Pulse Oximeters - Medical and Hospital Equipment

Portable pulse oximeters measure peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate using a non-invasive optical sensor. They are used in shipboard hospitals, sick bays, offshore platforms, and emergency medical response kits.

ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Pulse Oximeters for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification	Applicable standards commonly include IEC 60601-1 for basic safety, IEC 60601-1-2 for electromagnetic compatibility, and ISO 80601-2-61 for pulse oximeter equipment. Certification depends on the specific model and market.
Class Approval	Individual portable pulse oximeters are not generally type-approved by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV, or ClassNK. Acceptance onboard may depend on flag-state medical requirements, vessel medical inventory specifications, and the manufacturer's regulatory approvals.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	No fixed installation is normally required. Insert approved batteries, connect the correct sensor, and verify operation using the manufacturer's procedure. Keep the device accessible in the ship sick bay or medical locker.
Maintenance Tips	Inspect the housing, display, cable, and sensor before use. Clean and disinfect according to the manufacturer's instructions. Replace damaged sensors and batteries, and perform functional checks or calibration verification at the recommended intervals.
Safety Notes	Use only approved sensors and accessories. Confirm adequate peripheral perfusion and correct sensor placement; motion, low perfusion, nail products, ambient light, and carbon monoxide exposure can affect readings. Do not use the reading as the sole basis for diagnosis or treatment.
