Vet: make sure you turn on the beep-beep! Tech:..... The what? .... Tech Asst: Oh! The thing that goes on the tongue!! The pulse oximeter. It send a a flashing light signal from one side of a clamp through a tongue or finger/toe or ear, and based on the time and strength of the light when it hits the receiver on the other side of the clamp, it can measure pulse, respiratory rate, and amount of oxygen saturation in the blood. It also beeps in conjunction with the heart rate. The "beep-beep" machine.
