Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yesterday I received the oximeter I ordered for a local lady. Before taking it to her, I opened it up and assembled it, then tested it. To my great surprise my resting SAT was 7. My meter had registered only 5 for the past year, which has concerned me because it had always been 7 or 8. I think it possible that my batteries are weak and need replacing, which I will do. The new oximeter was smaller with different design and completely yellow, although I had ordered the conventional one. Anyway, the lady was delighted to get her oximeter and I am still working to get her $100,000 a year Tracleer for free.
