i heard if kena covid, some will not feel much effect but in actual your blood oxygen level goes low, and danger if below 91%.

thought want to keep one unit at home and found this quite cheap in shopee, any other reliable recommendation or comment?

or just use samsung phone saja?

So cheap ke? Reliable or not?

Adoi even in hospital its all about clinical signs and symptoms.

Its better if you watchout for shortness of breath, decreased effort tolerance (cepat penat), fever and such.

You tengok spo2 24jam nanti takut bodo je.

My Samseng S10+ got built in
Accuracy should be similar/better than those

Even pre-covid /wuhaned I already have those symptom lel, probably because my lifestyle turns a 360 moonwalk.

my wife bought one, not reliable, i compared the oxygen reading with the one at clinic, huge difference.

true dat.



and the price range

sis bought this for the family

https://shopee.com.my/Medisana-PM100-Pulse-...08985.970546269

is it accurate? sold out already. i'm planning to buy 2 units, 1 for myself 1 for parents

Lol its the same shit

dont know what to compare to

u better make sure they really work, cause there are some immoral businessman will just sell you anything, like during covid start, ppl do sell blue led that claim to emit UV light that can kill germ for less than RM20, ppl debunk it and they stop selling, imagine you use them and think its safe, but actually its not, die also donno why.

I got Huawei watch can do it nicely and reliably.

Inb4 buy apple for the ECG also

Have u ever wonder why u can find a lot of cap ayam with fake 'FDA' online at RM 18.90 when legit medical brand like medisana & rossmaxx selling at up to RM400?

how does it detect the oxygen from finger?

These oximeters below RM100 are as useful as cheap handheld thermometers.

oximeters of like this are quite cheap only. accuracy is so-so
even my own honor band got an oximeter, but its only going to run when activated, not all the time. and its not particularly accurate.
it uses is light shining thru the finger to detect the oxygen composition in your bloodstream but this kind of crocodile clip is not comfortable to use for long time. and probably dont have logging (only real-time)

i got my own CONTEC CMS50F with finger probe (its like a watch with wire to attach to the finger) that can track overnight because of sleep apnea paranoia that turned out to be false.
well guess can use for kobis if needed.

Good explanation from a doctor why we need one: https://youtu.be/0oJ4GzsiHt0?t=777
She also advices to get RM 50 - RM 100 range.

Another doctor: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr_dlynx/video/6967220602864209154

The one I got : https://shopee.com.my/i-Aged-Finger-Pulse-O...0594.4333688101

So u do not hv sleep apnea ? Anyway I’m using a cpap machine to treat my heavy snoring.

probably not
probably too much caffeine just faks up my sleep.
logger doesnt indicate any drop in SPO2 and after cutting more caffeine i have more well-rested nights than before.

get huawei band

I did not measure my sleep spo2 , did not go for sleep test. But I recorded my snoring via apps, yes I hv heavy snoring dam. I suspect I hv sleep apnea. Cpap is really a cure for snoring and sleep apnea. Works very well with me.

Apple watch ada oxymeter and ECG. Buy that

Which watch bro?

Rmbr wrongly it's actually honor band
Like Stirling I was paranoid that I had OSA then I bought this as a cheap screening tool for OSA altho I know medically it's not recognized. Kekkk. The real polysomnography test costs a lot.

The components cost is actually cheap

The concept is just led light with some circuit board covered with plastics. No other special expensive sensors. Definitely can mass produce for cheap if your company not profit driven

However the accuracy is the real problem. No name brand got no reputation. You can't simply trust their accuracy and you can't test their accuracy. Named brand care about reputation so they make sure their products really works. They also pay others regulatory body to test and certificate their products. People also trust their brand and willing to pay more

have you bought locks to lock your doors?????

Check out this youtuber he use expensive equipment to check the accuracy of fitness tracker. Maybe if it will be helpful if you want to know the accuracy of your fitness tracker, but he don't test cheap oximeter
https://youtube.com/c/TheQuantifiedScientist

Lower

Oximeter use infra red light, one side beam thru finger and capture on the other side

Smartphones that beam white light and measure from camera very poor accuracy. Samsung use red light slightly better only..

