In today's Avweb.com e-mail, one of their sponsors
is advertising a 5% reduction in price for their finger
pulse oximeter.

See the webpage at:

http://www.avweb.com/shopping/sponsors/aeromedix.html

Their advertised price, with 5% reduction coupon is
$US 348.98.

The advertised model is the Nonin 'Flight Stat.' They
say this is for non-prescription sale whereas the Nonin
'9500 Onxy' is FDA approved for medical use only and
sold only by prescription.

I don't know if this is a good buy or not, just though
I would pass it along.

The red LED readout seems to work fine, regardless of the lighting
conditions...I've used mine for two years now and have never had difficulty
reading the numbers...I mounted mine on the left side of the cockpit rail so
that you don't have to mess around figuring out which way your finger goes
in to get a good reading...Batteries last the entire season and all in all
for the money it's a great little unit...I do know that it is not accurate
once temperatures fall below freezing...so then you have to revert to having
it in your glove...or otherwise kept near body temp to get accurate numbers.

The pulse oximeter in question is a great device. I own one, and as an
anesthesiologist, I have tested it at a research lab while comparing to
the best pulse oximeters used in medicine.

The Nonin is just as good!

Although it is difficult to read in sunlight sometimes, I have not
found this to be a major problem.

I have a Nonin Onyx and have used it at high altitudes in wave and it works
well. I sure wish it had an alarm that you could set on it, I worry that if
you did actually start getting hypoxic, you might forget to look at it
regularly or maybe get confused and read it wrong. I actually have an extra
one if anyone is interested.
