Proactive Finger Pulse Oximeter Performance

Editor’s Review in a Nutshell

Positive

The Proactive Finger Pulse Oximeter is versatile enough for personal use as well as professional use in healthcare. The Proactive is accurate within a 2% range of blood saturation and within a 2 bpm range of pulse rate. The real-time feedback and non-invasive finger clip make the Proactive easy to use and highly accurate for multiple readings.

The Proactive is also lightweight and portable making it useful for applications in high altitude activities where blood oxygen levels require monitoring. 

Negative

Because the device is extremely sensitive it can give false readings if there is too much physical movement during readings or if the device is not precisely placed on the index, middle, or ring fingers. For some uses, this might make the Proactive difficult to use without some practice. Batteries are required as well, which can lead to unexpected power failure. However, a low battery indicator helps alert users to replenish power. 

Final Thought

The Proactive Finger Pulse Oximeter is useful for many applications and easy to take accurate readings in real-time. Users just need to adapt to the sensitivity to ensure that movements or misplacement are not affecting results.
