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?

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

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.
