Compact, Self-Contained Fingertip Design
The CMS-50DL fingertip pulse oximeter is a compact, self-contained device that integrates the SpO2 probe, processing module and display into a single fingertip unit. Its lightweight construction and simple one-step operation make it accessible for use across hospital wards, home healthcare, community medical treatment programmes and sports performance monitoring, wherever a quick, accurate SpO2 and pulse rate reading is required without the complexity or cost of a larger handheld device.
SpO2 and Pulse Rate Measurement
The CMS-50DL measures oxygen saturation across a range of 35-99% with a resolution of 1% and an accuracy of ±2% in the clinically relevant range of 70-99%. Pulse rate is measured from 30 to 250 bpm with a resolution of 1 bpm and an accuracy of ±2 bpm or ±2% (whichever is larger), covering the full range from bradycardia through high-intensity exercise heart rates. Both SpO2 and pulse rate are displayed simultaneously on the LED screen, with a bargraph providing a visual representation of pulse strength.
Display, Battery Life and Availability in South Africa
The LED display presents SpO2 percentage, pulse rate and a pulse bargraph in a clear, easy-to-read format. Low battery voltage indication alerts the user before power is fully depleted, and an automatic power-off function conserves battery when the device is not in use. The integrated design, with the probe, processor and display in one unit measuring 57 × 33 × 32mm, means no cables or separate sensors to manage. The CMS-50DL runs on a standard DC battery (2.6V-3.6V) with a continuous use time exceeding 30 hours, making it practical for sustained monitoring across a shift or extended home use without frequent battery replacement. Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the CMS-50DL suits hospital wards, home healthcare and community medical treatment programmes.
