ravip Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Anyone ever heard or used a device called Avidhrt made by a company named Venturit? How useful and accurate is it? Or is it just another useless 'toy'? And the average price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I don't know the price but I can't think of many situations in which this would be useful for a layperson to have at home. You do not need to do EKGs at home, and it takes considerable medical skill to interpet them. If you need to monitor your oxygenation saturation you either have a severe chronic lung disease or are gravely ill and should be in the hospital. That is not something ordinary people need to concern themselves with or check at home. People with chronic lung problems may be an exception but in that case a simple pulse oximeter will suffice, no need for one combined with an EKG. Where it could be useful would be for paramedics/emergency teams or in outpatient offices and hospitals. I.e. for use by medical personnel.

ravip Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Thank you very much Sheryl for your expert answers which are so invaluable for lay persons! This was offered by a Telco with some other 'free' packages, hence my query. Thank you very much, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
