I bought this item for my parents who are considering to monitor their hearts performance at anytime when they feel uncomfortable. It is easy to carry and easy to use. My dad likes it.
 CheckMate Pulse Oximeter is a great tool for checking oxygen saturations!!! August 30, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
My daughter has cystic fibrosis and she uses the CheckMate by SPO to moniter her oxygen saturations. It is a great tool to use when she feels like exercising or even when she is having problems breathing and we want to check her saturations. It turns on when you slip your finger in and turns off when you take it out. It is fast and seems to be very accurate. We are very happy with it. She does have frequent doctor visits to make sure everything is on target. It is important to have regular checks at the doctor with any home monitoring device.
 NOT a sports instrument for use during activity January 4, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This unit simply does not work for the sports or active market it claims to address. My experience is there is simply no possible way to use this unit while physically active. It will not obtain readings while in motion. This temperamental unit makes it difficult to simply get any reading ... even while perfectly still and carefully aligning your fingertip inside the unit. The unit is not junk, but the claims to work while doing almost anything short of jumping-jacks are not based on reality. Finger alignment takes time, since the unit takes 10-15+ seconds to respond to each new position you try.
The very frustrating minuses:
- Forget about doing any movement while trying to get a reading. You will have to stop all activity.
- The unit is slow and unresponsive. The lag time between changing positions/fingers and perhaps getting a reading is at least 10 seconds and oftentimes more.
- The "Sensor Off" indicator frequently displays for no apparent reason, and readings are lost. This is consistently true, even on different fingers of different sizes.
- The "Weak Signal" icon frequently appears and readings are lost, even when there is no detectable movement of the finger or the unit.
- "Model is not water resistant" and should not be used on wet fingers. Sports instruments need to work when the user is sweaty.
The pluses:
- The digital display is easy enough to read for people with normal reading vision.
- The battery life is very impressive.
- The readings correspond well to other medical units.
Oximeter tips:
- Warm your hands. This and other oximeters have a hard time obtaining readings from cold fingers.
- Persons with CHF, COPD or other medical conditions may need a device that will take readings from the ear. Find out from your care provider what type of device you need.
Bottom line: Accurate, but temperamental. Anyone wanting to use this as a heart rate and O2 saturation monitor during exercise should avoid the unit. The Check Mate works about as well and as accurately as medical oximeters made by others. But, this is NOT a sports instrument for use during activity.
If you want an OK oximeter, this is not a bad choice. If you want a sports instrument, save your money and avoid the buyer's remorse I experienced.
