Hi everyone, I know some of you have bought oximeters from ebay and amazon. I can only find a few on Amazon which were pricey, I remember people saying they could be bought for around £20, and that they were pretty accurate. Any ideas?. Thanks Janice x

Hi stone, I will have to take another look as I only found a couple, too pricey for me. Not been on Amazon before Thanks x

Mine is clinical guard - you might want to read previous post on this subject:

healthunlocked.com/!/#blf/q...

I think there are several other posts as well, check in site search (top right)

You might find this link also useful pulseox.info/ it tells you all about using an oximeter and its limitations for accuracy etc.

you will see a delete button just reduce quantity to one and delete completely the thermometer but remember to click on update but if you would like I will order it for you and you can send me the money and I will get it delivered to you or give me a call and I will talk you through it. Just PM me if you would like some help xxx

I too got one off Amazon. It was only £17 but it was listed as being used although it came with original packing and works perfectly.
