Fingertip Pulse Oximeter and Oxygen Meter CMS50DLP with Soft Case
Great little device for the money. Came with a case and cord lanyard. Turns itself off when done. Only issue is, printed writing on screen is small and you have to check twice to ensure pulse and oxygen level readings are not confused, especially when they are similar results.ie 92 pulse and 96 sats

I bought this to check patients’ sats quickly and easily. It is small and easy to use, but I have found that where O2 sats are less than about 96% (i.e when you actually need a reliable result), it will not settle on a reading, and the numbers it goes between show great variation. It’s ok for showing a patients sats are definitely OK, but no good for the patients you are worried about.

I used this the day it arrived and its a small and useful piece of equipment. The protective case is good and just about pocket sized.
The only gripe was it took a while to get a reading but with a bit of experimentation this was traced to blood on the testee’s finger, easily cured by wiping it clean before use.
Other times it produced a quick and accurate reading which we tested against other equipment that cost alot more money and found to be accurate.
Well worth the money.

I have been using this for a week now. It is true that when the SaO2 is 90 or higher, this device is very precise. It does not show absolutely wrong results when below 90, too, but in these occasions I prefer to check SaO2 with the equipment of the department (the range was +/- 1-2%). I find this device very helpful to keep in pocket (I find the soft case it comes with useful) when going to see my patients.
I have not had problems with messing the value of pulse with SaO2.
I think that the oximeter will prove itself even better because I have the experience of using it only for a week.
Hope this review helps.

This oximeter is excellent. Right out of the box useable. To get the best, make sure that you fit it right – fingernail needs to be on the same side as the viewing window with your finger tip just touching the internal ramp. Keep your arm still, but not rigid and within a few seconds you’ll get your pulse and SpO2 percentage. If the SpO2 varies over several seconds, check the bar graph, this should pulse bottom-to-top at the same rate as the pulse – if it jitters, only goes part way, then either the batteries are duff or you have not fitted it right.
Very useful if you suffer from COPD, heart failure, etc and you feel unusually unwell – check your O2, if it is low (say under 90%) call your doctor for advice: if a low reading is accompanied by pain in the chest, left arm or jaw, dial 999 – you may be having a heart attack.
Great little item.
