Hi
I have 2 oximeter. One shows 95% and other shows 98% in the same finger. Which one is correct. How to believe which is correct. My friends oximeter showed 92% once. I went to hospital for oxygen saturation check and i checked with the electronic screen one, and there it always comes 98. How to check which one is correct.
Thanks

It all depends upon the oxy meter,and it's charging. Pl do not worry. Any functioning, oxymeter, if shows, below, 92, it is dangerous. Pl consult Pulmonologist online with all the reports and treatment taken.
