Does this oximeter have an alarm for low oxygenation numbers?

NO, anytime it gets below 90 you should pay close attention, low 80's your in trouble, if you need an alarm, good luck

No. With low oxygen you'll get higher CO (and then CO sensor should go off IF it works properly), plus higher CO2 (but there is usually no CO2 sensor in RV).

Yes, it does. The top reading on the display is your pulse rate and the reading below that is your percentage of Oxygen Saturation. Hope this helps.

I see a bluish green waveform below the numbers when measuring my dad's oxygen level. My understanding is that it measures the change in the volume of arterial blood with each pulse beat. You may want to visit their website at www.maxtec.com to learn more. Hope this helps.

If by silent alarm means nothing is felt, heard, or seen when you want it to alarm then YES! :) Unfortunately, this does not have any alarm nor any type of audible or mechanical notification. It is a trade off for having a device whose battery lasts up to a year.

My mother and husband were on concentrators for extra oxygen when breathing. The pulse oximeter gave accurate readings and was the exact same thing the doctors' offices used. I use it for myself sometimes as well just to check.

I've only used the Babysense, but we have friends with the Angel Care who seem to get many more false alarms than we do. I was bothered by the flashing blue light when in operation, but our child seems unaffected by it.

Yes. - The display has large numbers and a good back-light, which makes easy to read in any light. In sunlight, move the display so the sun's reflection is reduced I do not know if the alarm can be turned off. It is quiet and only sounds when the SpO2 is below 90%, which is not normal, or the pulse rate is out of normal range. It also beeps when turning on, or off, or pressing the button.

Nope. Pulse does not measure your oxigen level continously. In order to take the measurement you have to select an option from the device menu an put your finger against a reader at the back of it, that is rather impossible during sleep.

Yes, it will flash and beep if your O2 drops below 90 and if your heart rate exceeds 120 bpm. (or 125 bpm). I love this thing. If you use it too much, it does go through the batteries, so keep some AAA's handy, but it really is a great oximeter.

Yes, it has both a high and low heart rate alarm. You can set your low range and your high range to stay in your target zone. If you are trying to stay below a rate, set the low below your resting heart rate (then it won't go off), then set the high at your limit.

I don't recall it had an alarm, but I want you to know that ours quit working and the company wouldn't fix it. Maybe try a different company.

No, the alarm is purely motioned sensored. It resets itself every time baby breathes and only goes off if it doesn't detect that movement.

Ill have my husband take a look. As an RN I am surprised just how accurate this has turned out to be, not only with oxygenation levels but heart rate as well. My husband had an inconclusive sleecomp study and we decided to do this instead. Worked great thw alarm goes off when his oxygen levels drop, and has proven to us that he does have sleep apnea.

Yes. It monitors both movement and breathing and if it doesn't detect anything it will alert you. Thankfully the only time that has happened is when I forgot to turn it off after a nap, but I was glad to know it worked.

No, it does not have an alarm. If you want some sort of signal when it turns off, I leave the light on which turns off automatically with the diffuser.

No. My doctor said the report was unusable because it produces a fuzzy range rather than specific readings that would allow him to see how consistent the oxygen levels were. Just get the equipment from your doctor.
