LOS ANGELES – BodiMetrics has announced that its circul pro Ring has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a pulse oximeter. The company says the ring’s patented form factor and LED technology make it uniquely designed to accurately measure blood oxygen level on people with any skin tone. “With the recent scrutiny and clinical results highlighting the inaccuracy of some oximeters in darker pigmented skin, the demand for a higher level of performance is greater than ever,” said Neil Friedman, COO of BodiMetrics. “The design, accuracy and reliability of the circul pro Ring is a true testament to its exceptional performance. BodiMetrics is pleased to be able to help address the inherent health inequities resulting from existing products and is proud to have achieved this accomplishment.” Designed to fit snugly on a finger, the ring boasts a patented spring-loaded design and LED sensors that deliver documented accuracy and performance, the company says. The ring's stability and sensor positioning on the underbelly of the finger, or palmar surface, make it possible to collect continuous SpO2 readings for up to 12 hours in both home and hospital settings, regardless of skin tone, it says. The ring’s accuracy in measuring oximetry levels on dark skin pigmentation has been reinforced by a recent peer-reviewed publication in the Mayo Clinic Clinical Proceedings, Digital Health.
