subject: Market Study Of Pulse Oximeters [print this page] The pulse oximeter market is an ever changing market. The demand is on the rise, which for obvious reasons brings in more competitors. Even though there are more competitors, there are only a handful of companies that are trust worthy brands. Before these recent changes to the industry, consumers were forced to choose between only a handful of competitors who sold similar products at the same prices. The consumer's choices were minimum, and controlled by a few big companies who had a strong influence on the market.
A 18 month study has shown that for about $50, you the consumer, can purchase a pulse oximeter. Now does that get you a great oximeter? Maybe. The reason the answer to that question is maybe, is because not all oximeters are created equal. Some companies try to hide poor quality products by providing a lot of accessories for free. How can you tell what is a good or bad pulse oximeter? Simple. Look at its warranty that is offered. Most oximeters offer a one year warranty, which is standard, but some offer more. Those are the oximeters that are known for quality. Do not let price be your only guide.
It has been shown that pulse oximeters are not used widely by patients at home. The original models were bulky in size, and costly in price, therefore only really available to the medical community. Not everyone in the medical community was even able to be afford pulse oximetry products, but mostly large hospitals. Nowadays, nursing homes, hospices, dentists, clinics, and even athletic trainers use finger oximeters.
