Portable pulse oximeters
Portable pulse oximeters are vital for measuring oxygen saturation levels and pulse rates, providing crucial data for patient monitoring. The PCBs in these devices, typically flexible PCBs (FPCs) or lightweight, thin substrates, are designed to keep the device compact and portable. These specialized PCBs ensure low power consumption, allowing extended operation without frequent recharges. Despite their small size, they deliver stable and reliable performance, essential for accurate readings in various settings, from clinical environments to home monitoring. This reliability is particularly important during continuous use, ensuring that both patients and healthcare providers can trust the device’s measurements.
