Classification Notes

Fingertip pulse oximeters measuring SpO2 and heart rate are classified under 9018.19. Handheld pulse oximeters used in clinical settings are also 9018.19. Smart rings and fitness trackers with SpO2 sensors are classified as wearables under the essential character rule — typically 8542 or 8517 for connected devices. The oximeter reading functionality alone does not move a consumer device from electronics to medical instruments unless it is specifically designed and certified as a medical device.
