Good price - Medical Quality October 1, 2009

I did a lot of research between brands before ordering this item. Ultimately the deciding factor for me was the company's website. I found that there is a medical grade of this item requiring a prescription - and it is the same item. The specifications for the two are listed side-by-side - and even the price is the same; the only difference is this one does not require a prescription. The medical grade meters must meet FDA tests - so this one obviously does, as well.
I like the continuous readout. From the pictures I was not quite certain what to expect in the readouts or performance - I didn't feel the descriptive information was precise on this. The readouts are for pulse rate, blood oxygen level, and a scale that, literally, shows your pulse and the strength of your pulse. This enables you to know if you are getting a strong enough pulse to get a good reading.
After first putting the unit on, I did some moving around, sitting still, and various things to change my activity level. The pulse rates changed accordingly and there were some variances in the oxygen level, as would be expected. Though I have just quite smoking (mostly) I did light up and had a few quick drags to see what effect this would have (lower oxygen at first, then catching back up almost to not-smoking level).
I'm impressed with the unit. It will operate economically on AAA batteries. If I end up using it a lot, I'll probably go to rechargeables for it.
While this one was a few dollars more than some of the alternatives, I felt it would be the most reliable from the research I did. After receiving it, I am extremely pleased with the way it works. I would highly recommend it.

This is a wonderful and accurate device for monitoring oxygen levels, pulse and strength of heartbeat. I measured it against a professional hospital quality oximeter and it compared accurately well. It just takes a few seconds longer to produce the result. The readout lights up automatically when your finger is inserted and is very easy to read, even in complete darkness. You can keep it on to watch the levels change while resting or while exercising. It doesn't appear to be waterproof, so DO NOT take it while swimming or showering.
I'm grateful to Nonin for making this available and affordable. The fact that it is made in the USA clinched my decision to buy this one. I purchased a case for it to take with me when traveling.
Thanks also to Amazon for availability and reviews in making purchase decisions.

We bought this when my wife was leaving the hospital with a pleurex catheter and the doctors were concerned about her oxygen usage.
The nurses in the hospital used a Nonin similar to this, just a bit faster (and 3x the cost). My insurance company approved a rental pulse oximeter that cost about $500/MONTH to rent. (This is one reason insurance is so high). My cost for one month of the rental was almost the cost of purchasing this one. No brainer. This works perfectly, is more than fast enough (just a few seconds), and was able to help tell us when we could call the doctor to consider removing the catheter - a very important concern for my wife.
The kicker is that I still have this to keep track of any possible additional issues, and the kids like checking to see who can hit the highest number.
If you need a pulse oximeter, I strongly recommend the Nonin.
Excellent product February 18, 2010

I purchased this Pulse Oximeter in blue from Concord Health Supply on Amazon, not really knowing how accurate it was likely to be, but wanting some ability to watch trends on my sPO2 levels during exercise. I ride a recumbent trike 3 days a week, about 150 miles/week, and 3 days a week I am at the hospital Cardio-Pulmonary rehab facility for an hour of monitored and supervised exercise. The hospital is a large regional trauma center, and has excellent equipment and facilities. Concord shipped as advertised, and the GO2 arrived in good condition.
I have taken this GO2 unit in with me to each of the last 6 appointments at the hospital, and compared it to the hospital equipment during all phases of exercise - resting to 130 bpm exercise. The O2 reading has agreed exactly with the numbers on the hospital equipment 90% of the time, and the rest of the time disagreed by 1% before eventually matching. The heart rate indication has never been more than 2 beats off from either the hospital's monitoring station, or from the 3 lead ECG portable transponder I have to wear during my appointments. The cario-pulmonary staff were impressed with the sixze, weight, accuracy, and ease of use of the Nonoin GO2, are planning on buying a number of these units for patients to wear at their exercise stations without having to go to the monitoring station for sPO2 eadings.
I also had occasion to test the Nonin customer service department late one Friday afternoon with an unusual question. I want to mount this GO2 on my trike for a Challenged Athlete 1/2 Ironman this October, as it is important I stay within the heart rate and O2 parameters the Doctor's set for me when they gave me the OK to train for this event. My problem was that the surface of the GO2 case is so soft that the mounting tape squares couldn't stick to the case. I e-mailed customer service, and within 15-20 minutes the product manager had emailed me back, saying that she was going to have the engineering department contact me.
Within 1 hour the Engineering manager had emaied me, stating that this was a 'fun question', and offering some insights into different types of industrial strength materials that were generally sold through business supply sites, rather than general consumers. When I e-mailed him back that I needed an industrial velcro or mushroom lock tape so I could move the GO2 between my training and my racing trikes, he said that he would have the engineer who designed the case contact me late this week when he is back in the office. I am really impressed by the customer service at Nonin, especially regarding an off-beat and unusual application like mine.
All told, this little device will do exactly what I want, and my experience so far is that it is backed by a solid company with great customer service.

i am a father of two small children who both unfortunately have respiratory ailments. my oldest is 4 and the youngest is 2 and i have gotten good readings on both children. after spending time in the hospital with both i purchased this unit so i could be proactive and so far so good i have had no issues and it has worked flawlessly. the biggest reason why i purchased the unit is it comes with a 3 year warranty which was a lot longer than a lot of other units listed. this also happened to be the manufacturer that most of the respiratory therapists that i met in the hospital were using so i felt that had to be a good sign.
