Which unit are you using, and which unit do you wish you had? I've seen
the Minolta Pulsox-3, which looks ideal except for costing 2.5 times as
much.

I've been using the Palco Labs "Aero" for the last 5 years and I wouldn't
change.

Why do you prefer this to the Minolta unit?

Palco doesn't make oximeters any more, and the company that bought their
line (Mediaid) offers one called the "Aero-Oxy" (but it says Aero on the
front panel). Is this what you have?

Mediaid Aero-Oxy High Performance Pulse Oximeter

The price is pretty good at $325, but a short 6 hour battery life.

You are right. Palco sold off their oximeter business after I bought mine.
Mine looks just like the one you pointed out but it uses an AAA battery and
it lasts far longer than 6 hours. The Minolta looks like a great unit.
That's probably what I would buy now.
