title: The accuracy of pulse oximeters. A comparative clinical evaluation of five pulse oximeters.
abstract: The accuracy of five commercially available pulse oximeters was compared against arterial blood oxygen saturation, under similar clinical conditions. The oximeters had very similar performance in the clinically useful range of 80-100%, with a tendency slightly to underestimate the true saturation.
