| xx | what's a good oxymeter these days? All the ones made after covid seem quick-made in china and show fake 99% all the time. | 16:44 |
| xx | and the market is saturated with these fake ones | 16:44 |
| LjL | xx, they weren't made in china before...? | 17:15 |
| LjL | also, citation needed | 17:15 |
| LjL | i have one made in china after covid and it doesn't show 99% all the time | 17:15 |
| LjL | in fact i'm lucky when it shows 95 ;( | 17:16 |
| xx | citation is from me | 17:16 |
| xx | experience testing the ones available in ukraine pharmacies over the last 2 years | 17:16 |
| xx | (pre-war) | 17:16 |
| LjL | how did you test them | 17:17 |
| xx | apparently demand suddenly went up and china blasted millions out in a short time with no focus on quality | 17:17 |
| xx | LjL: doctors were comparing them to what they have in hospitals | 17:17 |
| xx | I never tested them myself | 17:18 |
| LjL | have you considered that cheap amazon non-medical-graded oximeters may have been shit compared to ones in hospitals even *before* the pandemic | 17:18 |
| xx | hence my original question | 17:18 |
| LjL | xx, Contec oximeter with USB port is praised by sleep apnea community, but maybe it's just because it's the only one of its kind (i still just paid it €30), since for me it goes from 98 to 92 in a very volatile manner | 17:21 |
| LjL | not always sold under Contec brand, but you can recognize it from the USB, and still Chinese | 17:21 |
| xx | I had my eyes on some omron (supposedly made in japan) oxymeter, but it didn't have USB | 17:21 |
| LjL | Omron should be good, probably expensive | 17:22 |
| Brainstorm | New from COVID on Twitter: Eric Topol (@EricTopol): Boosters are essential to provide protection, but that may be slipping as the virus continues to evolve.Not encouraging.From >58,000 hospitalizations in the US during Omicron, through mid-June 2022cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7… pic.twitter.com/62b8GfEGxZ → https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1548687660536844288 | 17:22 |
| xx | yeah I'd be hoping that expensive = accurate, but I know it doesn't work that way | 17:22 |
| LjL | USB is useful if you want data saved long-term or you want to relay it to a big display | 17:22 |
| LjL | well Omron has a good reputation for medical stuff | 17:23 |
| xx | I'd like to log it overnight | 17:23 |
| LjL | and it's likely *that* one is medically certified unlike all the ones from China | 17:23 |
| LjL | xx, fyi wearing such a thing (it's still a one-piece oximeter with batteries in it) all night is torture and you need to tape it to your finger | 17:23 |
| xx | I can probably survive torture | 17:24 |
| LjL | thought so | 17:24 |
| LjL | still, based on my personal experience with the Contec, it's a cool device but i can't recommend it | 17:24 |
| xx | spent a lot of time in hospital when I was a child | 17:24 |
| xx | don't really have any good memory of what they used to track oxygenation, I think I had something stuck on my finger all the time | 17:25 |
| xx | but it's a long time ago so it might be a fake memory by now | 17:25 |
| LjL | yeah that's how they do it | 17:25 |
| LjL | but it only contains the LEDs, the processing is done elsewhere | 17:25 |
| LjL | and it can be a bit more ergonomic | 17:25 |
| xx | I guess I could construct something if I wanted to be fancy, but I'd still need one to verify my solution against | 17:26 |
| xx | (that's probably how the certification process is done) | 17:26 |
| LjL | no the certification is you pay to get CE mark | 17:26 |

| LjL-Matrix | And no these oximeters aren't accurate below 90%, they're made for healthy people | 18:01 |
| xx | guess I only need accuracy in the range 90%-99% | 18:02 |
