matter what (exercise) I've been doing so I'm not sure I trust the accuracy. Pulse reading seems to vary by 15%-20% on successive reads. Replacement battery is ~$20 and hard to find (i.e. from Amazon.com I ordered this pulse ox for very occassional use. In one year a hairline crack appear in the case. from Amazon.com I purchased this item so I could monitor my 89-year-old father's oxygen saturation levels. He suffers from congestive heart failure and frequently needs supplemental oxygen. The idea was that a finger pulse oximeter would help me to determine when my father needs additional oxygen. I chose this particular model mostly because it is reasonably priced and supposedly reliable. from Amazon.com I'm a nurse and I use this product at work. I've compared it to more expensive ones at work and it is extremely accurate; very reliable. The only setback is it will not pick up a readiing if the finger is cold. from Amazon.com I've also found this unit difficulty to use and unreliable. Eventually, I had to have the company replace it. from Amazon.com My kids have asthma and I've found this to be so useful. It's accurate even on children, though I need their thumb rather than the index finger. I can tell they are having trouble breathing, but to have some concrete values to report to the doctor really helps, just like telling the doctor what temperature the child has rather than simply that they feel warm. from Amazon.com My wife is a nurse and uses it all the time, I have COPD and I use it to check my O2 stats. Very simple and easy to use. from Amazon.com Product ordered from Pro Therapy Supplies, arrived ahead of schedule (4 days from order date), and has proven to be top notch. It is powered by a long-lasting photo battery instead of a triple A battery, and reveals heart rate as well as blood oxygen level. You "wriggle" your finger into it, and it automatically turns on, and after approximately 10-15 seconds, you have your reading. It turns off when you withdraw your finger. from Amazon.com The device is excellent. I had problems with the vendor, however. from Amazon.com This is a great item, my mom has COPD and she needs to know the o2 and this is a great tool to have. I now feel better that I know her o2. from Amazon.com
