The whole is more than the sum of its parts and when it comes to devices that are used to check on our health, certain instruments will prove their worth repeatedly. A pulse oximeter will guarantee accurate patient reading in the shortest time possible, while other devices will determine blood pressure without being invasive in any way. There was a dire need for some hardware that would address both needs just as well, without costing a lot of money and Nonin took on the challenge.
They came out with a multi-purpose device that acts as a pulse oximeter, also monitoring the patient’s blood pressure. It scores high in terms of mobility which is something most doctors are very excited about, especially in clinics that don’t own many instruments such as this one. The price is by no means prohibitive, and if you know where to start shopping you will even get nice discounts for the multi-role pulse oximeter. Furthermore, the costs of buying two distinct instruments to perform the same functions this device is capable of, would be considerably higher.
In terms of technology, this is a state of the art tool that will provide accurate blood pressure readings that are not influenced by ambient noise. The pulse oximeter, on the other hand, will produce exact interpretations of pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation. It is very important to be able to use this instrument without recharging the batteries often, for extended monitoring and equally important is to be able to calibrate the device with ease, preferably on the site.
