HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I think you must be asking for oxymetre,, look this device is not routinely required when patients becomes hypoxic then and then this device taken in to uses, still if you are using this device then the saturation level of the oxygen should be remained between 95 to 98 % have nice day.
