CVS: Buy 1, Get $10 Extrabucks Rewards on CVS Health Pulse Oximeter

This is no deal. These things are like $11 on Amazon.

Because cheap medical stuff off Amazon is generally medical grade or precise.

1-2% variation in accuracy on a oximeter can be the difference between calling 911 or not.

Imagine the difference between a blood pressure cuff being off 2%, 102/72 vs 100/70, and 92% oxygen saturation vs 90%.

Oh, and the $11 ones on Amazon aren't "FSA or HSA eligible"...wonder why.

If you want to get a "cheap" oximeter, get your doctor to prescribe you one. Your insurance will pay for the darn thing.

This stuff is going to be no better than most things you're going to get on Amazon.

If you want to go ahead and overpay, be my guest.

Most people don't even have a use for this

and those that do can simply use insurance as you said. Why anyone would pay $50 for this is beyond me. You're free to waste your money as you wish.

Yes, why would we care if medical devices are accurate?

I showed you how to get this FREE via insurance. If you have a need for it....your insurance will pay for it. You pay for insurance, use it.

Horrible point. Most people don't need blood pressure medication but that doesn't mean people who do should buy BP meds on ebay.

Because if you have a need...you have a need. If you don't have a need and are just curious about you heart rate and rough blood O%, go ahead and spend $10. If you have an actual medical need, which probably requires you checking vital stats several times per day...$50 isn't much of an investment as you are taking about very important...vital stats...that might help you stay alive. But go ahead...be cheap when it comes to $40. Not like a medical doctor told you to check such an unimportant metric.

BTW, someone commenting on a cruise post and pillow discussions right before pretending $40 is too much concerning their blood oxygen....is laughable. Gotta save up those $$$ for a better pillow or a balcony view....real life or death stuff...right?

You're a really salty one, aren't you? Maybe you need to take a hit of your BP meds to get it down after that angry post. You do you. Again, you can waste your money however you'd like. Why anyone would go through post history to make a comment is beyond me. You're a bit psychotic, dude.

Salty? I'm not the one crying about a Oxy meter you claim that you don't need yet can spend hours critiquing. Odd, do you get paid to provide bad info to people seeking medical devices or just do it for sport?

BTW, clicking a profile name takes 2 seconds to see a page of recent posts. Far longer than it took you to whine about a product you don't understand yet go into "psychotic" rants about.

Bye bye, hate to take you away from other posts that are related to more products you'll never buy but pretend to be an expert on. "Just get it on Amazon" said no doctor ever.

I see you have nothing better to do all day but rant and rave about posts online. I've never claimed to be an expert in anything, but you sure don't seem to know much about medicine. Most of these cheaper medical devices are all made in China, so it's very likely that these same $50 oximeters are made in the same factories as the much cheaper alternatives on Amazon. I hope you have a great day and maybe you should consider talking to someone about your anger issues.
