ViATOM Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter Approved UK Built-in Offline Storage, Oxygen Monitor finger Adults for Heart Rate Blood Oxygen Saturation Includes Carrycase and Lanyard, Free APP

Picked up the ViATOM Bluetooth Pulse Oximeter (UK approved, built-in offline storage) and it’s been solid. Readings are consistent and line up closely with other devices I’ve compared it against, which is exactly what you want from something measuring oxygen saturation and pulse. It powers on quickly, is easy to use, and gives clear, readable results without any faffing around. The Bluetooth feature is handy if you want to sync data, but I really appreciate that it has built-in offline storage too — you’re not forced to use your phone every single time. One feature I genuinely like is the little alarm if levels drop below 95%. It’s not obnoxious, just a helpful prompt that makes you pay attention. Subtle but reassuring. Build quality feels decent, display is bright and easy to read, and overall it’s just a straightforward, dependable device. If you want something simple, accurate, and with the added bonus of alerts and storage, this is a great option. Five stars. Does exactly what it’s meant to — and does it well.

This is easier to use and more reliable than other Oximeters I’ve used. The Oximeter starts automatically when the finger is inserted and consistently produces results that are easy to read and seem accurate. The associated app is easy to connect and provides a way of keep track of readings over a number of days which is a lot more useful than Oximeters that simply record only the result at the time. Overall an excellent product that is easy to use and captures data in a meaningful way

I haven't managed to mess about with all the memory functions yet as I've not needed to but I know how. Due to cognitive issues I really struggle with using devices that have a single buttons/couple of buttons to cycle through so many options, I just can't do it... And yet this device is so clear, great instructions and easy to use, it's been really helpful and actually helped me get treatment yesterday as I could prove I had a consistently very high heart rate. Turns out dental infections can be terrifying! It has spread into my sinuses and from there, it had direct access to my brain. Without my notes recording all my readings and photos of the results as evidence, I don't think I'd have been taken seriously at all. So I for one am extremely grateful! The beep alarmed from a high or low reading is also very useful!

First impressions The build quality is what you would probably expect from a device in this price range. The device is more expensive than others due to the Bluetooth option. I paid £25.99 which is about £10 more than for similar devices without a Bluetooth option. There are two different device colours. Blue for the EU and grey for the UK. I'm in the UK and was sent the grey version. No idea what the difference between them is. These are the main details written on the label on the back of the device: Fingertip Oximeter Wellue Viatom www.viatomtech.com Model PC-60FW Date: 2020-12 Rating: IP22 The IP22 rating apparently means this: Protected from touch by fingers and objects greater than 12 millimetres. Protected from water spray less than 15 degrees from vertical. On the back of the box it says that the device was manufactured by Shenzhen Creative Industry Co. Ltd in China. Box contents 1. Oxygen Meter 2. Carry pouch 3. Lanyard 4. Device instructions - for standard models 4. Bluetooth connectivity and app guide 6. Pair off AAA batteries The carry pouch is made of a type of thin synthetic suede with a draw string at the top. Very basic but will protect the device. I will probably look to find an alternative at some point if I can be bothered later. Using the device It was easy to get the batteries in and powering up the unit is as easy as putting a finger inside. Due to the auto wake feature it means the device is always in stand by mode which will eventually drain the batteries. The instructions say to remove the batteries if the device is not going to be used for seven days. The button on the front has three functions. 1. Without a finger inserted; the button displays the previous 12 readings. 2. With a finger inserted; the button rotates the display. There are four different orientations. 3. With a finger inserted and after a long press; the button reveals a settings screen where you can turn off the reading beeps and alter the alarm levels of both the oxygen and the low and high pulse rates. I had no trouble taking readings myself. My hands are warm and dry and I think they are quite normal looking. I did try it on my elderly father and he struggled with it. Even though he put his fingers in exactly as I did, it took him so much longer to get a reading. I tried this with a variety of his fingers and they all had the same issue. As I bought the device for myself I'm not going to let this issue affect my rating but it is something to be aware of. The device appears to work by shining a red LED though your finger. You get a glimpse of the red light as you take your finger out. During normal operation this red light is not visible. The instructions give a hint on how you can prove that the device is taking accurate readings. They suggest that you could hold your breath for over 50 seconds which should result in lower oxygen blood levels being read. I tried this and my levels did noticeably drop. The Android app Name: ViHealth Developed by: Viatom Version (at time of review): 2.72.0 Permissions required: Location and Storage It was quite straightforward to install and connect up to the device to the app. As long as Bluetooth is enabled on the phone the app should connect to the device without any difficulties. The device just appears and you click on it. If Bluetooth is disabled on the phone the app can be started in an offline mode. The app offers to open the Android setting page so you can enable Bluetooth. After taking readings they drop into the app and then can be accessed in the history section. New readings are highlighted with bold text. After they have been viewed the bold text reverts back to standard text. Readings can be deleted by sliding them to the side and then clicking on the big red delete button. It's possible to examine each reading session's data in detail but it remains a separate data set. There is an overview display on the history tab but to examine detailed measurements from the readings you need to go into the individual datasets. Notes can be added to each dataset. This is done via an edit button. Exporting from the app is quite poor. The only export option in version 2.72.0 is via screen shots of the individual dataset graphs. There is no option to export raw data for Excel in the Android version. No CSV export is provided. I was quite disappointed by this. On Google Play this app is listed as not being available to users in Europe. I'm in the UK but this did not stop me from installing the app. This might be something to do with GDPR and the permissions the app required. It needs storage and location permissions. I did not have to sign up for anything or give any personal details. I expect my location and readings are being stored in a big Chinese database which is probably totally against the GDPR regulations. Conclusions I'm happy to recommend but really can't give it top marks due to the lack of a raw data export feature in the app. Knocking one star off for this. Having fingers that the device can't read from would be a big negative point. Luckily I have the right type of fingers! If you run into finger reading issues just send it back and look elsewhere but I suspect that most of these devices use similar technology so might also have similar issues with your fingers. Hope this review helps.

