PulseOximetersDIRECT.com™, the leading online retailer of portable Pulse Oximeter products introduces today the new, affordable $39 FDA approved Landon Medical LM-800 Finger Pulse Oximeter for home use.

"An Oximeter is such an essential medical device for patients seeking to monitor their pulse rate and blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) that we at PulseOximetersDIRECT.com believe that everyone should be able to afford such a device," said Robert Darwin, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. "We are very mindful of the economic pressures on our customers due to the slow economy and it is our goal that affordability of medical devices should not be an impediment to our customers' health."

The FDA approved Landon Medical LM-800 Pulse Oximeter provides digital on spot readings of SpO2 and pulse rate with accuracy and ease. Specifically manufactured to be lightweight and portable the LM-800 Pulse Oximeter provides fast and accurate readings of blood oxygen levels and pulse rate. Small and compact it provides complete portable oximetry solutions while still able to fit in your pocket.

"It is without a doubt that affordability of a pulse oximeter is one of the largest barriers to patients purchasing this incredible medical device," said Dr. Shiv Khanna of the Lavale Clinic based in Cumberland, MD. "However, an oximeter priced at $39 is truly a step in the right direction as far as allowing those who couldn't typically afford a pulse oximeter access to this essential medical device."

The LM-800 Oximeter is of critical importance to those with respiratory and cardiac problems including asthma, COPD, hypoxia, heart arrhythmia, as well sleep apnea and hypopnea.  It is widely used in all health care facilities, including hospitals, physician offices, dental clinics, as well as for home use.
