Timesco C52 Paediatric Fingertip Pulse Oximeter

The Timesco C52 Paediatric Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is designed for monitoring the SpO2 and pulse rate in paediatric patients. The finger placement area is smaller than those on traditional fingertip oximeters to allow for a more effective seal around the child's finger, thus improving the accuracy of the reading.

What's Included?

• 1 x C52 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter
• 1 x Lanyard
• 1 x Carry Case
• 2 x AAA Batteries

How Does the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter Work?

The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is positioned on the end of the patient's finger. Once the power is turned on, it measures the patient's SpO2, or oxygen saturation, as well as the pulse rate and plethysmograph waveform. This information is displayed in clear numbers on the OLED display.

Who Can Use the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter?

The C52 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is designed for use with paediatric patients aged two years and above, and it is also suitable for use with adults who would benefit from a smaller finger placement area. As the finger placement area is smaller than average, it provides a better seal around the child's finger for more reliable reading.

As the Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is operated simply with the touch of a button, it is also suitable for individuals wishing to monitor their own oxygen saturation levels and pulse rate at home. This is particularly useful if a patient has been asked to monitor their own pulse rate over a set period of time in between GP visits. The compact size and carry case make it ideal for doctors who travel between clinics or who work on call, ensuring patients can be assessed without the need for any bulky equipment.

How Easy to Use Is the C52 Oximeter?

With a simple operation and clear display, the C52 Pulse Oximeter provides a simple yet effective way of obtaining information about a patient's SpO2 levels and pulse rate. In addition to the dual-colour OLED screen with adjustable display modes, it also features a pulse bar for a visual representation of the heartbeat and a plethysmograph waveform to measure fluctuations.

What Do the Numbers Mean?

The C52 Pulse Oximeter displays two key numbers: the Sp02 level and the pulse rate. As a normal resting heart rate will differ depending on factors including health and lifestyle, it is best to ask a doctor about what your own pulse rate should be.

However, generally speaking, a normal resting heart rate is around 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm). Normal blood oxygen saturation level is typically around 95% to 100%.

How Long Does Do Fully Charged Batteries Last?

The C52 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is provided with 2 x AAA batteries, which, when fully charged, provide up to 30 hours of continuous use. This is particularly suitable for use in busy medical environments where it's important to ensure that equipment is ready to go should the next patient require it.

The oximeter also features a low power consumption, with an auto power-down function to automatically turn off the device when not in use, further helping to save battery. There is a low power indicator on the screen to ensure that you can charge the oximeter in plenty of time before the batteries fully deplete.
