About

The Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is used to detect the blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate of the human body. This product is based on digital blood oxygen technology and uses an advanced DSP algorithm to reduce the effects of motion artifacts and improve the measurement accuracy under weak perfusion. A pulse oximeter is a single data point of your health. If your oxygen saturation numbers look okay, you should still seek medical attention if you have other symptoms, such as high temperature, shortness of breath, headache or persistent cough. This list does not include all possible symptoms.

Product Features
  • Lightweight to carry and easy-to-use
  • Manually adjust the direction of interface
  • LED display, simultaneous display for testing value and bargraph
  • Low battery voltage indication
  • Automatically standby
  • This oximeter powered by 2 AAA batteries (excluding battery)

Correct usage is key to a trustworthy reading:

  • Use in a rested sitting position
  • Ensure the device is properly positioned on your finger
  • Take into account that you may be living at altitude
  • Artificial nails and nail polish, especially gel-based, can produce inaccurate measurements
  • Cold hands or poor circulation can also interfere with the light and produce false numbers
  • Check to see that you are not accidentally reading the numbers upside down if you are getting a strange reading
  • 95% to 100% is an acceptable saturation range. If the number drops to 92% or lower, that’s a cause for concern.
  • People at high altitudes might have levels in the low 90s and still be fine.

Dreams are weird

They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical story lines that nobody questions and flying cars.

And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.

Sad fact: nobody wants to hear it. There is only one dream worth talking about, and that's Martin Luther King Jr's.

Anyhoo, last night we had a dream where we featured half off tickets to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers live at the Department of Home Affairs. They weren't even performing. They just worked there. Crazy, huh?
