Learning curve
I'm in EMS and the reason I got this is that my partner of the day lost my previous pulse-ox.<br />The asymmetrical design dose make it fall off of moving fingers easier, best to just have the pt rest their hand on something like their lap. charging works easily via USB-C, battery can last me 2-3 days or about 12-15 patients if left on for a 15-20 minute transport. The accuracy is where you need to be careful because it will take 20-30 seconds for your first numbers to appear and they are wrong and always low for spo2 by 5-10%, for the real reading you need to wait a full minute or more.<br />Your best bet to make full use of this pulse-ox is to get it on early, leave it there while assessing pt and come back to it later. Just remember treat the patient not the machine.<br /><br />After further use I have found it will not work with fingernails exceeding 1".
