das23,

Glad to read that you have several pulse oximeters. I posted the article with the list of the top oximeters since many poorly designed pulse oximeters were advertised during the pandemic. Some of these oximeters were giving incorrect oxygen numbers leading to a delay in seeking treatment.

I have a Zucurate Pro.....a Santa Medical....and one that has no brand name...I usually use the Santa Med. but all three read the same....96-97-98.....Went to the Pulmo Tuesday it was 98.....I'll take it👍
Speaking of the pulmo--I had a good visit. They showed me the Bronchiectasis on the CT scan. It's small or mild but it is there. Go back in 6 months for another scan---we'll see....
The message I got was----Airway Clearance---got to do it!!!

The two models I own are Medline and ChoiceMMed.

My oxygen saturation is 196.

When I combine the results wearing them both at the same time.

Lorem,

It is great to be equipped with a tool that may help us to identify what is going on in our bodies when we are not feeling well.

They are definitely a great tool. I always suggest people bring them with to their provider visit just to see how it compares to the office equipment. Sometime they can vary in reading but you can always look for trends.
