Hi

Simple, cheap and effective.

I have had one for sometime.

They do work.

Re: Pulse Oximitor.

Agree.

Re: Pulse Oximitor.

I was given one for Christmas along with an Infrared Forehead thermometer..

Re: Pulse Oximitor.

I've had mine for a few years as well as a nebuliser and oxygen concentrator all of which were put to very good use when the horrid Chinese virus came and smote my wife and myself. That lot together with my methasone inhaler saw us through to come out the other side.

Re: Pulse Oximitor.

off topic but how are you swimmy?

Hi

Officially dying, nothing more they can do.

That is not going to happen however, I am an awkward sod.

I do not die easily.

I am at home, with the right equipment and drugs and intelligent enouth to self monitor and a contact number to alter my drugs.

The only problem is by favourite hobby of watching Nicole Kidman flashing her bits.

That sets off my alarms.

I can take it.

I am not going in, I would be in ITU and surrounded by Covid Patients at high risk of infection.

That is not going to happen

Re: Pulse Oximitor.

Gosh LongDriver, you have my sympathies.


Good to hear both you and your wife saw the virus off and hope you are both fully recovered.

Re: Pulse Oximitor.

Yes thanks, we are reasonably fine now, but there are still some after effects such as breathlessness for my wife and that is usual for me as I've put up with that for years from my COPD/asthma. We were unable to definitively tested by NHS routes, so we paid for private antibody testing with the results, positive, we've both had the virus with definite antibodies. That test was at least 6 months ago so I do wonder if we still have any left :shrug:

Re: Pulse Oximitor.

I bought one of those Pulse Oximitors and my left hand gives a reading in the nineties but my right hand gives a reading in the eighties. Is this common or is the oximitor faulty? I know the reading should be in the upper nineties.
