I always have mine in my purse and have gone through airport security several times with it-no problem.

Hi guys, We have found the oximeter very useful. When he is wearing O2 it runs about 98. It is often at 88 or 89, and then he puts on the O2. On the first day he got it, he was playing with it and he turned on the O2. I said, "how come?" He said his level was 84. We were astounded. He said now I know what the O2 deprivation feels like, it has been worse. Now he keeps a close check on it. I sure enjoyed our talk last Thursday. K.

I had all my IPF Reports in my Hand Luggage so they would show cause for carrying such a device. My daughter wasnt' so lucky carrying wheat sack pillows for her 2 kids...she got dragged off in Germany for the full search in case she was smuggling something inside the kiddy size pillows.....the officials took no notice of the fact that she was travelling with children & were

quite prepared to drag her off BEFORE she could organise anyone to take care of them ( & I were on another line & didn't see what was happening until we heard teh kids shrieking for their mother...NICE!) Sooooo oximeters OK but BEWARE of carrying comfy pillows!

I enjoyed meeting your voice too. Remember it's every two weeks. As far as the oxymeter goes , when I first got mine I was shocked at how quickly my 02 dropped.Keep an eye on it KEEP it above 90 at all times. And that is the bottom of the scale. I have tostay above 92 or I am one hurtin puppy. God Bless you both with strength and knowledge to LIVE a wonderful life.
