Beurer PO30 Pulse Oximeter | Determination of heart rate and arterial oxygen saturation for those with medical conditions | Suitable for high-altitude sports | Small and lightweight | Medical device

If you’ve ever bought one of those suspiciously cheap pulse oximeters that feels like it might fall apart mid-reading—this Beurer PO30 will feel like a breath of fresh, well-oxygenated air.This is a proper medical device, not a plastic toy masquerading as one. Readings are quick, consistent, and—most importantly—reliable. I’ve used it to monitor a family member with a lung condition and it’s never missed a beat (literally). The results match those at the GP’s office, which says it all.It’s sturdy, lightweight, and has a clear, easy-to-read display. German engineering over guesswork any day.Save yourself the worry—and the reordering cycle. One of these is worth five of the dodgy no-name imports. Beurer delivers quality you can trust.

This is one of the most accurate finger pulse oximeters i have tried. SPO2 is very accurate compared to other oximeters. However, this unit feels slightly lighter and lower quality plastic than other units. good as it gets for finger pulse oximeters. Would definitely recommend this one over others. will update review if any issues.

I bought this pulse oximeter in Feb 2024 for use in my paramedic role in a GP practice. I work five days per week, and use this pulse-ox daily, multiple times. The reading is displayed 0-99% (as opposed to 100%) which is acceptable at this price point I think.As it has no battery life indicator, my original plan was to wait until the battery ran out before reviewing it, so that I could document how long the battery life was. However, here we are in Sep 2024 and it is still going strong on it's original 2xAAA batteries, so I thought I'd just get on and review it now!The good :- Battery life is great, as noted above.- The display is bright, clear, and accurate.- Although there are no claims made towards this unit working on children, it will usually pick up a reading on around 4 years old and up.- It does pick up a reading reliably and quickly on almost all adults.- It also has a respiratory waveform reading.The bad :- The unit is a little on bulkier side compared to others. There a few lower priced units that are slimmer than this one. Having said this, the accuracy and reliability is better than the cheaper ones, so it seems a reasonable trade off.- The supplied Velcro fastening carry case is good quality, but is far too big for the unit!- Although there is a loop strap supplied, the hole through which you need to pass the thread to attach it to the main unit is so small that I was unable to attach this at all!The ugly :- Looking at the unit itself, it is not the most attractive design. Viewed from above, the display is off centre to the right, which just seems a bit sloppy really.Conclusion : There are a couple of minor reservations which prevent me giving this a solid 5-stars. It is however, a reliable and accurate unit, and a strong overall performer. For me, the accuracy, battery life, and reliability justified the slightly higher price over the many available cheaper sub £20 units.

Accurate , handy, doing the job, well known German tech brand, worth the price !

works well and seems accurate

Good.

Great

We are loving this little device. It's durable, it's measuring something. Does it measure accurately? No idea, really. But at this price point you don't get that much confidence.It does measure my pulse actually, and this is what I'm really using it for %) Pulse measurement is quite accurate. Even draws some sort of graph for pulse!As for oxigen level, well we thankfully never had a situation when we believed our oxigen was low, so we couldn't test what the device shows then. When I'm healthy I'm getting a high reading as I expect.It's nice and cute and doesn't break down easily, this is what I can praise it on with confidence :) And we've had it for a while
