Pulse oximeters have now become essential in many homes, especially during this time. They’re used to check your oxygen saturation levels<\/strong> from time to time so that you can ensure your lungs are getting enough oxygen.<\/p>\n\n

Just a few days ago, it was reported that there’s been an increase in people selling counterfeit oximeters<\/a>. But…why’s this an issue in the first place?<\/p>\n

Fake oximeters can be dangerous<\/h2>\n

Using an oximeter that isn’t original may not seem like a big deal at first, but its effects can be pretty adverse. Fake and unauthorized oximeters can give you a false reading<\/strong> and in turn, you will not know if you’re getting sufficient oxygen.<\/p>\n

Local health authorities and medical experts have pointed out<\/a> that you should only buy pulse oximeters that have gotten the approval<\/strong> for sale in Malaysia.<\/p>\n

Check the Medical Device Authority Register<\/h2>\n

Any medical equipment that is sold in Malaysia has to get clearance from the Medical Device Authority Register (MDAR)<\/strong>. MDAR\u2019s job is to ensure that each equipment does the job well so that they produce accurate results.<\/p>\n

To find out the list of approved pulse oximeters, go to MDAR\u2019s website<\/a> and search for \u2018pulse oximeter\u2019. Or, you can just refer to the current list here<\/a>. Once you\u2019re there, you can also look up the specific brand that you have.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, there are 51 brands that have been approved<\/strong>. Do note that it may be updated from time to time, so be on the lookout for more brands being added to the list.<\/p>\n

Buy from authorized sellers only<\/h2>\n

If you frequent e-commerce platforms, you might come across hundreds, if not thousands of pulse oximeters being sold at a fraction of the price. The average price of this equipment is about RM100<\/strong>, so if you see anything being sold at a much lower price, that\u2019s already a telltale sign that what you\u2019re seeing isn\u2019t the real deal.<\/p>\n

Buying an oximeter online is perfectly fine, but just make sure you purchase it from an<\/strong> authorized seller who has the license to sell medical equipment<\/strong>. If you still have your doubts, the safest thing to do would be to walk into pharmacies or any health facility and just purchase it from them.<\/p>\n

We all love discounts and low prices, but remember to always put your health first.<\/p>\n

Besides pulse oximeters, the MDAR also regulates the brands of self-test Covid-19 kits that can be sold in Malaysia. Be sure to purchase only the ones in the list below, as you\u2019d want to get the most accurate results and nothing less:<\/p>\n
