It’s important to know your heart rate; with the Beurer PO30 Pulse Oximeter you will get quick and accurate readings wherever you are.
You could be an athlete or a desk-bound office worker; whatever your profession is or how you spend your day, it is important to have knowledge about your heart rate and fitness level. Monitoring your heart rate can help you spot and even prevent dangerous health problems; the Beurer PO30 Pulse Oximeter is a small and light finger pulse oximeter that accurately determines your heart rate and oxygen saturation whether you’re at home or on the go.
What is heart rate (pulse)?
Your heart rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute; this is different for every person and knowing yours could be incredibly important to your health. As we get older, the rate and regularity of our heart beat can change and it could signify a heart condition that needs to be focussed on. The Beurer PO30 pulse oximeter can quickly provide results of your heart rate whether it is for short term use or for continuous use; the pulse oximeter will give you clear readings of the measurements for you to monitor.
You can also check your pulse by using your fingers and counting the number of beats in 60 seconds, the other places you can find your pulse are on your wrists, inside of your elbow, the side of your neck and at the top of your foot. Checking your pulse manually isn’t always accurate and can be quite challenging, the Beurer PO30 pulse oximeter does it all for you simple and easily.
What is oxygen saturation (Sp0₂)?
Oxygen saturation indicates the percentage of haemoglobin in the arterial blood that is loaded with oxygen; haemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. Those who have low oxygen saturation value are likely to experience symptoms such as shortness of breath, increased heart rate, weakness, nervousness and outbreaks of sweating. If you suffer with these symptoms and you are unsure as to why, the Beurer PO30 could help you find the answer.
Who should use the Beurer PO30 Pulse Oximeter?
It is essential if you suffer with heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, bronchial asthma or any other heart related or respiratory problems, that you regularly monitor your heart rate. Keeping on top of your heart rate measurements can help you avoid life-threatening situations and help to improve your health.
If you are an athlete or take part in high altitude sports such as mountaineering and skiing, the Beurer PO30 pulse oximeter is beneficial for you to understand your heart rate and will help you to develop and improve your fitness level. When you are exercising, the best way to monitor your heart rate and avoid under-training and over-training is to continuously monitor your heart rate through your work out; the Beurer PO30 is compact so you can take it with you to the gym or when you’re out for a run – take note of what your heart rate is when you begin exercising, when you’ve reached your maximum (without causing harm to yourself!) and when you’ve finished; by monitoring your heart rate with the Beurer PO30 pulse oximeter you can get added reassurance that your health is improving.
The Beurer PO30 boasts a large, bright LED display for clearer reading of your measurements. You have the option to select your desired display format (vertical or horizontal) and you can also alter the brightness of the display for a clearer reading. The Beurer PO30 will evaluate your measurements and what classification you are in; whether your SpO₂ is normal, decreased or critical.
On the pulse oximeter’s display; you will see four different views: the oxygen saturation (valued in %), pulse rate (value in beats per minute), pulse wave (plethysmographic wave) and the pulse bar, along with the battery level indicator, all on one display!
The light, compact finger pulse oximeter is easy to operate, comfortable on the finger and is a pain-free, safe and accurate way to monitor your heart rate. The Beurer PO30 is suitable for everyone.

Dr Ellie Cannon Explains the Importance of using a Pulse Oximeter
I don’t tend to lend medical equipment to friends and family. But this time I made an exception. I’m sure this device saved him from hospital admission – and it may even have saved his life.
Called a pulse oximeter or sats probe, it measures the amount of oxygen in the blood. GPs and hospitals use them all the time… With Covid-19 sweeping the nation, I think there should be one in every home because monitoring our blood oxygen can help catch this unpredictable illness before it turns deadly.
I’m not the only one who thinks so – last week experts at Cambridge University made the same plea. Professor Babak Javid, a consultant in infectious diseases, said the tool could help spot early warning signs of the virus, in the absence of face-to-face GP appointments.
