Top 5 Oximeter in Malaysia (Updated 2021)

It is very likely that you may have heard about oximeters by now. The device has gained popularity in recent times largely due to the rising cases of Covid-19.

The Health Ministry of Malaysia had recently noted that “Happy Hypoxia” was among the factors that saw a surge in the number of hospitalised Category 4 and 5 Covid-19 patients. (Happy Hypoxia patients would have a low level of oxygen as shown on the monitor but they do not experience breathing difficulties).

So what is the oximeter? It is a medical device that measures the quantity of oxygen in the blood.

Clipped onto a fingertip, the device displays both oxygen saturation, as a percentage of red blood cells carrying oxygen, and your pulse rate. A normal reading is between 95% and 100%, with anything below that considered as low.

It’s interesting that you can be fashionable too while monitoring your oxygen! Introducing Xiaomi Mi Band 6 Smart Wristband as another option that you can have other than the usual fingertip oximeter.

It has a 1.56-inch high-resolution full touch screen that makes the displayed content striking. It serves as a health tracker that is able to measure heart rate, sleep management, pedometer, calories burned measuring, steps counting, distance recording and sedentary reminder.

4: JOYLEE® Medical Pro Oximeter

JOYLEE is a local brand selling healthcare products, initially just for pregnant women, but has now branched out to everyone in the family.

One of the distinct features of JOYLEE is that the reading on the oximeter can be rotated in 4 ways, whereas most oximeters can only be read from one angle. This friendly feature is definitely a plus point for people who likes convenience.

Besides that, instead of just 1 year, JOYLEE offers a warranty of up to 2 years for its oximeter.

The product receives an average of 4.9 stars out of 310 ratings.

Customer Reviews

“Very excellent customer service and answered all the questions regarding the oximeter. Their oximeter is registered with MDA and we were able to register their product E-warranty through Joylee website. Recommended if you are looking for an original and registered oximeter compare to another cheap ones”

“Received item in good condition 🤩 This is a pre-order item so please take note of the batch delivery date based on product description. Better to spend on a good oximeter rather than buying a cheap/fake one that gives you inaccurate results”

5. Realme Watch 2

Another alternative to traditional oximeters… this time, in the form of a watch.

Originally priced at RM 229, Realme Watch 2 can be considered as a budget-friendly smartwatch from a reputable brand (sister company of Oppo).

Add to favourite or bookmark the product on shopee because Realme will drop the price occasionally on special days. For its price and many features, I personally think this is one of the smartest choices if you are looking for an alternative to normal oximeters.

And that’s not all, if you receive a faulty product, you can exchange for a new smartwatch within the 1 year warranty period.

With a total sales of 9.4k, the product receives an average of 4.9 stars from its 6k ratings.
