 High quality pulse ox meter for the price (or any price)! Dec 01, 2009
By M. Barnett
I bought the Nonin GO2 for my mom who uses oxygen at night and has had blood oxygen saturation problems lately. Her level is normally 97-98 but sometimes drops to 90. I wanted her to know when it got low. I researched several brands of home meters. Nonin, I learned, makes professional models costing hundreds. But the GO2 uses the same technology in the home use meter. The difference is that the GO2 is not "certified" thought technically its just as accurate and reliable as a professional unit. The meter is very easy to use. It automatically turns on when placed on the finger. It takes 5-10 seconds to give O2 level and pulse rate. Then it shuts off automatically once removed. A single AAA battery lasts about 4000 readings. It has a great warranty (2 years) and seems very accurate. Highly recommended product!

 Not the best pulse ox out there Mar 29, 2010
By Anon
I am a respiratory therapist and I have been using this device for about five months now. It is relatively cheap compared to the Nonin Onyx but as a medical professional I would recommend spending the extra money and having a nicer device. This pulse ox does not read sometimes. (not because of fingernail polish or hypotension/hypothermia; although that messes with the reading too like all pulse oximeters) This pulse ox tends to read lower than usual than most other devices. Why? I don't know.
Is it bad? Not entirely, This is probably the ideal device for athletes who want to check their pulse and oxygen saturation.
In other words, it's perfect for those who are completely healthy and normal, It's only $99 and will work great for you.
Is it great? No, I would recommend using a Nonin Onyx if you are buying to use in a hospital or medical setting,
Cough up 200 dollars.

Nonin G02 pulse oxidometer Aug 29, 2009
By Ofer Bretter
After using this product I came to a conclusion that it really doing its job.
It give very accurate results and is very easy to use.
product main properties:
- Continues measurement (results displayed and updated continuously).
- Automatic ON and OFF (no buttons!!!)
- clearly readable LCD display (with backlight) - Very accurate. results are repeatable - tested on different fingers both hands, on short time period,
resulting difference + or - 1BPM, + or - 1%SPO2 (which is the device resolution, so the actual accuracy maybe even higher).
- Give an indication on measurement quality (pulse strength indication).
- Uses standard AAA battery.
- Battery level indicator.
Highly recommended!!!

Nonin go2 Sep 23, 2009
By Clare Workman
We were impressed with this item when the nurses used it at my husband's recent hospital stay. I wrote down the name and model number to check out on Amazon. The one we bought works exactly the same and gives peace of mind when recovering from pneumonia. The price was very reasonable @ $99.00.

Easy to use and accurate compared to hospital readings Mar 28, 2010

Nonin GO2 Achieve Oximeter
My father was recently admitted to the hospital with a pulmonary embolism. His oxygen levels were dangerously low and we knew that when he was released from the hospital he would be on oxygen for a while. I bought this oximeter so that we could easily track his oxygen levels at home.
First, and most important, this oximeter is very accurate. We compared its reading to the large unit they used at the hospital and it was always within 1 point of the hospital's reading. After the hospital, my father was in an nursing facility for a month while his lung healed. The entire time we were able to use our oximeter and again it was always within 1 point of the nursing unit readouts. Now he is at home and we have total confidence in this oximeter.
This device is so easy to use. There is no off/on switch, you simply put it on your finger and it takes a reading in about 5 seconds. When you take it off your finger, it automatically turns off. Although a reading appears quickly, it is best to wait 30-60 seconds to let the reading settle down so it is more accurate.
The oxygen saturation reading is in large digits. Below that is your heart rate, in smaller font size. For those of us who need reading glasses, it would be better if Nonin made the pulse rate the same size as the oxygen reading. :) However, it is very handy that both the saturation and heart rate are available on one screen. I didn't realize it when I was researching oximeters, but it ends up that if you need to track oxygen saturation for medical reasons, you typically also need to track the patient's heart rate. It worked out great that this device has both.
An additional great feature is that the LCD display is backlit. When I was researching oximeters, I didn't really think about a feature such as backlighting. Once we had the device, it was obvious that a backlit screen is a must have. It's impossible to read the LCD in a dimly lit room otherwise.
The unit comes with a standard AAA battery. If you use the device very frequently during the day/night, you will need to replace the battery frequently (more than once a week).
Overall, we are extremely happy with this device. After seeing how well it worked, a friend of the family bought one. That unit reads the same as or within 1 point of our original unit. Good to see that a second unit was as accurate as ours.
We've had our oximeter for about 3 months now and it's still going strong. Very happy with our purchase.
