Astonishingly bad deal, cheaping out on a chinese oximeter is crazy
A low pulse oximeter reading was what convinced the doctor to call an ambulance for my wife, who turned out to have pneumonia. We weren't issued it by the caring NHS, I had bought it from a charity shop. The doctor used his own, when he visited, but was in no way dismissive of my taking frequent readings with my own, and it was my readings that showed her sudden decline.
Of course it should; that's the very definition of a deal. Price is only part of the story- theres a difference between something being cheap and something being good value
good for people who have chronic lung diseases.
Even on price though, it is a poor deal. compare Amazon
Every 1 is doctor in here!
Valid points, but obviously taken in tandem with chest auscletation and a good look at your wife! Treat the patient not the numbers! A pulse oximeter alone is of **** all value. For instance, why are sats low? It's not all about oxygenation. Raynaulds and other circulatory problems will give low oximetry. Nail polish will also do it, etc!
The doctor didn't visit, look at my wife, auscletate her chest, or anything else. Not at that time. When I called, alarmed by my latest reading, which was very low in a series of readings, he phoned the ambulance immediately. This would not have happened if I had not had my own oximeter. He might well not have come out if I had called, as he had moaned about having been called out before, even though he had diagnosed and prescribed for a chest infection, and in any case, without the reading, I might not have been prompted to call.
But please yourself. You have articulated many plausible reasons not to own one of these devices, so you will have the comfort of logic when one of your own becomes ill.
Yeah I was not meaning this particular item being good or not I mean people debating using one at all and voting cold/hot based on that.
Blood glucose monitors are medical devices and must conform to the medical devices directive and the in vitro diagnostics directive. Thats how they get their CE mark for sale on the European market. They have to demonstrate a whole range of performance characteristics before they can be marketed.
This, on the other hand, is a cheap chinese toy and should be thrown in the bin
