Why are my oxygen readings unexpectedly high on the Oxford Optronix Measuring Instruments?
- JJanet FloresAug 16, 2025
Unexpectedly high oxygen readings from your Oxford Optronix Measuring Instruments could be due to several reasons: * If used in vivo, ensure a better oxygen seal by using a ‘purse stitch’ around the point of introduction or by positioning the sensor a little further into the tissue. * Once the tissue re-closes around the sensor, the surplus oxygen will be consumed and normal readings will resume thereafter. * If the subject is being artificially respired using pure oxygen, the tissue pO2 can exceed normal levels. * If the compensated temperature is less than the actual temperature at the measurement site then the reported oxygen reading will be greater than the true pO2.
