I am late to the party again on this one.Originally posted by jayn200 View PostLol I'm ignorant? Maybe you're ignorant?...
I have a pulse oximeter at home. I know what it is.
Sorry if my grammar wasn't perfectly on point, I am not british.
A pulse oximeter is a nice thing, I got mine for 7.99 on amazon and an an overtly lovely 7.99 well spent it was.
HOWEVER a pulse oximeter IS A ONE TRICK PONY. To both quote and paraphrase the late Stuart Baggs if you need a pulse oximeter you actually need a field full of differently tricked ponies because the one trick pony that is a pulse oximeter on its own will not cut it. My tool of choice is a half decent doctor who knows what they are doing. Finding one of those these days is very difficult.Former IPSE member

As someone who jets off to climb at high altitude I would be wary of such a cheap device. When I bought my pulse oximeter it was the brand the hospital doctors were using. It was £60 or so fifteen years ago. It would be best to look at current recommendations and also try it on two fingers of both hands to take the lowest reading provided. With your health condition it is best to aim to minimise the chance of error.Originally posted by courtg9000 View PostI am late to the party again on this one.

Might be good idea to upgrade
The prices have actually risen steeply for these I suppose owing to Covid the exact one I have is now nearly £28! now on Amazon.Former IPSE member
