Parker_Woodruff Posted June 21, 2021 Report Posted June 21, 2021 If you fly at higher altitudes, consider Costco's sale this week on a Pulse Oximeter. $8 off (Not sure if membership is required for the discount). https://www.costco.com/homedics-premium-pulse-oximeter.product.100688011.html 2 Quote

The majority of the selection on Amazon is less than that, and you can get one for less than $10.https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pulse+oximeter Quote
RobertGary1 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Posted June 22, 2021 Anyone tried the Apple Watch one? Considering upgrading to the 6 to get the o2 sats reading. Any pireps on it? Quote

Any pireps on it? A little finicky. Not as simple to get a quick read. Has to be positioned correctly high on the wrist. Seems to be accurate-ish relative to a traditional finger clamp. Better than nothing, not the best. Quote
carusoam Posted June 22, 2021 Report Posted June 22, 2021 Watch for competing sales this week…. Prime day at Amazon has lead the competition to also have similar sales… Happy longest day of the year! -a- Quote

Yes, I purchased the Apple Watch just for that purpose instead of Garmin, it’s near useless in the plane, just the slight vibration causes it to not work. Quote

jwilcoxon78 Posted June 22, 2021 Report Posted June 22, 2021 Good info as I was contemplating an upgrade on the Apple Watch. Looks like I'll stick with what I've got. Quote

mike_elliott Posted June 22, 2021 Report Posted June 22, 2021 if you replace the www.amazon.com/xxxxx with smile.amazon.com/xxxxx, you can donate 1/2 of one percent of your purchases to a charity of your choice. Shameless plug....select Mooney Summit, Inc. as your charity to help keep the coffers topped for when we might need to assist a Mooney family member. So far, we receive about 100$ every quarter from Mr. Bezos, and I personally want to thank each of you who help by taking the time to order using amazon smile Thanks 1 Quote

Does the installed unit have the ability to monitor you full time and alarm if it detects your sats below acceptable? Quote
Danb Posted June 22, 2021 Report Posted June 22, 2021 No, you have to put your finger in, which I’m accustomed to do about 5 minutes above 8,000. The carbon obviously is continuous. Mooney doesn’t have the ability to put the alerts on the G1000, surprise. But most other units do. Therefore I’m using bluetooth to my IPADS and IPHONE, I’ll still monitor with backups 1 Quote

I bet there is a limit to its accuracy if the blood stops flowing to your fingertips… There may be environmental information that comes with your device… it probably gives a temp range that it works in… PP thoughts only, not a physician… Best regards, -a- Quote
ilovecornfields Posted June 27, 2021 Report Posted June 27, 2021 All pulse oximeters have that issue with poor perfusion (the “pulse” in pulse ox). Some of the more expensive ones do better than others. Ear and nose probes often work well in low perfusion states but it would be awkward in an airplane. I usually just put my hand in my pocket to warm it (or you could put it under your armpit if you want). Physician thoughts only, not a PP... (sorry, @carusoam. I’ve always wanted to do that). 2 1 Quote

That’s very interesting, there have been times when it’s taken forever to get a reading on my pulse ox and I figured it was a hardware issue but maybe it’s due to this? Quote
