Early treatment is necessary. Not the device. Now a days fake oximeter are coming. Your duty is to start treatment as early as possible. Let drs do their job of oximeter. Don't depend on instrument.

Ideally accuracy of a pulse oxymeter can be checked only by comparing the oxygen saturation shown by the oxymeter with that shown in arterial blood gas analysis (abg). But that this is not practically possible. You can buy it from a reliable pharmacy nearby and ask them if they are providing warranty.
