Question
My mother was recently hospitalized with complications from diabetes, along with emphazema, and congestive heart. She is in need of a blood-ox monitor for home. Suppliers estimate the cost in thousands for new. Unable to rent at this time. Any suggestions? Thank you. DZ

Answer

Dear Ms. Zimmerman:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Based on your outline, your mother may only need a hand-held pulse oximeter unit which measures the O2 content and other vital signs.  These units are reasonably priced.  Please give us a call at 877-706-4480 toll free for more information.
