True, I did read about them having a that error margin, I also read that people with elevated Co2 levels (of which my mother is one) can have falsely high Spo2 readings on pulse oximeters by up to 1 to 3%, something about the oximeter not being able to tell the difference between oxygen molecules and co2 molecules and the oximeter giving a combined total % in it's reading if I recall correctly.robbob2112 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 5:50 pmExcellent, that is a couple of steps up from any of the general line of cpap machines.
I might think about an oxygen monitor over time. The cheap finger devices can be off by up to 5% and can cause mis-reads for things like cold hands and por circulation. It is absolutely not required.
So follow up blood gas testing will definitely be required also I imagine.
