HealthTreeInfant Handheld Pulse Oximeter Oxygen Monitor Fingertip for Adult Baby, Rechargeable Oximeter with Overnight Continuous, Alarm

The media could not be loaded. I love home health equipment for use to monitor in a proactive manner. Much like having a blood pressure monitor, or a weight scale, having an oximeter is very useful. Get to know your baseline, and then if an illness or something seems off, any different information can be incredibly helpful for sharing with medical professionals.I also use fitness trackers with similar features, but wanted a more robust product for measuring anytime rsather than only overnight.It has bluetooth capability. One review said it didnt. It does. You have to pair with with your phone and then use through an app (healthtree) you have to install. YOU DONT HAVE TO install app or connect phone to use this. This feature is only if you want to keep a data record. Also helpful if you have multiple users that are also wanting to do same thing.Out of box is pretty easy to set up. You can use the stand for charging or just plug cable directly into phone. You will have to supply your own wall adaptor. To use the charging base, take the tiny USB head (not attached to a cord) and plug it into the bottom of oximeter. The portion that kind of sticks out is magnetized so when you place it on base it creates a connection for charging. One of the longer videos showed the guy sticking this connector down in the base then forcing the device down on top. Then when he took it off base, the connector was clearly shown still attached to the device. The connector is meant to live in the device, not the base.Connect the finger cord. I think it is long enough for most applications. Perhaps a longer cord would be useful, I am not sure. Maybe if I were trying to sleep with it. Everyone will have their preferences regarding that. I am good with what we've got here for my needs.There is also a silicone protective cover. This adds really good grip.From there, the controls are (to me) user intuitive. There is the typical on/off, up/down, then there are menus. Really, just play around with it. I have not had a desire to keep track of my readings at this time. I just wanted something that was going to measure my oxygen at any time I wish to check it. I rarely get sick, but have been sick 2x in 2024, pretty much back-to-back as it is only March. It was mostly in my lungs, which made me concerned. THEN I have an elderly friend who is always on oxygen, and she uses the battery operated finger ones. I tried it but it didnt seem consistent. I then started researching what styles of oximeters are best, and kept coming across this style where you can do continuous readings, keep track, and that there are alarms and such. I figured I would spring for a fancier model. If I like it, I may have my friend try it.I'm not using the alarms, but it can be greatly helpful for those that have a medical condition where it is vital to keep track of levels. Smart feature.Volume is good. I have mine turned down or off.Overall the display is easy to read. I am sure that will vary from person to person.Im going with 5 stars. It meets or exceeds my expectations, and while I dont rate on price, I found this to be reasonable for the style of monitor it is. WIthin range of others of similar style. Will update if need be.

I actually got this when one of my family members finished having surgery and needed to monitor her O2 saturation. So far this device has worked out okay. It definitely has more features than those simple finger ones. I compared it to the one in the doctors office and it is definitely similar but probably not as good as those ones on the doctors office. Regardless it gives pretty accurate reading which means it is pretty accurate. The first thing about this is that this does have battery so it can be something you can take on the go. You also have a charging cradle if you want to plug it in. It stands up as well so you can easily see the readings when you need it. The finger cuff is pretty comfortable. The connector is not bad. I am not entirely sure what the actual connector is called. It looks like a VGA but with less pins in it. The connector is pretty secure of the most part. I would say just make sure not to yank it sideways or anything. It is pretty simple to read. There are different interfaces to make it easier to read when you are sitting close by or needing to step away. The battery does make it nicer to travel with. It is not loud or does not get very hot. The finger tip piece does need to wiped down every so often as dirt can build up and you do not get good reading. The clamp is not super tight but it holds well on the finger. It does have speakers on it as well. The charging port is just a simple usb cable. It is nothing too fancy. The buttons are simple but it can be a little confusing to navigate. The print I feel may actually wear down over time. It is compact and easy to hold in your hand. Overall this is a good device to have if you one need a bit of a constant monitoring of your O2 and BP. It is pretty accurate and the fact it runs on a battery makes it easy to carry around as needed. The battery life on this varies based on how long you want to use it for. I did use it for a few hours and it did not show any signs of losing power super fast nor did the low battery effect the reading as much. The device can be a little annoying to learn but the viewing interface is pretty simple to read. You can adjust it accordingly. The display is not super bright so it is not annoying if you are trying to use this and sleep. It clips on well without any discomfort. The cradle is also nice to plug in and charge. The only thing I will say is to not yank on the connector too much as it may cause the pins to bend.

It took me a while to write this review.We used this for hospice. It was an amazing product up until it failed at a critical time. It allows you to program alert ranges with alarms. It is easy to read and understand. It has great accuracy (until it doesn't). The finger clip stayed on comfortably throughout the night.The issue was when he started dying it spiked up and the machine was not showing what his body was showing. I grabbed a second, portable pulse ox and applied it to another finger. The readings were different. You could visibly see his lips turning blue, but this machine was reading a good pulse and pulse ox. It took away the focus of his last moments because I was trying to reconcile his appearance with what the machine was saying. The nurse commented that she was very frustrated that this machine was giving false information which made it appear he was improving when he was actually dying. The other pulse ox machine did read his decline accurately.I am grateful for what this machine offered while it was working properly. It gave a great peace of mind and helped me sleep knowing the alarm would sound if anything happened. Unfortunately, the failure at the end took away from my final moments with my husband.
