India-made Pulse Oximeter named – Oxysat launched

With crisis still looming large, imports being hit due to tensions with China, Indian manufacturers are taking over reins

With the crisis still looming large, and the imports being hit due to tensions with China, Indian manufacturers are taking over the reins. They are investing heavily in infrastructure and recalling migrant workers, in an attempt to tackle this crisis.

Since the demand for Pulse Oximeters have been growing, their price has surged from Rs 3000 to about Rs 4000. Sellers usually attribute the exorbitant prices to foreign imports, and a control on the supply, which further stretches the final retail cost.

Mitocon Biomed has launched India-made Pulse Oximeter named – Oxysat. Pulse Oximeters are used to monitor the blood oxygen levels; a preliminary marker of COVID-19. With social distancing being a virtual reality, this device is turning out to be a literal ‘Suraksha Kavach’ as quoted by Arvind Kejriwal, CM, Delhi.

Oxysat comes with an 18 months replacement warranty. Since the company self-owns the procurement; manufacturing and distribution, it offers quality assurance unlike others.

According to Jinang Dhami, Founder, Mitocon Biomed said, “Quality is the key benchmark for any product – especially healthcare. That has been the motive of Mitocon Biomed since day one. Our Pulse Oximeters go through stringent quality checks before they go into distribution, which enables us to provide better quality assurance than many imported ones.”
