A recent development in the field of medical device technology that has truly transformed the whole concept of portability is the portable pulse oximeter device. A true transformation of the former devices that were first in the military and then they moved into the hospital scene. The original devices were very large and actually were only moved or portable in a very difficult manner that required them to be actually physically picked up and transformed. Then there were a lot of innovations in microchip technology that in essence changed the landscape of the whole situation. These microchips allowed the manufacturers of pulse oximeter devices to build them in such a manner as to make them smaller so that they could be taken everywhere. This truly helped nurses so that they can take the device with them seamlessly without having to worry about any wires or cables. Nurses can now help pediatric patients with various health conditions with their pulse oximeter and help treat them in whatever their needs are.
