And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Thermometer, pO2 sensor, bp/rate monitor, even an ECG monitor are all cheap enough to warrant including in a home kit. Issue with each: is it reliable? Bad data either way is not only bad, it's dangerous. Does this one have published details of how accurate, how precise, and how reliable it is?
For what it's worth: personal use of a couple of these to supplement our physician's office equipment - they match up pretty well and consistent compared to the old reliable manomenter, manual measurement of pulse rate, and glass thermometers. Batteries last for about a few weeks of normal clinical patient load days (average of about 15 contacts).
