iP900BP-B Fingertip Pulse Oximeter, Blood Oxygen Monitor with Free App, Plethysmograph, and Perfusion Index (with Bluetooth)

Really needed an accurate, fast O2 level to determine if I needed to use my portable oxygen. This oximeter filled the task perfectly. Hoping it continues to provide this quality, reliable needed readings.

Bright display, easy to read. Convenient, comfortable cord included for wearing it around the neck. Readings seem to be accurate. Not medical grade but considered comparable for a fraction of the price.

(UPDATE) In March of this year, I found myself unusually short of breath from minor exertion. Using this meter, I was able to watch my oxygen rapidly swing from the mid 90's to mid 80's in a matter of seconds/minutes with my normal 50's resting pulse spiking over 120 as the oxygen dropped. This device helped convince me something was seriously wrong, and I went to the ER. Diagnosis was an Acute Pulmonary 🫁 Embolism Saddle which meant a blood clot was nearly blocking both vessels into my lungs. It can kill you quickly. I was in surgery within hours and walked out the following day. Note I am very healthy mid-50's and this was my only symptom. If you are short of breath, or you get abnormal pulse oxygen readings, get to the ER immediately. This device can help you know things are not normal. -----‐------- (ORIGINAL REVIEW) This device is fantastic. Time to use was the time it took to remove the batteries from the plastic wrap and insert them in the device. Hit the power button, and instant readings. Downloaded the app and it instantly found the device and Bluetooth was up and running. Short clicks on the power button changed the display orientation, long clicks changed the brightness. Thorough and well written instructions told me everything I needed to know. Bluetooth or not to Bluetooth? The app makes monitoring in real time easy, and tracks and saves your readings. Worth it if you want to try breathing exercises and evaluate your results in different situations. Great device.

Update! Get Bluetooth! Because my issue didn't show up on stress test or EKG (wasn't happening during those tests) my heart got a pass. The record on this device doesn't record the actual heart wave. Bummer. But I did do screen captures to show PA. Then ran on Bluetooth and she could observe the wave. We did a 7 day monitor "glued" to my chest and discovered more than I would like. BUT now we have a great idea what's been taking place. Can't give 6 stars, but I would! 1st Rating: Works very well! Android app connects and gives a nice clean screen with lots of good stuff all on one screen. Thinking about getting a second in case Amazon quits listing this.

It works as expected. It connects quickly to the phone app and is easy to use. It's nice that he display can be rotated an dimmed.

What a wonderful device! At a reasonable price, you get accurate pulse ox readings, as well as three other readings. Respiration rate, heart rate, perfusion index. Important for me, it shows a pulse waveform, so I can see what my heart is doing when I feel it being irregular. The unit connects to a Bluetooth monitor on my phone where I can document readings. Reporting this information to my doctor encouraged him to finally order a Holter monitor for me.

This product is very easy to use and is exactly as described. Very happy with this purchase. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a good odimeter

This thing rocks. I work as a paramedic and sometimes our $15,000 monitor decides to act like it's from dollar tree. I use this in conjunction w our monitor and it is a life saver. Why this thing is so awesome: 1. Bluetooth - absolute game changer for me. not only can you save recordings for later but the connection is seamless. open the app and it instantly connects with no fuss. since i'm usually sitting behind the patient I can monitor the oxygen saturation and waveform with my phone sitting up and not have to constantly look at their finger 2. Plethysmograph - the waveform shown on the screen allows to help verify the accuracy of the readings. A smooth, consistent waveform usually means a good reading. Also pleth waves coincide with mechanical output of the heart so I can see things on it like irregular heart rhythms (for example afib) 3. the screen flips - first of all the device off by itself when you put the finger out which i think is awesome bc i never have to worry about leaving it on but once it is on and on a finger pushing the power button actually rotates the screen. so if you're taking readings from the side or front you can turn it whatever way you want 4. perfusion index - another way to help verify accuracy. perfusion index generally falls between 0.3 and 10. low number usually means poor blood circulation like cold fingers, low blood pressure, etc. I find the oximetry readings and pleth waves to be very accurate when compared to our $15k monitor. The reading and heart rate shows the same on both. The heart rate even seems to show the same as our cardiac monitor with electrodes. I like that it comes w a lanyard and place to attach. I also bought a case for it off Amazon. -- The bad: the respiratory rate is not accurate. I'm assuming it is calculating respiratory rate by using algorithms to calculate respiratory activity based on changes in the pleth. This device tends to way overshoot legitimate respiratory rate. It may say respiratory rate is 34 when it is really 12. I do not trust it what so ever. If you're trying to actually calculate respiratory rate try out an app like MedTimer. Overall I love it. 10/10. Reliable. App is wonderful. Was so worth buying a more expensive one over a super cheap one.
