Santamedical SM-165 Fingertip Pulse Oximeter

The SantaMedical Finger Pulse Oximeter is just what the doctor ordered. This unit comes packaged in a box with some directions for use, right on the side. I would recommend reading the provided manual before operating. Inside the box is the Oximeter, a carrying case, instructions, and a carrying handle to attach to the carrying case. The carrying case is a convenient little addition, that gives me a place to store when I am not using. It has a velcro strap to keep closed. The Oximeter takes two (provided) AAA batteries. The unit is sturdy and has a comfortable rubber padding where the finger tip goes. It has a push button to turn on, you insert your finger and wait a few seconds, your pulse and SpO2 will display on the screen. Pushing the button again will flip the text on the screen and add a graph to the numbers. A very handy little unit that functions well.
