I wqnt to purchase a hand-held device for oxygen level testing; on e-bay ? (not there)?


I have emphysemia & bronchitis & my oxygen level needs to be over 90% to avoid having oxygen.

here is the listing from e-bay for today http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll...

Do you mean a pulse ox?
Call your doc and ask if they can order you one in

I would go to your doctor and see if he will give you an order for one. That way you can go to a home health or medical supply company. ( insurance or Medicare may cover all or part of the cost) The reason for this is so that if the machine quits working you can have it serviced. However, if you do buy one independently
do not use it in place of a physician's service. Pulse oximeters can give false readings due to a number of things, hands being cold, circulation problems, low blood pressure. If you do end up needing home oxygen DO NOT hesitate to get it. Plenty of people are on home oxygen and still lead productive lives....
