technologies led to a five hour delay instrument for covid patience. reporter: it is used in every emergency center in america, the pulse oximeter, the device painlessly measures the amount of oxygen in your blood. >> the technology itself appears to be flawed and does not take into account skin tone. >> she is the ceo of roots community health clinic. she co-authored the paper published in the journal of epidemiology that highlighted inaccuracies in the pulse ox devices and the alarming impacts. >> we think of the tools being unbiased and objective. when we found out the tool was biased and showing readings in the more range more frequently for darker skinned people when in fact there -- their oxy was in the below normal range it is devastating. reporter: think back to the

early days of the pandemic, when hospitals were overflowing with covid patience, the oxygen reading determined if they received supplemental oxygen that was in scarce supply. >> the oxygen reading in the blood determined your treatment trajectory for covid. reporter: she serves as -- she joined the doctor as a co-author, chief -- she saw these impacts firsthand working in the er. >> to see someone in front of my face who looks to be working harder to breathe, seems to be sicker than what i see in front of me, that is a tough mind game to play. on a daily basis. reporter: both doctors believe the devices potentially contributed to the higher covid death rates for black patients over white patients. take alameda county were black people died of covid and nearly twice the rate of white people. >> there is no doubt in my mind this faulty device has led to

death. reporter: they are calling on the vice many factors to improve inaccuracies for darker skinned patients. since the devices are sold direct consumer at local drugstores to one people those inaccuracies or else. reporter: are you willing to go to court to block these manufacturers from selling these devices in california? >> absolutely. we know this has to be fixed. lary: we reached out to the 12 leading men of this device -- many factors of this device. we have only heard from two of them, they are saying in part that there can -- committed to improve -- cvs responded saying they are closely monitoring fda guidance regarding pulse oximeter's and coordinating as proposing --

proposals for new standards emerge. kristen: i understand, when comes to ai, when you are training at for facial recognition sometimes it enacted accurate because they do not see enough black images or darker skin tones. in this case, what is the technology that is not reading darker skin? lary: it has to do with the melanin, it is shooting light into the skin to capture oxygen. because of the greater amount of melon and an darker skin toned patients, the technology is not there to capture the most accurate readings possible. early on in the pandemic wind hospital beds were full, if -- when hospital beds were full come at 94% or below in your oxygen reading you are admitted to the hospital. that 1% meant everything. >> you would think there is a device we can move the dial one way or another and adjusted so different skin tones get

different kind of care. >> hopefully someday. >> thank you, julian. >> the twitter fire sale is over,
