I'm seriously thinking of purchasing a finger pulse oximeter. Any preferences, and why? Input greatly appreciated!

I can recommend the Nellcor N-395. It's an alarming oximeter with memory and has been a standard in the industry for years. You can view the entire night's data on screen or download it via RS-232. Lots are available used on e-bay and other places for reasonable prices. The N-290 is similar but lacks the screen display for data. If you intend to download the data you'll probably want to get the Score software which is somewhat harder to find used. If you have to buy it new, it'll cost about as much as the oximeter.

Regards,
Bill
