Oximeter Recommendations

My Oxiline died and they have a Catch 22 in getting your “Lifetime Warranty”. It was one of the reasons I bought it and that it would give a reading quickly. It was not cheap either. So disappointed in this and now trying to find one that works as well and less than $100. Must be able to buy in the United States. Please provide brand and model if available. Thx.

I just did research on Oxiline reviews and found a ton of negative stuff. When I bought it a couple years ago, the company may have been ok. People now aren’t even getting the product they paid for. So still looking for a good replacement. I just bought an Innovo and it can take long to get a reading. I know the tips for this, too.

I have a BIOSYNC , seems to work ok, just have to check batteries .

My problem , cold hands bad circulation, bent arthritic fingers , so need to try and warm up first .

Even the ones in my health centre can take a time to work on me .

Good luck with your search

Hi knitter, I also have a Biosync. I chose it because it's also suitable to use with children. 10 years old, one battery change and it's still fine . P

try putting “best oximeter USA” into Google then check the comparisons and pick one that appears the most.

My first one was a cheap and cheerful one from Amazon. The cover came off, so I bought another from Boots (no use to you) . The first one still works and they give very similar readings. Quite quick too. I'd stick to cheap ones.

I think Boots are associated with Walgreens pharmacy in the USA.

Hi, I have used an Emay EMO-90 for a year or more and find it the best of several that I have tried. If connected (bluetooth or USB) to a PC or smartphone it displays your overnight SpO2 and Pulse Rate clearly and these can be printed to show your medical team any concerning features. It was used to diagnose my sleep apnoea. It stores 72 hours of data internally and is rechargeable. It is made in the USA and costs $99 ( with a 20% discount possible at times). I hope that you find this useful - one warning - don't drop it in with the washing up. it doesn't like water! Regards, Barrie.
