 A Real Life-Saver! February 20, 2008

Recently, my mother was put on oxygen. She was told to keep a close eye on her oxygen level, and to keep track of what it ran so sh could inform her doctor. We called several medical supply places locally, but all of them wanted over $300 for an Oximeter. My mother is on a fixed income, so we were beginning to loose hope when I decided to look here on Amazon. I was worried because a lot of the Oximeters were still so expensive. Then I found this one. It was less expensive then the rest, but seemed to still have all the bells and whistles as the more expensive ones.
Since getting This meter, my mother and I have beenoverjoyed. Now she can be more independant, and is able to see when her oxygen is too low. It's really a wonderful product. I'm glad I ordred it. The oeration is simple, and the screen is large enough that even I can read it, despite my vision problems.
Overall, it's a wonderful product. I couldn't ask for more!

My mom was in the hospital for 40 days about 4 weeks ago. Her oxygen level and pulse was something that has to be watched closely. When she got home I was worried about her oxygen and pulse so I went onto Amazon and found this oximeter. The next day I was talking to a family member who is a physical therapist for a home health nursing facility. She was telling me how she has been wanting one of these but could not afford to pay what most places were asking for them. I told her about finding one for 70.00 and she said when you order one order me one too. I ordered them the next day and they were sent within a few days to our door. We use them everyday and it has given me and my family peace of mind. My family member that I ordered one for said that she tested her agaist the machines at work and that they were dead on accurate. We are very pleased and would like to say thank you for making them affordable.

I had considered purchasing a Pulse ox for several years for home use. But all of our doctors said that "if you are wondering about your oxygen saturation, come to the office or call 911." Well, we had a family member come home from the hospital on oxygen. We knew the need for oxygen would last only a few days. The medical supply company came to deliver the oxygen right away, but they don't rent out pulse oximeters! They would sell me one for $300, but it would take 2 weeks to arrive. Very frustrating. So I purchased the Octive Tech 300C from Amazon. It works well and gives readings that matched the readings taken in the doctor's office. It clearly will NOT take a lot of abuse, but it get's the job done. When I admited the purchase to the doctor, I told him that it would probably just increase my phone calls to his office. He laughed.
Then we discussed the signs and symptoms of respiratory distress, which are really more important than the reading on the meter. But I have much more peace of mind knowing I have my own meter now.
Update 05-07-2009: Oximeter is still working just fine after one year.

Couldn't believe the price but decided to try it.
Took it to my Doctors office and it read exactly the same as their big $$$$ unit!
Great little device. August 7, 2008

Recently, my husband was hospitalized for a "breathtaking" upper respiratory infection which conflicted his breathing capabilities. He was in a rehab unit for a month for pulmonary rehab. Each day while he was working out, they used a pulse oximeter to determine his oxygen levels and heart rate. (In addition to COPD - he also has congestive heart failure.) We purchased one of these units to monitor his levels after he was released. Actually, I had misgivings about the unit due to its low cost relative to other units available - thinking that the low price would mean it was ineffective. Because it was shown as being approved by the FDA, I did purchase it and have to say that we are very satisfied with it and have tested its accuracy with units in the pulmonary physician's office. My husband would like to wean himself off the oxygen he now requires and we use this unit as he does his exercises at home to determine if his breathing or heart function become compromised. Our experience with the unit has been very positive.
