10 best pulse oximeters

The compact device is specially designed for quick daily measurement of the amount of oxygen in capillary blood. Great for taking it on trips: small dimensions (only 6.6x3.5x3 cm) allow you to easily transport the device with you, and the low power consumption function is indispensable in long-distance travel conditions. Thanks to the last option, even if you forget to turn off the device, it will turn off automatically after 8 seconds. It should be borne in mind that the device gives a slight error. When measuring oxygen, it is only 2% and 1% when counting the pulse. However, for its price, these are quite acceptable deviations.

The reviews note that the device is convenient and easy to use: it is equipped with a large button on the control panel, a clear interface, a separate battery level indicator, and all results are displayed on a concise two-color LCD screen.

The compact and easy-to-use pulse oximeter is designed for individual measurements outside of healthcare facilities.It will not be difficult to understand the operation and interpretation of the results at home, because the device displays only basic data in a user-friendly way: in parallel, digital values ​​​​and a pulse wave appear on the display, and the parameters are displayed in 4 directions. Information about the level of oxygen in hemoglobin is given in the range of 0-100%. The heart rate is also measured - from 30 to 250 beats per minute.

The reviews share that this is one of the best budget options. Powered by 2 batteries, it saves energy quite intelligently by triggering an auto-off after 5 seconds of inactivity. Among the minuses indicate the impossibility of using for children under 4 years old: the mount is designed for a finger of at least 10 mm, which means that it will not work to get the correct results.

This model can be found with equal success both in medical institutions and at home for those who monitor blood oxygen saturation. Thanks to the clothespin form factor, the device is universal, it is easy to fix it on both an adult and a child's finger. Additional fixation is provided by a tight spring that connects the two parts of the device. The working surfaces through which information is read and transmitted are covered with rubber - it is this that provides better grip and prevents slipping.

The device is excellent for measurements even in low light conditions. To find the device control buttons by touch, oval finger pads located at the points of pressing help, and all measurements are displayed on a color LED screen with built-in backlight. Its brightness is enough to see the data even in the absence of light.

The highlight of this device is a two-color display that rotates 360°. In this case, fixation occurs every 90 °, which allows you to read information in 4 positions as comfortably as possible. The screen interface has 5 display modes by parameters: blood oxygen saturation level, pulse rate and intensity, plethysmogram, battery level. All control is carried out with just one button, which greatly simplifies the development of a finger pulse oximeter.

This is one of the best portable pocket options according to users. They are grateful that the manufacturer took care of the conditions for transporting the product, providing useful accessories: a case for safe storage and a cord made of durable, but pleasant to the body material to wear around the neck. And with a weight of just 58g, it's easy to carry your device with you at all times.

A prominent representative of multifunctional devices not only measures the amount of oxygen in the blood or pulse, but also helps to determine the state of the nervous and vascular systems. And all thanks to the plethysmogram option, in other words, the possibility of examining the state of blood vessels by changing blood volumes in them. There is no doubt about the accuracy of the results: the manufacturer equipped the pulse oximeter with a pulse bar. This option fixes the connection of the device with the body, so it will ignore and not show false measurements if, for example, it is incorrectly put on the finger.

Judging by the reviews, the device does an excellent job of self-monitoring the state of health.It is important for users that the device has as many as 6 variations of data display, so everyone can choose the settings for themselves without overloading the display with unnecessary information. So, among the modes there is a portrait or landscape view, with or without a plethysmogram, the pulse bar can also be displayed or hidden.

The best German quality is embodied in this model of a pulse oximeter. It is protected by a durable shockproof case that can withstand falls from a height of up to 3 m. The product itself is not afraid of temperature changes, so it can be used even outdoors on a frosty day. The manufacturer's confidence in its product is confirmed by an extended warranty - as much as 30 months.

During measurements, the finger must be stationary - this is the main condition for an accurate result. Therefore, the reviews do not recommend purchasing a device for manipulating children under 5 years old. However, it is precisely this feature that allows you to accurately determine the pulse even in an unconscious person. In addition to mobility, owners of false nails or thick varnish have a chance to get an inaccurate result, as well as people with hypotension and hypothermia - this is warned in the reviews.

This is one of the most accurate devices in its price segment. Several technical characteristics guarantee high reliability of the results. The presence of a processor with support for arithmetic based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core ensures the use of the latest signal processing algorithms that come from ultra-sensitive sensors.So the level of oxygen is measured to the nearest tenth. For comparison, in all analogues, the result is limited to an integer. Also, the device has a built-in accelerometer, which excludes unreliable data. Their registration occurs automatically in case of any violation of the protocol.

The model is considered a very good choice for home use, as all results can be stored on the cloud and, if necessary, accessed remotely by a doctor. The data is presented in the form of tables and graphs that open in all browsers. Information is transferred to the cloud via Bluetooth or using a cable. For convenience, many users set auto-sync.

The device uses the "gold standard" of non-invasive measurement of saturation - it evaluates the difference between the absorption of infrared and red radiation by tissues. The result shows quickly, the processing of information takes only 10-15 s (with a sufficient pulse wave), and the data is displayed for convenience on two luminous indicators. A distinctive feature of the model is a good adjustment for the thickness of the finger: from 8 to 26 cm, while even at the maximum width the sensor does not compress soft tissues, which makes use comfortable.

The device is very easy to operate, does not require special maintenance and periodic calibration. These advantages are often voiced by users in reviews. They also praise the battery life - up to 18 hours without stopping. During this time, you can make about 1000 measurements at home.

Without exaggeration, this device is one of the smartest on the market. It is equipped with a full-fledged alarm system, the alerts of which suggest that the battery is running out or the sensor has moved away from the finger. And most importantly, the sound warns of reaching the boundary values ​​​​of the pulse or oxygen in the blood. And, no less important, critical indicators can be configured independently, for yourself, by setting individual upper and lower limits.

The pulse oximeter is equally good for measuring readings in children and adults, because the kit includes two sensors: the cuff is best suited for babies, while the clothespin is accurately and securely fixed on the finger of older people. The reviews praise the largest LED screen among similar devices. On it, the data is displayed in large numbers, so it will be comfortable to control your performance even for the elderly or people with vision problems.

The American manufacturer has introduced a number of the latest technologies into the model, the key among which is advanced signal processing. Thanks to it, accurate results can be obtained even under extreme conditions, for example, with poor perfusion or limited human activity. Moreover, given this possibility, the device can be used for monitoring sleep. True, in this case, you need to reduce the brightness of the display and the volume of alarms.

One of the most useful features, according to users, is the ability to export data from a pulse oximeter to a computer using a cable.This facilitates the analysis of information and allows you to send it to the doctor if necessary. However, a substantial amount of information is stored in the memory of the device itself - about 80 hours of recording consecutive monitoring results.
