Does this give accurate readings for small fingers?

I think so. It fits securely due to clamp design. I found most important tosit up straight, relax for a few minutes, then look at reading.

When I was in Pulmonary Rehab in Oct and Nov of 2013 I took my Quest Oximeter to class and compaired it to the ones being used in Rehab and it was right on. Now to your question about small fingers. My grand daughters 7 & 5 both tried the Qximeter and both got readings. So I would say yes it works on small fingers and is accurate.

I see no reason why not. I'm 4'10" and wear small rings and it works just fine for me. I wear a sz. 6 glove (small).

Yes it does. the only problem I had was when I dropped it and the batteries fell out. Works just fine, I have not yet brought it to my doctors to 'calibrate it' against their equipment however I believe it's pretty accurate.

In my experience it is done taking the reading in around 20 - 30 seconds but I didn't have a good experience as my readings were all wrong. I know this because every plant I put it in even the crusty dirt plants got the same "wet" reading. I returned mine and am using the finger method which is 100% more accurate and free! You aren't supposed to leave it in the plant.

yes. but the firmware of the monitor is adjusted for a specific size cuff . if you change to different size cuff . The accuracy is slight affected.

My answer would be a big YES... it seems very accurate and I often compare it to the one my Step-mom uses daily at her Hospital job.It's consistant within 2 or 3 percent. My husband and I are in our late 50's and we both use it once every morning...again after our daily workout at the Gym...and again a few hours after the Gym workouts. six times a day and it has never failed to give good solid readings.

This size may not be ideal for small children. It may be too big and not give an accurate reading. This device seems to be adult size. There are other pulse oximeter geared towards children. Hope this helps.

Yes it will fit anyone's finger with comfort. I'm 86 yars old and the unit gives immediate results and is very accurate. JWD

Yes, it works very well for the little finger unless your finger is unusually small. It fits my little finger better than the index finger i bought it for.I hope this is helpful.

It would not be accurate with fruit because of the thickness and hardness of the skin. It could give you the hardness of the skin for whatever value that may be but would not tell you the ripeness of the flesh of the fruit.

Short answer is no. I use mine in the ER, on children with big enough thumbs it works well, but small thumbs/fingers aren't picked up by the probe. I have had mine almost a year, use it three nights a week, drop it regularly and it is still great.

No. It measures whole grams and tenths of ounces, but not hundredths of either.

I've found that it can be very temperamental and if the sensor and pick-up are not close enough together or lined up properly then it will not give you a reading. But with occasional small adjustments mine works every time.

Yes, stylus works more precise than finger. I used the same stylus I use for my ipad works great

Yes, it will work. I just tested it on some small kitchen items like spoons/measuring cups and I am able to get a reading as small as 0.1 pounds

If by tip sensitive you mean can you touch a surface with it and get a reading the answer is yes. However I don't know the + or - of how accurate it is.
1908455
Yes. You have to press and hold the button as it measures your heart rate from your finger.

I can only resopond as an adult -- but, I can tell you that it matches my readings at the doctors office. Cold fingers do not give an accurate reading in a MN winter. I am very happy and have no concern about the accuracy of my meter.
