The BEST Oximeter |

If You Exercise, There's Only One Finger Oximeter For You!
After ordering no less than five (5) finger pulse oximeters from Amazon, I finally found one that does what it says it’s supposed to do: accurately measure pulse rate and SpO2!
All five of the “Chinese” manufactured finger pulse oximeters ordered from Amazon could not measure pulse rate while exercising on a treadmill. The accuracy was poor on all five as well. If one keeps their arm, hand, and fingers perfectly still, the ordered oximeters will function. But if you’d like to monitor your workout on a treadmill or other exercise machine, there’s only one finger pulse oximeter that I found does what it says, the NONIN Onyx Vantage 9590.
NONIN invented finger pulse oximeters, and their products are produced in the U.S.A. The 9590 comes with a 4-year warranty as well! Unfortunately, at this time Amazon doesn’t carry the NONIN Onyx Vantage 9590, and it must be ordered from other on-line suppliers. I purchased my 9590 from Concord Health Supply, Inc. (888-970-2999).
Amazon Prime courteously refunded each of the “defective” oximeters I originally purchased, including shipping. ‘Cudos to Amazon Prime!
What sets the NONIN Onyx Vantage 9590 apart from other finger oximeters is its ability to “ignore” vibration and motion while still providing accurate pulse and %SpO2 measurements! I found that by inserting the “bird” finger into the 9590 and then curling my fingers into my hand while rotating my palm up, I was able to move my arms and still obtain accurate readings. Not so with any of the other “Chinese oximeters.” And if you have a question about the product, you can call NONIN in the USA!
In fact, NONIN actually has documented tests validating the feature they call PureSAT Technology for accurate readings even when the 9590 is in motion!
Yes, the NONIN Onyx Vantage 9590 costs more than the inaccurate, intermittent “Chinese oximeters” but if you’re truly interested in fast, accurate readings when motionless or when working out and moving, the NONIN Onyx Vantage 9590 is a bargain! Learn from my failed experiences with cheap imitation “Chinese oximeters”. Don’t waste your time and $$$, get the NONIN Onyx Vantage 9590 first and avoid aggravation and anxiety!
