Using an adult-sized will not work on the index finger of a younger patient. However, the Pediatric Handheld Pulse Oximeter by McKesson helps process heart rate and blood oxygen saturation levels in youth patients.
The oximeter has a weight range of 22-110 pounds (10-50 kilograms) and has two working modes: continuous and spot-check. Similar to the adult version, the oximeter has a 2.8-inch TFT (thin-film transistor) display that offers clear and precise readings to the medical professional. It also has the ability to store up to 127 patient IDs and continuously records up to 72 hours of data. This makes it a reliable tool for monitoring young patients.
