Hemoglobin Bassett Produces Low Pulse Oximeter and Co-oximeter Readings

Variant hemoglobins can have altered oxygen affinity and can produce changes in oximeter readings. We present a case of hemoglobin Bassett, a possible cause of low pulse oximeter and co-oximeter readings in a 63-year-old woman.
