I’ve had an “old school” pulse ox forever. You know, heavy with a tiny screen flashing tiny red LCD numbers. Those numbers are positioned so a “medical professional” facing me could read them. Great big help when I’m at Walmart, gasping for air! I had enough of all the squinting, neck-wrenching fun! I needed a new pulse ox, but feared the price.
Enter the MD300C2 by Choice Med. What a difference! A big one! Here are the highlights:
Weight-Although much larger and clunkier than older ones, it is nearly feathweight. Easy to slip on–and off.
Readout- As described. The generous screen displays HUGE blue letters that are easily read by the wearer…no squinting or neck-breaking required! The default position is as pictured, but pushing a button changes the position in numerous ways. However, the changes are temporary and always return to the default position. A disappointment, but not a spoiler.
Batteries-Haven’t had it long enough to attest to battery life. I do know that the design leaves no chance of the accidental battery drain which plagues the old ones. It will not work until the button on the face of the pulse ox is pressed. Within 6 seconds after the finger is withdrawn, it shuts down until button-activated.
Some other positives-The included hang string is long enough to wear the pulse ox as a fashion statement…a little long for a wristlet. I purchased mine through Amazon from Best Care. This company included a very attractive (mine was olive green with black trim), sturdy case FREE! If your provider does not include a case, please invest in one and use it.
One little negative-The pushbutton activation is a plus for battery longevity, but it is hard to locate since it is black and blends with the black face. Unless you move very quickly, the display will terminate before putting in your finger. Solution–insert your finger, then activate with the opposite hand. If you have use of only one hand, the button can be gently pushed against any object.
I spent a good deal of time researchng pulse oxes. Had I known the display always reverted to default (which is not clear), I may have gone down a step. All in all, this is a quality product and surprisingly affordable.
