Is this device accurate on children

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.

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 think this is a question for the babysense Hisense safety monitor. I have never used one. You may even want to ask your pediatrician for advice about this.

I have found it very accurate when compared against other devices like treadmill sensors which you hold on to and even when I compare to a blood pressure monitor.There is a little heart which flashes on the top right so if you hold your other hand to the pulse at your neck you can get confirmation that the heartbeat measured on the watch coincides with the actual heartbeat you are experiencing.

No. This pedometer has a 98% accuracy rate. It has the JW200™ engine which is the Digi-walker engine.

I do not have young children. I only know it works well with adults. You might want to call a baby doctor and ask about using the "finger pulse oximeter" with babies and toddlers.

Yes it does, and it is very accurate! I was impressed with the device for the price I paid.

Absolutely. I am a home care nurse and I use this device all the time on adults. It is fast, accurate, sanitary because it doesn't touch anything, and so easy to use. I also got one for my daughter to use with her children. It can be used for anyone. I HIGHLY recommend it. Most of my patients want to get one after they see how it works. 5 stars, for sure!

I bought this device for my 4 years old son and it worked great, however I don't think it would work for adults or older kids.

I cannot quantify the accuracy. There are several factors that can change a reading. I did spend time with a nurse, and found that her reading was fairly close to the reading from this device, but changing the position of the monitor can make the readings off my more or less. Funny thing is, even at the doctor's office, they take my pressure twice, and they are never the same.

it is just as effective. I use it for my 17 year old daughter and it is accurate as can be. as a matter of fact she tested positive (we knew she would) and within one month she was testing negative. this was verified with an in-office test at her doctor's office the next day. I have not had any problems with the results of these tests. they have proved to be accurate so far. it is a simple test to take, it reminds me of a pregnancy test you pee on the stick and that's it

This is really an adult pulse Ox meter. I have used it on my 22 month old old grandson and it will work if you get it lined up just right. The sensor and the light source are fairly deep set. I have found the meter to be accurate and useful for my own use. I have compared it to my Doctor's meter often and it is always right on. I would not recommend it for regular use on a baby.

Yes. It requires very little effort. My six and seven year old use it without issue.

not sure how accurate for a child, if I remember correctly I was curious and put my 10yr old it and the numbers weren't accurate for bodyfat but yes you can change the data (height, activity level ect.) whenever you want.

I would say it is fairly accurate. I compared it to my more expensive Radio Shack and the numbers are very comparable.

Yes, in as much as the built in altimeter is accurate. This is old tech, newer companies offer better products an besides, much, much more importantly other companies may offer better support. From first hand experience, Fitbit customer service is atrocious, and that is very generous!!

I can not answer that but what I did was take it to the nurse where I work and compared their readings to mine using their equipment vs mine. The results were very close. The nurse was happy with the comparison. She said it is not an exact science.

I do not know. However it is as accurate as the device in my doctor's office.
