3. Measurement Interpretation
This section contains a guideline on various levels of blood oxygen and heart rate that are within tolerable ranges.
3.1 Oxygen Saturation
Measurement |
Critical |
Notes |
Spo2 > 95% |
N |
Normal healthy individual |
Spo2 91% - 95% |
N |
Clinically acceptable, but low. Patient may be a smoker, or be unhealthy. |
Spo2 70% - 90% |
Y |
Hypoxemia. Unhealthy and unsafe level. |
Spo2 < 70% |
Y |
Extreme lack of oxygen, ischemic diseases may occur. The OctiveTech 300-series of Oximeters is not calibrated to detect readings lower than 70%. |
3.2 Resting Pulse Rate
Measurement |
Critical |
Notes |
PR <40 BMP |
Y |
Below healthy resting heart rates. OctiveTech 300-series does not detect pulse rates lower than 30BMP. |
PR 40-60 BPM |
Y/N |
Resting heart rate for sleeping. |
PR 60-100 BPM |
N |
Healthy adult resting heartrate. |
PR 100 BPM – 220 BPM |
Y |
Acceptable if measured during exercise. Not acceptable if resting heartrate. |
PR > 220 BPM |
Y |
Abnormally high heart rate. The OctiveTech 300-series does not detect heart rates > 254 BPM. |
