Actual medical pulse oximeters connected to a dedicated monitor have a waveform, this tells you directly if it’s a good reading. If it’s a bad wave form, you aren’t getting a good reading, change fingers probes use an ear lobe etc etc. point being this is a known issue and is addressed and assessed any time it’s in use.
Ok, thanks for that. I was in the hospital for a kidney stone during the plandemic, and of course, was required to wear a mask when in the ER. I was connected to the pulse ox meter and used the opportunity to test the effect of masks on pulse ox. I found that I had about 5% lower blood oxygen levels when wearing the mask!
