text: However, because deoxyhemoglobin (HHb) still absorbs red light better than either carboxy-Hb (COHb) or O2Hb, the reduction in deoxyhemoglobin (HHb) in the presence of carboxyhemoglobinemia results in a net effect of decreased red light absorption and R that is reduced more than predicted (see Figure 4C), resulting in SpO2 that overestimates the fractional oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb) content (FO2Hb), which is also measured by co-oximeters but in contrast to SaO2, takes into account COHb concentrations.
