Also are the fnger tip ones suitable for some one of mikis sixe she usualy has the ones that go on her foot with tape, i havent used this type befoer

Thanks again for you time and help

I haven't used either of those specific monitors, but I do use similar ones. They are comparable to the bigger, standalone tabletop monitors in terms of accuracy, and they are very convenient. Throw it in your pocket and go, so to speak. However, they do not work well on kids under 7 or 8 years old. They are designed for an adult finger, and kids' little fingers often won't trigger the machine to take a reading. The price you found is a good one, assuming it is a brand new unit.

cool thanks for your quick reply, i found an even cheaper brand new one from Hongkong, bt it is also a finger one so i dont think i wil bother,

They seriuosly need to bring out a baby one would be so much easier lol typical, i just hate the desk top ones wth the feet tape, and its looking like she wil be back on it soon

thanks again your the best

Amy, see if you can find something like this. It's portable (but not as small as the finger units) and uses the same probes that you would use at home. List price is outrageous, but sometimes you can find a deal on eBay, etc. These are the same model we use at work and they are very reliable and accurate.

cool thanks i wil check it out

with the finger ones is ther no way off useing it on a small child like onther food or ear lobe or anything like that, i knowit might be a silly questionbut im thinking for 100 dolars includeing shipping maybe i should try it

thanks again lori

Sorry, Amy, they just don't work on little ones. It won't fit their foot or earlobe, and if you do manage to get a foot or toe into it, it just doesn't have a good enough reading to be reliable. Personally, I think it would be a waste of your $100 and shipping, but you could always try it. Miki is just so small, I don't think there is much of a chance of getting it to work for her for another couple of years.

okay cool thanks i wil take your advice and look for the one you sent me the link on

Thanks again
