What light wavelength range do most SpO2 sensors utilize?

Pulse Oximeter LED Wavelengths: 660nm & 940nm

Most pulse oximeters utilize two distinct light wavelengths: a red light at approximately 660 nm and a near-infrared light at approximately 940 nm [1][2][3]. These two specific wavelengths are chosen because oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin absorb red and infrared light differently [4], and the pair effectively straddles the hemoglobin isosbestic point near 810 nm [5]. This dual-wavelength setup allows the device to compute arterial oxygen saturation through a ratio of ratios [6].

Would you also like to know why pulse oximeters use two wavelengths instead of just one?Réponse terminée. Une option de suivi est disponible.
