       pulse oximeters

       I would like to raise a concern about oximeters.  From our
       observations at Lifebox, oximeter performance (SpO2, motion
       resistance, perfusion, battery life, probe life, robustness etc
       etc) varies very significantly between devices.
       Unless oximeters placed on the catalogue are independently
       assessed, it will be difficult for purchasers to know precisely
       what is being purchased.  I would strongly recommend that some
       kind of verification is included to ensure maximum clinical
       value is gained for any purchaser

       Thanks for raising this concern, Iain, which is related to
       similar comments about oxygen concentrators.  As you will see in
       a response on that thread, the argument for testing is very
       compelling and we agree it is very important.  We will make this
       an agenda item for the next TRG meeting and raise the issue with
       our donor.
       Regards,
       Bev
