Full details →Who the Zacurate Pro Series 500DL Fingertip Pulse Oximeter is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants an FDA-cleared oximeter and does not need Indian regulatory approval.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting a CDSCO-registered device, or a perfusion index to judge reading quality.
Who the LifeStraw Go Stainless Steel Filtered Water Bottle 24 oz is for
Buy it if: Trekkers and travellers drawing from streams or taps of uncertain bacterial quality.
Avoid it if: Anyone treating groundwater for heavy metals, arsenic or salinity -- filtration does not address any of those.
