Dear Sir: My wife has a minor COPD which does not need critical measurements, therefore this monitor is sufficient for her. If you have a critical need for more accuracy, a much more accurate measurement device should be procured. So, I would do a little research & procure a higher quality device. I wish you luck. I know how restrictive the lack of oxygen is and hope you find a more critical device for your critical needs.

Your question is hard . You may read articles on Wiki to get some help . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation_in_medicine

This oximeter will measure the amount of oxygen in the peripheral circulation, not specifically what goes to the brain. Very easy to use.

I am unaware of that. I believe this only measures the oxygen in your blood levels. Not what is flowing to the brain. Sorry but I am not aware of the correct answer, but I don't believe so.

All of these meters can give wrong readings. Today my Bayer USB told me my sugar was 0.9!! Tested again immediately and got 5.3. I think the Verio is as accurate as the average meter, unless you have a faulty meter.

There is a certain amount of liability I would take by answering if your machine is accurate. I would suggest you do a charcoal test next to it to compare readings. Your first test that come back over 4.0 always makes you second guess any machine.

I never trust Dr Oz. I found out about this product on Facebook. Amazon was the highest quality with the lowest price so I thought I would try it. I commented on Amazon and the manufacturer contacted me and asked how I was taking it. He increased my dose and still have had NO weight loss. If you work out with intensity (free weights) you may not see a reduction in weight but a reduction in fat. This is my case, I am getting more defined but maintaining the same weight. I think this stuff is going to work different for everyone. I would say buy a couple of bottles and see what happens. As I said earlier, buy from Amazon, its the best price. I never trust Dr Oz.

Yes, this is the unit that our doctor recommended. We wanted to see if it was possible for my husband to be suffering from sleep apnea. His oxygen levels werer fine. We monitored his sleep for 7 nights and were able to print out his results for our doctor to review. As a matter of fact, our doctor bought the unit from us when we were done so that he could let other patients check it out from his practice, sort of like a library, to research their sleep issues.

I don't know why the reviews are better. The wrist monitor is much easier to use. I compared mine to the docs readings and they were very close for all readings. I would take several readings along with your doc and compare the readings. You should then know how to correct your readings to what he gets. You should sit with your heart over your feet when using the wrist monitor if you are sitting back the readings won't be accurate.

The first one I purchased seemed to be very accurate. The one I got more recently for my wife is far enough off to ruin your life. When mine is at 0.080, hers is at 0.065. When mine is at 0.100, hers is at 0.081. I contacted the company and they want me to send it back at our expense. This thing has been off since day 1. I know mine is accurate. I've had several BAC testers and I know when I'm close to the limit and shouldn't drive. I would not have driven when hers was at 0.065 and I was defiantly not close to legal when hers read 0.081.

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.

I don't think you have a choice with the Nonin Go2 and my primary concern is accuracy. I have checked the Nonin Go2 against the ones used by various health providers and it is very accurate. Two of the less expensive ones I tried are worse than useless as give misleading info.

Thanks Phoenix1. I just recently purchased one, so when I get it set up I can do a real review, instead of asking questions in the wrong place. Thanks for the tip, I'll be using it!

I find this wrist monitor accurate enough. My readings before Doctors visits compared to her upper arm cuff method are only a few points different. Activity will change your BP reading so your doctor may require you have his office nurse to do frequent checks . I doubt that a post op cardiac patient would use this wrist monitor but I think for the average home taking BP this is an excellent choice and if the readings were very low or very high you should see your Doctor for a check up immediately.I will not dicker if your doctor prefers the cuff but this method also has a problem if the taker of the BP is hard of hearing ......Follow your Doctors advice what ever it is. Thats what you pay him for. I find this wrist monitor accurate enough. My readings before Doctors visits compared to her upper arm cuff method are only a few points different.

Asumming that you put your arm in properly, not to bind the sensor, It measures quite consistently. If we get a higher reading, as we're concerned about our results, we lay back to rest for 3 minutes, breathe deeply 4 times,then the measurement drops as much as 10 points. I find it's Memory records daily consistent BP's, vs our old Arm-Band unit.Checking it with the local Market, or Drug Store, it's results are very Good!

My answer would be a big YES... it seems very accurate and I often compare it to the one my Step-mom uses daily at her Hospital job.It's consistant within 2 or 3 percent. My husband and I are in our late 50's and we both use it once every morning...again after our daily workout at the Gym...and again a few hours after the Gym workouts. six times a day and it has never failed to give good solid readings.

Based on my anecdotal experience, I believe my results are more accurate if I follow the instructions exactly. In essence, it seems more accurate if I keep the droplet of blood in contact with the tip of the strip until the digital display responds. At first, I was only maintaining contact until the visible portion APPEARED to be saturated and it would usually give a reading but it didn't seem as accurate. My advice is don't assume it's saturated enough because it appears to be. Follow the instructions and keep giving it blood until the display changes. On my unit, it goes from a flashing droplet to a dash. Based on my anecdotal experience, I believe my results are more accurate if I follow the instructions exactly.

cannot really answer that honestly as I never used it. When it arrived I read the box and it stated that one should never use near oxygen and since I am COPD I am on the stuff 24/7.

I have to push my finger completely to the back of device to get consistent results. I usually check my blood pressure at the same time i check my oxygen level. I have noticed that there are sometimes when my pulse rate is 4-5 numbers apart. In that case I usually checg b/p and ozygen again, if they are still close then I just average the numbers.

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.
