Innovo iP900BP Bluetooth Fingertip Pulse Oximeter

I like the various features including the readout that can be adjusted to your liking. Easy to use, too. I wish it had a “beep” when the reading is completed, but it’s still a nice oximeter.

This is a very easy Oximeter to use, I bought it because of a recent day surgery that had me come out of surgery with a an oxygen level of only 77 and it took an overnight stay to reach a good level again, the app is extremely intuitive and very helpful being able to record and keep a history.
Highly recommended.

This thing rocks. I work as a paramedic and sometimes our $15,000 monitor decides to act like it’s from dollar tree. I use this in conjunction w our monitor and it is a life saver.

Why this thing is so awesome:

1. Bluetooth – absolute game changer for me. not only can you save recordings for later but the connection is seamless. open the app and it instantly connects with no fuss. since i’m usually sitting behind the patient I can monitor the oxygen saturation and waveform with my phone sitting up and not have to constantly look at their finger

2. Plethysmograph – the waveform shown on the screen allows to help verify the accuracy of the readings. A smooth, consistent waveform usually means a good reading. Also pleth waves coincide with mechanical output of the heart so I can see things on it like irregular heart rhythms (for example afib)

3. the screen flips – first of all the device off by itself when you put the finger out which i think is awesome bc i never have to worry about leaving it on but once it is on and on a finger pushing the power button actually rotates the screen. so if you’re taking readings from the side or front you can turn it whatever way you want

4. perfusion index – another way to help verify accuracy. perfusion index generally falls between 0.3 and 10. low number usually means poor blood circulation like cold fingers, low blood pressure, etc.

I find the oximetry readings and pleth waves to be very accurate when compared to our $15k monitor. The reading and heart rate shows the same on both. The heart rate even seems to show the same as our cardiac monitor with electrodes.

I like that it comes w a lanyard and place to attach. I also bought a case for it off Amazon.

The bad: the respiratory rate is not accurate. I’m assuming it is calculating respiratory rate by using algorithms to calculate respiratory activity based on changes in the pleth. This device tends to way overshoot legitimate respiratory rate. It may say respiratory rate is 34 when it is really 12. I do not trust it what so ever. If you’re trying to actually calculate respiratory rate try out an app like MedTimer.

Overall I love it. 10/10. Reliable. App is wonderful. Was so worth buying a more expensive one over a super cheap one.

Very accurate. There is an app associated that will save and track all of your readings. It’s a great tool to give to your Dr.
