User Manual for Wrist Oximeter 9 Appendix A Common Knowledge for SpO Measurement 1 Meaning of SpO is the saturation percentage of oxygen in the blood, so called O concentration in the blood; it is defined by the percentage of oxyhemoglobin (HbO ) in the total hemoglobin of the arterial blood.
Page 38
User Manual for Wrist Oximeter passes. Due to that oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO ) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) have different absorption character in the spectrum range from red to infrared light (600nm~1000nm wavelength), using these characteristics, SpO can be determined. SpO measured by this oximeter is the functional oxygen saturation -- a percentage of the hemoglobin that can transport oxygen.
