Braun Pulse Oximeter 1 - Accurate Blood Oxygen Finger Monitor - Easy-to-use at Home - For COPD, Pneumonia, Sleep Apnea Sufferers - Great for Athletes- YK-81CEU

I recently purchased this oximeter, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! I really needed a reliable way to monitor my oxygen levels and heart rate, especially for peace of mind regarding my health. This device has been a lifesaver!The oximeter is super easy to use—just clip it onto your finger, press the button, and within seconds, it gives an accurate reading of both oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate. I’ve compared the results with professional medical equipment, and they match up perfectly, proving its accuracy.It’s also compact, lightweight, and has a bright, clear display that makes it easy to read the numbers.If you’re looking for a reliable oximeter, whether for personal health tracking, fitness, or medical reasons, I highly recommend this one. It works perfectly every time, and I trust it completely!

I’ve looked up all the standards that this had to meet to be sold in the uk and they are stringent. This item should be about as accurate as the ones used in hospital. That’s not flawless of-course, I’m a nurse so I know well some people are very difficult to get a reading on. If you have poor perfusion or low blood pressure or the like you’d be better off getting an ear probe I’d say. If you don’t have those issues this is great: simple to use, small, does the job brilliantly. This things are accurate to within 2 to 4 percent but that’s plenty to see if someone is dangerously low or trending towards that. I’d absolutely recommend this device, it’s incredible value for money. This is for my own personal use by the way, I’m not using this on patients or anything, we have obs machines for that.

I bought this over a year ago & it's had a great deal of use now, so I can now write a review based on that rather than just first impressions.I purchased this after an illness & had seen recommendations for oximeters. After reading reviews of a few brands & price ranges, I very much felt it was hit or miss on how well the machine functioned for any brand, so took a shot with this.What is the most important factor for anyone buying any oximeter? ACCURACY is always going to be the top answer.I believe we have been lucky, with what would seem to be fairly accurate readings - I'm very much of the mind set that any home use medical equipment is for guidance only & will not match the accuracy of actual medical equipment of our medical centres.Accuracy really can only be tested if you have another machine you know is accurate, or maybe take it to an appointment & ask the consultant to do a reading then try yours. I've not any of them, so I occasionally pop it on when I I'm well & know what my readings should be & check it's not recording anything odd.Mine was put to the test when one time it started a beeping sound I'd not heard before, checked & it was reading a high bpm, the beep was it's alert to something not being right. Two of us checked ourselves, just to be sure it wasn't failing, ours read normal as we expected.Reading the screen is simple, the way it's displays the information can be changed at the touch of a button.Battery life is good - maybe change the batteries that come with it though.It's comfortable on the finger - well as comfortable as one can be.Do looks matter? It just looks pretty much like the others I'd seen. Similar size & weight.I'm pleased with the purchase, I do update my reviews if things change, so if no updates it means the item is still in good working order.

Easy to use, easy to read and a great price.As to accuracy I can't say yes or know but it seems more accurate than cheaper versions I have bought in the past.

Simple to use and good for elderly. Does the job.

works well, but you have to wait for the result for about 40 seconds

I suffer from COPD. I have had 3 pulse oximeters in the past. The first 2 I sent back as they were essentially useless and inaccurate apart from needing me to warm my finger before they would work at all. The 3rd one I used for about 18 months while I noticed a sort of randomness in readings and an eventual total collapse. My new purchase was the Braun oximeter and I must say that it is superior in every respect to my previous experiences and only a few Pounds more expensive.

It’s okay, easy to use it and can rotate it to which face side you want it
