Question
Hi, im looking for a portable oximeter, and not too expensive, that works for a baby of about 1 year old.. Does a finger oximeter will work ok? thanks

Answer

Dear Carlos,

Thank you for your inquiry.  The most important consideration when using a pulse oximeter on an infant are the types of probes/sensors to use.  For patients with sensitive skin, applying and removing adhesives may damage the epidermal tissue and may disrupt the normal barrier function of the skin, leading to increased risk of infection.  Pediatric probes are designed to reduce such risks and most are compatible with the majority of pulse oximeters on the market today.  We advise the use of the following:

Generic Neonatal Disposable Probes for Nellcor Pulse Oximeters

Generic Pediatric Disposable Probes for Nellcor Pulse Oximeter

Nellcor MAX-P Pediatric Adhesive Disposable Sensor

Nellcor SoftCare Neonatal Nonadhesive Disposable Sensors SC-NEO

As for pulse oximeters, the following items will work well for you:

Nellcor N-20 Handheld Pulse Oximeter

The Nellcor N-20 Series Handheld Pulse Oximeters come in three easy-to-use models for quick oxygen saturation and pulse rate assessment. Select the N-20 model with the features you need: the basic N-20; the N-20P with built-in printer; or the N-20PA with printer, audible/ visible alarms and continuous operation.

Nellcor N-30 Handheld Pulse Oximeter

This model has the sophistication of a larger monitor but in a small, versatile handheld unit. It provides continuous monitoring of SpO2 and pulse rate, and is compact enough to fit in the palm of the hand.

Nellcor N-180 Pulse Oximeters

These pulse oximeters provide real-time, continuous, non-invasive measurement of a patients pulse rate and arterial oxygen saturation.  These measurements are updated with each heartbeat.
