What is SpO2 simulator calibration?
SpO₂ simulator calibration ensures these devices accurately simulate blood oxygen saturation and heart rate for testing pulse oximeters. Calibration involves comparing the simulator’s output against a calibrated reference device, verifying that patient monitoring systems provide reliable and precise measurements for healthcare applications.
Why is calibration important for SpO₂ simulators?
SpO₂ simulators play a crucial role in healthcare, medical device manufacturing, and patient monitoring. Regular calibration ensures:
- Accurate pulse oximeter testing
- Reliable patient diagnosis and treatment
- Quality assurance in medical device production
- Compliance with healthcare safety standards
Without proper calibration, pulse oximeters may provide incorrect oxygen saturation readings, compromising patient care and medical decision-making.
