Just when you think you have heard it all, you haven’t. This certainly makes it easier than using a USB cord and it will automatically shut itself off when not in use. It will give around 600 readings and uses standard 2 AAA batteries. 
The distance is stated at 100 meters and will send the information to a PC, PDA, etc. Of course you also get an entire audit and data trail of everything submitted and sent. All these “smart” medical devices pretty much have this all built in. Once more, this would be a nice device to connect to a PHR, like HealthVault. The device was approved by the FDA a couple months ago. I just wrote about the Blue Tooth Stethoscope and here it appears we have a companion if needed. BD
With the increased need for remote disease management, there is an opportunity to provide oximetry device monitoring solutions to simplify the exchange of secure information. The integration of interoperable, Bluetooth® wireless technology in health monitoring devices will allow patients, along with their clinicians, to monitor vital signs as they go about their daily lives.
Breakthrough devices such as the Onyx II, Model 9560 will enable clinicians to remotely monitor patients with chronic diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) or Asthma. Wireless oximetry gives patients a new level of freedom and control.

This is an extremely interesting concept. Being able to know something is wrong the second it happens makes things so much easier and less stressful for the patient. I've always liked the concept of being extremely watchful in these situations so that help can be administered immediately if necessary.
ReplyDeleteThis medical device is amazingly useful to people. It's not only handy but also convenient to use. It's good that this is now available for shopping via internet.
ReplyDeleteCalison @ Pulse Oximeter gives thanks for technology making pulse oximeter smaller and economical for patients to purchase. They are so convenient to use and a person can check levels anywhere with out standing out.