Suspecting that I might be suffering from sleep apnea, I arranged for an appointment with my local respiratory clinic. I thought, that before I go there (in 3 weeks time) that it would be very useful to purchase an oximeter so as to have some ‘evidence’ of the situation. What attracted me to this particular model were its price and functionality. The unit is very compact and it’s very easy to read oxygen levels and pulse rate. The added bonus of bluetooth connectivity to my phone and a ‘free’ app, that allows you to very easily record and view records of your readings is extremely useful.

I already had an oximeter, but I needed one that would record. this does that. the app is easy to use and gives me all the information I need. it is good quality. shows your oxygen level, it has good functionality, it is good value for money. it also shows your pulse rate. having the recording functionality really helps. I would recommend.

Works perfectly - easy to set up and also easy to record on phone app via Bluetooth so you can look back at changes with actions. Remember to cross reference the SPO2 reading with a health care providors SPO2 reading as machines can vary slightly in reading range. Auto on when applying is very convenient with no buttons to press. I would recommend

Superb piece of kit

Algunos médicos recomiendan tener un oxímetro de pulso para detectar si un caso de Covid19 va deteriorando. Así que puede ser importante. Este aparato en particular es facilísimo de utilizar. Lo colocas en el dedo y en unos segundos te da el nivel de oxígeno (%) y el pulso. Luego se apaga solo. No tengo manera de chequear la exactitud de su medida de oxígeno. Con el app gratis en un móvil podrás ver todo más claro aún mediante bluetooth. El único defecto de este oxímetro es que las instrucciones vienen tan solo en inglés. Os doy un resúmen de las instrucciones menos obvias. 1. Con el aparato apagado (fuera del dedo): apretar el botón para ver medidas anteriores. 2. Con el aparato encendido (dedo puesto): (a) apretar el botón para cambiar el formato de pantalla. (b) mantén el botón apretado un rato para ver las pantallas de configuración. Creo que se manejan estas pantallas con apretones cortos y largos. Según una frase en la página V del librito, en EEUU solo se puede vender o usar este aparato con permiso de un médico. ¡Un dato curiosísimo!

Un super produit facile à connecter en Bluetooth, je recommande

Vérification régulière de ma saturation et sur de plus longues période couplé avec le téléphone. Dommage que l'écran n'affiche les valeurs que dans un sens.

La verdad es que no he hecho un análisis de precisión comparado con otros equipos, por lo que desconozco si funciona correctamente o no, pero usándolo entre varias personas da resultados diferentes, dentro del rango esperado y parece que funciona correctamente. Viene con un cordelito para poderlo colgar y una pequeña funda. Quizás la opción de girar la pantalla para poderla mirar en todos los ángulos, que se puede hacer, no sea evidente hasta que uno profundiza en las instrucciones, para saber que se puede girar para verlo en ángulos diferentes. El caso del control de pulsaciones, comparado con una pulsera de actividad, da resultados similares, por lo que en esta parte correcto. Tiempo desde su compra, no es de uso constante, pero las pilas aguantan.
