Pulse Oximeter for home use are small, lightweight monitors that painlessly attach to a fingertip to monitor the amount of oxygen carried in the body. An oxygen level of greater than 95% is generally considered to be a normal oxygen level. An oxygen level of 92% or less (at sea level) suggests a low blood oxygen. In addition to oxygen level, pulse rate is also displayed. Normal pulse rate values for adults 60-80 beats per minute. Heart rate can be expected to increase some with exercise and oxygen saturation may slightly decrease
