Introduction to the FORA Pulse Oximeter

Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive method for monitoring blood oxygen saturation. It detects even small changes in oxygen levels. The point of measuring these levels is to determine how efficiently blood is carrying oxygen from the heart to the extremities, i.e. fingertips and toes. The FORA Fingertip Pulse Oximeter works by measuring the absorption of red and infrared light, which passes through perfused tissue. Changes in absorption indicate shifts in saturation levels and pulse rates. The oximeter comes with Bluetooth connectivity, enabling easy pairing with the iFORA O2 app, and improving sleep apnea at home. The app integrates with the oximeter and intelligent Cloud Analysis System to help you find the best treatment. It provides an easy and accurate way to analyse the quality of your sleep

FAQs about the FORA Pulse Oximeter

What do I need a pulse oximeter for? Monitoring how well your heart pumps blood through your body is an excellent way to monitor heart and lung conditions. It also helps determine how effective supplemental oxygen therapy is, especially when treatment is new, and evaluates whether a person momentarily stops breathing while sleeping, like sleep apnea.

How does a pulse oximeter actually work? The fingertip pulse oximeter determines functional oxygen saturation of arterial haemoglobin by measuring the absorption of red and infrared light passing through perfused tissue. Changes in absorption caused by the pulsation of blood in the vascular bed are used to determine oxygen saturation and pulse rate.
