Pulse oximeters are small electronic medical devices used to measure blood saturation (saturation) and heart rate on their own. The device can be purchased at the pharmacy, it is easy to use, and the test result is visible on the display in just a few seconds. During a COVID-19 pandemic, the pulse oximeter may be useful for patients who have shortness of breath or weakness or who are undergoing oxygen therapy.
