Pulse oximeters are devices that measure blood oxygen saturation transcutaneously using light-emitting diodes to illuminate arterial tissue, with the reflected light detected and analysed using spectrophotometry. They are used for non-invasive spot check measurement of oxygen saturation and pulse rate in patients at rest.
