Braun YK-81CEU Fingertip Pulse Oximeter 1 with Lanyard and Batteries

The Braun YK-81CEU Fingertip Pulse Oximeter 1 is a portable medical device designed to measure blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate non-invasively. It clips comfortably onto a fingertip, using light-based technology to assess how well oxygen is being carried throughout the body. This makes it a valuable tool for individuals wanting to monitor their respiratory health or fitness levels from home. The device is intended for adult use and provides quick, on-demand readings. Key features include a simple one-button operation for ease of use and a clear OLED back-lit display that rotates six ways, allowing the results to be viewed from any angle. It is powered by two included AAA batteries and features an automatic shut-off function after eight seconds of inactivity to conserve power. The unit comes with a lanyard for convenient carrying and portability. Its design is calibrated for adult fingers to ensure reliable readings, and it meets the ISO 80601-2-61 standard for medical electrical equipment, indicating a level of clinical accuracy. This oximeter is well-suited for adults, particularly those managing conditions like COPD, pneumonia, or sleep apnea, who wish to track their oxygen levels regularly. It is also useful for athletes monitoring their performance and recovery. For accurate readings, it should be used while stationary, as movement can affect results. The device does not store previous readings or connect to smartphones, so users need to manually record their data if they wish to track trends over time.
