Query regarding oximeter

2021-05-02 12:09:21
Is oximeter useful for general use at home. I was thinking to purchase a pulse oximeter. Please suggest is it beneficial to get one and which one to buy. We have a child of age 3 at our home. Can same oximeter be used to measure oxygen saturation in adults as well as in children?
