CARBON MONOXIDE OXIMETER

Carbon monoxide oximeters are medical equipment to measures levels of carbon monoxide in samples of patient’s blood. Carbon monoxide oximeters are essential in determining if patient symptoms are a result of exposure to this gas, which is present in automobile exhaust and can be present whenever hydrocarbons are burned.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is potentially fatal, so carbon monoxide oximeters play a vital role in measuring blood levels in patients when this condition is suspected.
