Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Kay, Mine is GE Ohmeda TuffSat. I took it to rehab and had it hooked up at the same time that I wore the headband oximeter and it read the same. Some cheaper ones can be as much as - or + 3.....not close enough to suit me! My insurance paid 100% of mine with the doctors prescription.
