumption technology and auto shut off mode prolongs its battery life to 96 hours of continous monitoring. The TakeMyCare PulseOx comes with a hard carrying case for travel.