Then smartwatches beam on wrist instead of finger also poor

Those cheap mass oximeter may have reliability issues but its accuracy is likely much better than phones

So if wana grade them

A- medical oximeter
B- reputable oximeter (medisana etc)
C- mass oximeter (china made etc)
D- smartphone red light
E- smartphone white light/ smartwatches

You have any recommendations for C? Feel like buying one. Currently have D/E quality oximeter don't think it accurate at all.

cukur my s9+ still have this sensor

samseng built-in sensor accurate or not?

https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/featur...1265-2021-05-11

Transmittance vs reflectance tech for measuring Spo2

This post has been edited by GTA5: May 30 2021, 02:24 PM

not that accurate, but at least can scan something if spo2 below 90%

This post has been edited by asphiroth: May 30 2021, 02:28 PM

to be honest i highly doubt those writst-based oximeter like apple watch, smart bands etc

but got some hardcore fans says if apple says it accurate means it accurate and reliable

buy mi band 6 saja. built in sp02

Buy one unit with at least 2 years warranty and buy 3 units of the cheap ones. Compare all 4 units...

i thought i was the only one lol
See price of overnight sleep test + need to take day off
vs see price of Honor Band 5 or some SPO2 meter with overnight log
end up take the Honor Band, still useful as HR tracker, SPO2 sensor only detect during time of activation only, no tracker + not really good accuracy.
since was still worried about OSA, end up bought that Contec SPO2 tracker anyway. in the end probably not OSA, probably just caffeine induced insomnia + very rowdy neighbour 🤣

gear fit got such function? free from phone preorder, still dunno what use, beside heart rate, step

interested to get one oximeter,

pls advise which shud we get?

So now sleep with earplugs on?

Is it more accurate than the Oximeter on the finger? Which one is more accurate?

Get Medisana PM100 for RM155 from any Caring Pharmacy, but you have to book from them because it is selling like hot cakes.
Don't buy from Shopee, it's more expensive. It is a reliable German brand with 3 years warranty. I just got one unit.

These are like those rm10 hrm monitor watch.

Obviously if u wanna compare to proper wan I think proper finger oximeter is better. If some no name brand I think better buy honor band at least can use for something else as well...

I've tested my Apple Watch 6 with the medical grade one in hospital that's being attached to the BP machine, it's pretty accurate. Most of the time it's the same, at times it's 1% different and at max variance it was 2%.

Bought. Happy with its suka suka can check my oxygen n heartbeat

Garmin watch can measure Pulse Ox … same?

less caffeine enough
earplugs on standby if awaken due to loud noise, can plug in straight

It's below 95% danger already.
Not 91.

If 91 should be in hospital already.

Useless if can’t interpret. Later those chronic smoker will flock the hospitals just cause the spo2 < 95% .

Oo okok noted

i bought this for my dog

https://shopee.com.my/CMS60D-VET-Veterinary...1020.7563050997

oximeter can only do so much
it gives u the reading but it doesn't resolve your problem

if u feel shortness of breath, lie on your stomach

lie on your stomach

52% also you'll still be playing with your phone

Provide O2 if SpO2 is <90% - aim to maintain SpO2 at 90-94%

good to hear that bro

now looking for cheap honor band or realme band with sp02 sensor coz cant afford epal watch

guys i've already got mine, heres how to test of yours work

clip it in your finger, average reading should be about 96%
after that take a few deep breaths , you'll see the reading go up to 99%
after that hold your breath for 1min, you'll see the reading drop to 90% or below

Wtf... I just view the thread, and they already showing me the ads.

How much cpap? Where you buy?

U bought the cheapo RM18.90 one?

Around 1.5k , China brand BMC, cheapest auto PAP on the market. I bought it from shopee local seller.

lately all the things you mention didnt happen bro.
just he oxygen level very2 low.

According to this doctor, by the time your O2 rate is low, its too late already. Your lungs will try to keep up 100% O2 even in damaged condition until it really really cant.

Anyway better get Doctors opinion before purchase.

Embed fail
Why lut 2 tag in same time

Edited. Thanks.

Which can be anything from cold hands to poor contact to chronic smoker

Just use samseng

RM40 one, also from shopee

left one nicer, got color display lol

Why white one give different reading of Spo2?

Apple watch reliable or not .. sometimes i got 88%

Which is real which is fake.



End up all dieded using cheap @ss apparatus.

bought this one for my dad

white one expensive 1

Now you can resell it 2x the price.

I bought also from shopee. But cheap only 30 ringgit. I guess scam lol. Just said 96..97 like that.

Even a samsung phone can do that, in case if you want to confirm if the reading is accurate.

Healthy person wont go lower than 90

No /k doctor who can tell us what oximeter to buy?
