(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 08, 2011 ) New York, NY -- Pulse oximeters are small, noninvasive devices that attach to a finger and can measure oxygen levels during health workouts. Demand in the United States has increased every year, and a new report shows sales well in excess of 305 million annually, with projected sales close to 500 million. 50% of the pulse oximeters are produced in China and imported into the United States. Pulse oximeters can also determine one's heart rate, which is essential for cardiovascular workouts and a pulse oximeter can help people accomplish this while walking and jogging.
With a fingertip pulse oximeter, it is possible to monitor blood oxygen level. They also have additional benefits including the ability to measure carbon dioxide intake and are critical for people who are concerned about their health during workouts, or their oxygen intake in compromised locations such as high altitudes or areas where carbon monoxide release is a problem.
Pulse oximeters and finger pulse oximeters (which attach to the finger) have many uses, and the USA market for pulse oximeters and finger pulse oximeters has seen increased demand every year due to awareness about the benefits of pulse oximeters in oximetry.
The biggest benefit of these devices are that they are noninvasive, meaning they do not require any penetration of the skin or actual contact with blood. They use LED infrared light to "look" into the finger and can measure the oxygen level using only this LED.
The pulse oximeters have been in use for 30 years. They are safe and is a medically proven method to determine blood oxygenation. Pulse oximeters are medically accepted methods of monitoring oxygenation and carbon monoxide levels for workouts or for volatile environments.
The average person may ask "what is an oximeter?", and have no interest in oximetry, but for those consumers or medical specialists who understand the need to monitor pulse rate during workouts or oxygen levels in a volatile environment, these devices are important. The oximeters and specifically the pulse oximeter is a pulse monitor that measures oxygen saturation - specifically called pulse ox oximeter or "pulse finger" technology. A portion of the international and United States population uses the fingertip oximeter because of their health concerns, or to measure how their body is reacting to a potentially hostile environment that has volatile oxygen levels or potentially hazardous carbon monoxide levels.
