Pulse Oximeter (Fingertip) in South Africa
Leading Pulse Oximeter (Fingertip) Supplier

A fingertip pulse oximeter is a compact, non-invasive medical device designed to accurately measure two critical physiological parameters: blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. Utilizing advanced photoplethysmography (PPG) technology, it shines specific wavelengths of light through a fingertip and analyzes the absorption patterns. Oxygenated haemoglobin absorbs near-infrared light differently than deoxygenated haemoglobin, allowing the device to calculate the percentage of haemoglobin carrying oxygen. Simultaneously, it detects the pulsatile flow of blood, enabling the measurement of heart rate.

These devices are indispensable tools in modern healthcare, providing real-time, objective data essential for patient monitoring and assessment. Their portability and ease of use make them suitable for a wide range of clinical settings.

In South Africa, fingertip pulse oximeters are indispensable tools across a wide spectrum of healthcare settings. Their portability, ease of use, and non-invasive nature make them ideal for rapid and continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. From large tertiary and teaching hospitals to smaller community clinics and even mobile healthcare units, these devices play a crucial role in patient assessment and management. They are particularly vital in departments dealing with respiratory conditions, cardiac issues, critical care, and anaesthesia.

While our fingertip pulse oximeters are designed for immediate use, a few key considerations ensure optimal performance and longevity in your South African medical facility. We provide comprehensive guidance to ensure a smooth integration into your existing workflow.

When sourcing fingertip pulse oximeters for your South African healthcare facility, understanding the price landscape is crucial for effective budget management. The cost can vary significantly depending on whether you opt for brand-new devices or refurbished units, and also influenced by the brand, specific features, and the supplier.

For new fingertip pulse oximeters, you can generally expect prices to range from approximately R800 to R3,500 ZAR. Higher-end models with advanced features, superior accuracy, and robust build quality will fall at the upper end of this spectrum. Factors like included accessories (e.g., carrying cases, batteries) and warranty periods can also impact the final price.

Refurbished fingertip pulse oximeters offer a more budget-friendly alternative, typically costing between R400 to R1,500 ZAR. These units have been previously used, thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and restored to full working order, often with a limited warranty. While they represent excellent value, it's essential to source refurbished equipment from reputable suppliers who guarantee the quality and functionality of their devices.

It's always advisable to obtain quotes from multiple trusted medical equipment suppliers across South Africa to compare pricing and ensure you are getting the best value for your specific needs.
