Oximeter Behavior While Using a Tourniquet

This letter is a case report presenting the behavior of an approved for marketing oximeter device under tourniquet test, while comparing it with another approved for marketing device, the Cnoga TensorTip MTX (this letter is not a clinical trial report). Pulse oximeter is aimed for measuring pulse and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) in the blood.

The Tensor Tip MTX can measure over 15 bio parameters, among them are pulse and oxygen saturation. Pulse oximetry is a noninvasive technique widely used. It was developed during the 1970’s and its main use is to measure the oxygen saturation level of arterial peripheral blood, an indicator of oxygen supply. Conventionally, a pulse oximeter has both a coherent light source, such as a LED, emitting red (660 nm) and infrared (940 nm) light, and a photodiode detector to measure the absorption of light.
