Special thanks to the company for providing a sample of their product.
Why would I want to use a pulse oximeter at home? Quite simply, it’s nice to keep an eye on our resting pulse, so we can figure out are target heart rate during exercise. It’s also good to know if that resting heart rate is too high, so we can take measures to try to correct it or get to the doctor if it’s too elevated. Because I have asthma, it’s nice to be able to keep tabs on my blood oxygen saturation levels.
The MeasuPro OX100 Pulse Oximeter comes with a durable carrying case with a lanyard. The unit is small enough that I can toss it in my purse or pack. It’s really easy and comfortable to use. Just turn it on and place your finger in the cushioned unit. The display can be viewed from any angle. I simple touch of the button rotates the screen for easy viewing. It uses 2 AAA batteries which are easy to install. Because it has an automatic shut off feature, these batteries should last a long time.
It’s quick, easy, and painless to use.
