Anapulse Finger Pulse Oximeter | Digital Display | Heart Rate & Oxygen Level Readings | Batteries, Carrycase and Lanyard Included | CE Approved | NHS Supplied (ANP100)

I bought this after a CPR course leader recommended this (type) of product. He said whipping one of these out of your first aid kit bag would give a frightened heart attack patient immediate confidence in you! I live next door to a public defibrillator (so could get a call any day) and I already have a blood pressure monitor (for personal use) so I thought - why not? It was super-easy to set up with the (supplied) batteries. Obviously, I immediately tested it on my middle finger (been in hospital a few times so I knew the drill - and it was dead easy to use) and it gave me two figures: my blood oxygen level was 96 (anything above 95 is OK); can't remember my heart rate but it sounded normal... I can't comment on the accuracy (as - of course - I have not done any comparative testing) but I gave 4* for accuracy as it felt to me like it was giving good results. IMO, this is a good bit of kit to have in your bag if you are a first-aider - lightweight, not that expensive... Also very useful if you ever think you may need to report a patient's condition (e.g. a relative) to emergency services.

Very useful

I've only received the device today so this review must be read with that understanding. It arrived well packaged in protective hard sponge in a proprietary box. It comes with a rubber protective cover (I'll not use that) and lanyard (not use that either) and a small nylon protective carry/storage bag with velcro fastener and belt clip. This is very useful for safe storage of the device when not in use. Two triple 'A' batteries are included which it is claimed will power the device continuously for twenty or so hours so in normal use they should last quite some while as each use realistically only takes about ten to fifteen seconds to get the required readings. Not a great deal more can be said other than it appears to work and appears to be accurate. One thing though, on my first use I read the numbers wrong meaning I took the pulse rating to be my O2 reading and vice versa......then I put my glasses on and realised my error! Only minor fly in the ointment was the plastic screen covering the read-out is pretty scratched up. Either this is a refurbished device (I sincerely hope not) or just down to poor quality control at the (likely) Chinese factory where these are put together. Overall an essential bit of kit for those who suffer COPD, asthma or any other breathing problems and for the outlay it seems to be great value.

Handy little gadget - which provides an immediate reading of your pulse rate (top number, see photo) and oxygen saturation level (bottom number). If you or a family member are feeling under the weather it can offer you peace of mind if the numbers are ok, also if you need to phone Doctors or 111 they are grateful for the information. Make sure your hands are warm to the touch as the reading might not be accurate, also nail varnish and gel nails affect the reading. In summary, easy to use, reasonably priced, well made and an excellent tool to monitor your health.

Very pleased with this oximeter. It is accurate not like my previous one that was out by approximately 3-4 in readings. This caused problems with health as I didn’t realise how low SATS were. This is much better and I can manage health better.

This is so simple and useful I am just sorry we didn't find it sooner. My mother suffers from chronic Asthma and C.O.P.D. We use oxygen daily and her oxygen sats are very volatile. So keeping us informed is this little gadget that I didn't know we could buy till recently. WOW. Simply a 'cant do without now we've got one' kind of tool. It's dial is easy to read and understand in BOLD red numbers. It constantly changes as the levels move up and down so you can get a running reading. We were blown away with the ease of use and quality. The device is made from a hard quality plastic with areas of soft grip rubber. It comes with a decent quality long lanyard to put around your knock, together with a small clip case AND a quality canvas and Velcro pouch. VERY good product which I highly recomend for anyone who suffers with breathing difficulties or for a relative who is caring for someone to help you keep an eye on their oxygen levels. It takes all the gues work out of the situation. I no longer need to convince mother to put her air back on, she knows within seconds if she needs it. Can't think how we coped without one and never knew you could buy them so really very chuffed with this little gem.

I am a first responder and I purchased two of these for our kits. For the price they are really good. On opening the box, it comes with a soft cover, an outer case, a lanyard and two batteries. The batteries and the lanyard are easily attached/fitted. To start the meter just press the white button on the to and attach it to the persons finger. It takes a few seconds to start up and show results. The display is nice a big so easily read and it shows the Sp02 levels and the pulse. We also have the ONYX pulse oximeter so I put these on side by side and the readings were the same. The ONYX retails at around £125 and does the exact same thing this one does which was only £20. In the photo you will see the displays of both the ANAPULSE 100 and the ONYX.

Quality product

Me ha sorprendido muchísimo. Lo compramos porque mi mujer es asmática, y necesitamos controlar la saturación cuando tiene crisis. Es muy rápido y muy preciso. Con varias lecturas mantiene la fiabilidad, incluso cambiando de persona. Viene con las pilas incluidas, un protector y una funda. Las instrucciones están en inglés pero no son necesarias, simplemente encender poner n el dedo y la lectura sale en segundos. Contentísimos con la compra.

The carry pouch and lanyard were missing, but otherwise the product works well.

Costo contenuto ma ottima qualità. E' di facile utilizzo e rappresenta uno strumento essenziale da avere in casa in periodo COVID

Tres utile

Très bon produit, tester avec le même appareil chez un pneumologue. Article que je recommande pour ceux qui sont atteint de BPCO
