This is a decision that would have to be made by an attending physician or medical specialist supervising the medical care of an infant. I also would assume there are devices specially designed for infants and small children.

I use it for my 5 year olds, and have been using it since they were 4, but I'm not sure about infants. There might be some logistical challenges. I recommend calling the manufacturer and asking them.

I believe it is too harsh for babies. I would advise a product made for infants and toddlers.

Hi there, My wife has been using it since my baby was three weeks. It's easy to use as it has a magnifier. My wife prefers now to clip his nails while he is asleep as he is about six months.It's really difficult to keep him still without moving his hands for a while. Mazen eg_teacher@hotmail.com

I think it would be....I've used it on infants so I would think it will be fine. Just be aware that the frequencies you want to hear are dependent on the amount of pressure you use when placing diaphragm on patient (human or animal)

No. This device is pretty basic. It does not alarm for low oxygen saturations either. We just use it for checking my husband's oxygen levels, because he has significant lung disease, and we want to be able to correlate how he is feeling and looking with what his oxygen saturation actually is. It works well for that purpose. Devices that alarm for high pulse rates or low saturation levels start in the 350.00 plus range the last time I priced any.

I have a natural and love it. Don't know anything about Oxbridge. I would guess if it is more expensive , its timer/console may track pulse rate or do more thatn my console does.

I've read posts indicating that ANY of the fingertip pulse oximeters are accurate on children, and the consensus seems to be "good enough." In our case we have a medically fragile young adult son who is quite small in stature and has very small, childlike hands. Among his medical equipment is a full size professional pulse oximeter that also checks his heart rate. We also have the fingertip device in question. The two oximeters are always within a point of one another.

I would say its risky. I personally wouldn't want anything around my newborn. I would be worried about their neck getting in a position where they can't breathe. I got it when my son was 4 months old and he immediately came off of it and put it over his face (to chew on). I ended up attaching it to the sheets/mattress pad with safety pins. In a month and a half he figured out how to get his arm under it, which made the some of the pins come out. Glad I have a monitor because he could have poked himself. Anyway I quit using it. Not really worth it for a month and a half use plus I didn't see any improvement in his flat head.

I've relied on it since my little boy was about four weeks old. The baby's body temperature, is pretty stable from the beginning, so age shouldn't be an issue.

Hi Jessica, It appears to be accurate with my little one. The only problem I have is making sure the red light is touching her skin. The middle finger works well for me as it is the longest for her cute little fingers.

Dedo de uma criana deve caber aqui, mas para ser seguro, aqui est o link para um oxmetro de pulso, que est na Amaznia para Crianas. Se o link no funcionar, procure oxmetro de pulso peditrica: http://www.amazon.com/Green-Finger-Pulse-Oximeter-Sports/dp/B00CBY6APW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407511054&sr=8-1&keywords=pediatric+pulse+oximeter

It is great for newborns thru approximately 6 mos or so. After that, they tend to want to sit up and it's not really designed for that.

I used with my son when he was about 6 weeks old and he slept good with it. I would say ask your pediatrician if you think it is too early for your baby to use it.

I honestly don't know. As for me, I really didn't get this for use as an oximeter. I have frequent irregular heartbeat so I wanted it for the graphic monitoring of pulserate, and for that purpose it works beautifully.

You should be able to use this for a new born. I didn't use it until my baby was 2 months old but he was a preemie and born at 4lbs. He was too small. I used it when he was about 6 or 7 pounds and it worked great.

This machine is very slow compared to your average full sized machine.as far as age goes, parental judgment I think. If the child knows it can hurt them if they put their finger under the needle then I think they are old enough. However, I wouldn't let a toddler use it. I would let a school agEd child use it under supervision.

It works great for a 9 month old baby. I would recommend as soon as newborn as long as the baby is supervised.
