Pulse Oximeter Manufacturing & Wireless Telemetry for Ventilation Oxygen Support

Öz Pulse Oximeter devices are widely used as a non-invasive method for instant monitoring of blood oxygen saturation and heart rate. In this paper, a wireless microcontroller based pulse oximeter is proposed to measure the oxygen delivered to the patient via the oxygen flowmeter. In the first step, the signals received from reusable SpO2 sensor (finger probe) are processed by a microcontroller to determine the blood oxygen saturation and heart rate. Depending on the current blood oxygen saturation value, wireless signals are sent to the non-invasive ventilation flow meter vacuum regulator to deliver the necessary oxygen into the patient. Oxygen supplied to the patient is automatically controlled according to the oxygen saturation change.
