Santa Medical SM-150 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter
I have this funky medical condition known as POTS. When you have POTS you get Tachycardia. My doctors appreciate when I monitor my heart rate. I have a more expensive Pulse Oximeter, but I wanted a second one as backup and for travel and whatnot. The Santa Medical SM-150 came with a pulse oximeter, batteries, a lanyard, carrying pouch and instructions.
It seemed pretty simple to use. Like all Pulse Oximeters, you just need to place your finger inside. I found it to be very testy about how far my finger was pushed into place. Unless I had it pressed very firmly against the back, it would not register my finger and would just shut off instantly. After getting the hang of placing my finger just right, the device worked satisfactorily.
I compared the readings of both the SM-150 and my more expensive Pulse Ox, and the readings were pretty much the same. As far as accuracy, it's pretty good, especially for it's value. The display is large, bright, and easy to interpret. I give this 4 out of 5 stars, and would recommend it.
I purchased this pulse oximeter at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
Grab one on Amazon.

I reviewed one of these too and I love having it around. My brother is a retired paramedic and he's always after me to have medical supplies and small devices like this one around.
