Anapulse Finger Pulse Oximeter | Digital Display | Heart Rate & Oxygen Level Readings | Batteries, Carrycase and Lanyard Included | CE Approved | NHS Supplied (ANP100)

I bought this after a CPR course leader recommended this (type) of product. He said whipping one of these out of your first aid kit bag would give a frightened heart attack patient immediate confidence in you! I live next door to a public defibrillator (so could get a call any day) and I already have a blood pressure monitor (for personal use) so I thought - why not? It was super-easy to set up with the (supplied) batteries. Obviously, I immediately tested it on my middle finger (been in hospital a few times so I knew the drill - and it was dead easy to use) and it gave me two figures: my blood oxygen level was 96 (anything above 95 is OK); can't remember my heart rate but it sounded normal... I can't comment on the accuracy (as - of course - I have not done any comparative testing) but I gave 4* for accuracy as it felt to me like it was giving good results. IMO, this is a good bit of kit to have in your bag if you are a first-aider - lightweight, not that expensive... Also very useful if you ever think you may need to report a patient's condition (e.g. a relative) to emergency services.

This is so simple and useful I am just sorry we didn't find it sooner. My mother suffers from chronic Asthma and C.O.P.D. We use oxygen daily and her oxygen sats are very volatile. So keeping us informed is this little gadget that I didn't know we could buy till recently. WOW. Simply a 'cant do without now we've got one' kind of tool. It's dial is easy to read and understand in BOLD red numbers. It constantly changes as the levels move up and down so you can get a running reading. We were blown away with the ease of use and quality. The device is made from a hard quality plastic with areas of soft grip rubber. It comes with a decent quality long lanyard to put around your knock, together with a small clip case AND a quality canvas and Velcro pouch. VERY good product which I highly recomend for anyone who suffers with breathing difficulties or for a relative who is caring for someone to help you keep an eye on their oxygen levels. It takes all the gues work out of the situation. I no longer need to convince mother to put her air back on, she knows within seconds if she needs it. Can't think how we coped without one and never knew you could buy them so really very chuffed with this little gem.

I bought this oximeter back in August after the first lockdown, but I did notice this fluctuated in price a lot. I managed to get it for £17 when it had settled down, but I saw it go up to something like £30 or so. I don't really approve of them taking advantage of these unfortunate times, but I guess that's the life of supply and demand. What's in the box: -Oximeter -x2 AAA batteries -Lanyard -Rubber coving -A case -Instructions It's really easy to use - press the white button, attach it to your finger and wait a few seconds. It will read your oxygen level (SpO2) and pulse rate clearly on the red display. Very rarely, but sometimes it can misread the levels, for example wearing nail varnish can affect this, so just try again. After 5 seconds of removing your finger, it automatically turns off, so you don't need to press or hold down the button when finished. It's really lightweight and can fit in your pocket, or around your neck with the lanyard. This oximeter is great to have in general, but good for anyone who may be paranoid/anxious about coronavirus symptoms (e.g. shortness of breath), or, if you are caring for someone. It does state that this is supplied to the NHS across the UK and I think it's a good piece of equipment to have in your medical box.

First class

Handy little gadget - which provides an immediate reading of your pulse rate (top number, see photo) and oxygen saturation level (bottom number). If you or a family member are feeling under the weather it can offer you peace of mind if the numbers are ok, also if you need to phone Doctors or 111 they are grateful for the information. Make sure your hands are warm to the touch as the reading might not be accurate, also nail varnish and gel nails affect the reading. In summary, easy to use, reasonably priced, well made and an excellent tool to monitor your health.

I am a first responder and I purchased two of these for our kits. For the price they are really good. On opening the box, it comes with a soft cover, an outer case, a lanyard and two batteries. The batteries and the lanyard are easily attached/fitted. To start the meter just press the white button on the to and attach it to the persons finger. It takes a few seconds to start up and show results. The display is nice a big so easily read and it shows the Sp02 levels and the pulse. We also have the ONYX pulse oximeter so I put these on side by side and the readings were the same. The ONYX retails at around £125 and does the exact same thing this one does which was only £20. In the photo you will see the displays of both the ANAPULSE 100 and the ONYX.

This is an excellent device, small, compact, fast and accurate. If you have Atrial Fribrillation F this is the only kind of heart rate monitor that will work - the chest strap continuous monitors will give ridiculously high readings because they pick up all the irregular partial impulses. You can find yourself on a vigorous walk showing a pulse rate of 180 or so for long periods, whereas one of these will give a correct reading. Of course, its not continuous, you press a button to take the pulse, and its not very convenient if you want to carry on running or still worse cycling while you measure. But that's life with AF, it has some inconveniences, and this is quick, reasonably priced, seems accurate, and is very easy to use - as long as you are not on a bike. Cp,es with protective silicone glove, and a nice carry case with a lanyard. Recommended.

Fans of Monty Python will remember the 'Machine that goes ping'. Thirty years ago I first encountered such a machine in the operating theater. In fact, in those days there were several machines that went 'ping' but the most important was a 'pulse oximeter' or pulse-ox for short. In those days a pulse-ox cost several thousands of pounds and was restricted to hospitals. However recently, needing a pulse-ox to monitor a relative on CPAP, I was surprised to find the prices had fallen and I could order on Amazon. The issue of course was which one to order. I selected this one on the basis it was popular but I thought it might be a cheap gimmick. In fact I was wrong. It arrived promptly, and worked straight out of the box. It works simply and is easy to use. Obviously it is hard to confirm the accuracy without lab equipment but it appears to work well. Even my elderly relatives can use it without any hassle. Very impressed - and remarkable at the price. Now if only I could make it go 'ping'.

Me ha sorprendido muchísimo. Lo compramos porque mi mujer es asmática, y necesitamos controlar la saturación cuando tiene crisis. Es muy rápido y muy preciso. Con varias lecturas mantiene la fiabilidad, incluso cambiando de persona. Viene con las pilas incluidas, un protector y una funda. Las instrucciones están en inglés pero no son necesarias, simplemente encender poner n el dedo y la lectura sale en segundos. Contentísimos con la compra.

Costo contenuto ma ottima qualità. E' di facile utilizzo e rappresenta uno strumento essenziale da avere in casa in periodo COVID

Bad product- not working. It was to be returned. Inspite of your pick up messages on 11, 16 and 17 Oct no body turned up to pick it up so so far

Tres utile

The carry pouch and lanyard were missing, but otherwise the product works well.
