Masimo iSpO2 Pulse Oximeter Review
Masimo iSpO2 Pulse Oximeter Review
If someone asked you what you can do with an iPhone, it can be said to play games, listen to music, watch videos and even make phone calls. One thing that you probably would not mention, is to check your blood oxygen saturation. But you can now add to the list thanks to Masimo's iSpO2 oximeter.
A pulse oximeter is a device, the blood hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells are responsible for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to other tissues in the body measurement. If you are a pilot, athlete, or if you suffer from a sleep disorder can control your blood oxygen levels are important.
Oximeters a needle-free way to do this. Attach the sensor on your finger and get an instant reading.
You can buy many (cheaper) standalone pulse oximeters, but iSpO2 is the first compatible with iOS devices. Masimo's oximeters are also among the best selling in the industry, mainly because of a patented technology that accurately measures the oxygen in motion.
The Masimo iSpo2 is a simple device. The white finger clip sensor extends from a wire that connects to your iPhone. It is light, portable and comfortable on your finger.
When you connect your device, iOS asked if you want to access iSpo2 accessories to allow. Permission, open iSpo2 free app, and within seconds you are reading.
The app, like the machine is straight-forward and well designed. The upper reading your oxygen saturation. Below you can see your heart rate (beats per minute). The bottom shows the app you Perfusion Index (PI), a measurement of your heart rate power. The app also displays your heart rate in a waveform graph.
The app also logs your story, and allows you to filter your results via e-mail as a spreadsheet document.
The iSpO2 connected via the old 30-pin connector. If you own a newer iOS device with the new Lightning connector from Apple (iPhone 5, iPad Mini, etc.), you need to buy an adapter. I have tested it on an iPhone 5 by Apple Lightning to 30-pin adapter, and - as far as I could see - it did not affect the outcome.
If there is something about iSpO2 gives you pause, it's price. At U.S. $ 250 (plus an additional $ 30 if you're a Lightning adapter), it is iSpO2 not cheap. Especially in view of the fact that individual oximeters with built-in displays can be had for less than $ 30.
