The normal range result of a pulse oximeter is 95% to 100%. Anything lower than that means there's not enough oxygen getting to your body.
Saturation of peripheral oxygen (SpO2) tells the observer or clinician how much oxygen is dissolved in the blood of the subject under observation. And SpO2 is of vital interest as it can alert medical professionals to conditions underlying illness or disease in a patient.
