FAQs
What is a pulse oximeter?
Pulse oximeters measure light absorption in the finger to noninvasively monitor oxygen saturation and pulse rate. Fingertip pulse oximeters are being increasingly used for general wellness and health applications including sports, fitness, and relaxation management. Developed by Masimo, the leading brand of hospital pulse oximeters¹, the MightySat fingertip pulse oximeter provides accurate blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate measurements when other pulse oximeters fail.
Why should I buy MightySat over other fingertip pulse oximeters?
Multiple companies have introduced low-priced, battery-powered “fingertip” pulse oximeters to the consumer market. In some circumstances, these products may provide inaccurate measurements or no measurements at all. This often occurs when there is low blood flow to the finger (such as when the fingers are cold) or during hand movement (even with minimal motion such as shaking). In addition, many of the products on the market are of low quality and do not interface with smartphones to store, manage, and share data.
What technology is behind the MightySat and iSpO2®?
Masimo Corporation originally developed Signal Extraction Technology® (SET®) for clinical use but it now is available for general wellness and health applications including sports, fitness, and relaxation management. Masimo SET® uses five parallel signal processing engines that measure through challenging conditions, including movement and low blood flow.
How can I use the information MightySat and iSpO2 provide?
Is there a pediatric probe attachment for this product?
Is intended for spot-checking on people who weigh more than 30 kg / 66 lb.
