If you take a look at the technical specifications and you see "sensirion" or "senseair" as company or anything which mentions "NDIR" or "Photoacoustic" you are pretty much good. There are differences in accuracy but for most purposes they are all accurate enough.

Optics and Photonics News – Photoacoustic scans detect early signs of heart disease
Germany-based researchers are developing a photoacoustic scanning method to detect early warning signs of cardiovascular disease in the tiniest blood vessels under a patient's skin (Light Sci. Appl., doi:10.1038/s41377-025-02103-6). The technology, called fast raster-scanning photoacoustic mesoscopy, uses pulses of laser light at a wavelength of 532 nm to generate ultrasound signals that bounce off blood vessels in the skin. This method produces images of individual capillaries in different layers of the skin, revealing how certain medical conditions can affect these capillaries differently. What tiny blood vessels reveal According to medical scientists, the development of high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and diabetes occur in small blood vessels before they occur in large arteries and veins.

I'm so glad i misunderstood this. I went down a rabbit hole and it turns out there are researchers working on laser haptics using the photoacoustic effect.
