If anyone gets one or is offered one of the ones at the $250 price and has already bought or doesn't want it I would like to purchase it from you.

I'll be darned!!!

Post by Arizona-Willie » Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:36 pm

That is great news!!!

In some ways I hope my cancellation doesn't get processed in time to stop the shipment ... wouldn't mind comparing the two.

Hoping, of course, that I could sell the one I liked least.

So far this one looks just fine, although having the display on a wristwatch like device instead of the finger device might work better.

I'll see how difficult it is to keep it on tonight. It clamps on your finger just like the ones in the hospitals I've been in. Don't think it will be a problem.

So far though I'm quite happy with this one ... but haven't really had time to put it through the wringer and see how well it downloads and how the software works.

thats a shame that pricing has gone from $250 to $500 in such a short time. it puts someone like me who would consider purchaceing out of reach. i have no insureance & get my care from the VA hospital system. so basically i'm on my own.this whole therapy thing can be a money pit. does someone (62)that can hear their lungs wheez w/ c.o.p.d.,have a regurgitating heart valve ,reumatoid arthritis ,and has recently started cpap really need one of these contraptions. or is it just plain excessive ? thankyou, tim

Hi Deerslayer,

The $250 price was an error - that was supposed to be for the version without the software and download cable. $500 is the "retail" price.

I agree it's expensive. How valuable it is I don't really know. I'm looking to find out what my nightly desaturations look like as part of tuning my therapy.

Mindy

It appears from Ron's post that four more lucky people will get to purchase one for the $249 price this week if they call and mention that they read Ron's post.

Has anyone done this yet? What did you find out?

DSL just rang the door bell and delivered a package!! Yep, it's the PulseOx 7500 (full version!). It took over a month to get but full props to Med1Online for honoring their mistaken price. Can't wait to try it.

Dang, I missed the offer when I red Ron's post. I just sent her an email to see if any of the 4 were left. Will let you know. Thanks for seeing it Carol.

7500 just arrived

Post by BrianT » Wed Feb 13, 2008 4:18 pm

FYI
Monday Wes returned my call inquiring about the 7500 I ordered on Jan 11th, He told me the 7500 units had finally arrived and would be going out on Tuesday. Today (Wednesday) DHL delivered it just as Wes said they would. It is the full version with software and USB cable. And Med1Online honored the original price! It looks like a quality unit and has "made in Israel" on the back.
The instructions look to be straightforward and I'm looking forward to giving a try tonight.
Brian

finally!

Today, DHL delivered the SPO oximeter I ordered. It was shipped yesterday and via overnight express, as Julie promised. (She never emailed me the tracking number, but that's a moot point now.)

It's the full model with USB cable (proprietary) and software. It works right out of the box, just install the included battery and slip the thing onto your "digit (finger)", as it states in the manual.

Mindy, you're next (I hope!)

Best to you all,
Ron

I received my SPO 7500 today, with software and cable. It was shipped overnight as promised. Being in business myself, I know how things can sometimes go sideways. While it took a while to straighten out, Med1online came through in the end, honored the below cost price, and delivered the unit overnight when it became available. As far as I am concerned, they have fully redeemed themselves. I think those who didn't receive their unit today should expect it tomorrow or should expect to be contacted by Med1online at least. Perhaps there was some reason the shipper couldn’t deliver to some people today. Med1online choose to do the right thing by their customers and lost some money in the process. I am confident they will follow through now. Thanks to Wes and Julie and the owner of Med1online for making good on the pricing error.

I never got the tracking number either but I did get mine yesterday also. Will give it a try this weekend.
