There have been advancements in medical device technology over the past decade. In particular, the mobility and portability of medical devices that were historically known as bulky and heavy instruments that couldn’t leave the hospital setting have now been transformed to easily transportable products. This is significant in that there are countless individuals that suffer from ailments that require they monitor their condition constantly. Conditions such as asthma, COPD, and heart arrhythmia are just a few examples of ailments which require constant monitoring. What these new advancements have done is truly put in the hand of individuals the power to monitor their illness wherever they go and to share their results with the physician for proper diagnosis.
An example of a medical device which has been transformed significantly from a large instrument to a device smaller than the size of a pager is a Pulse Oximeter. A pulse oximeter is a small, hand-held medical device that measures the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood as well a patient's heart rate. As opposed to measuring oxygen saturation through an invasive procedure such as a blood sample, a pulse oximeter is used as a painless and non-invasive medical instrument. Because of their ease of use, speed, and cost effectiveness, pulse oximeters are the preferred medical device for home diagnostics as patients can take them wherever they may go.

The FDA approved Landon Medical's PC-60B Digital Finger Pulse Oximeter measures SpO2 (percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood) and pulse rate with accuracy and ease. Specifically manufactured to be lightweight and portable the PC-60B model provides fast and accurate readings of blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, Perfusion Index, and audio/visual alarm functions. Small and compact it provides complete oximetry solutions while still able to fit in your pocket.
The PC-60B Oximeter is a widely used medical device all health-care facilities, including hospitals, nursing homes, outpatient surgery centers, physician offices, dentist offices, emergency and ambulatory situations, sport athletes, as well for home diagnostics for monitoring such illnesses as COPD, cardiac problems, respiratory issues, asthma, and many more.
