When a worried Andheri resident purchased an oxymeter, he only intended to monitor the oxygen level of his loved ones and himself in the pandemic. But he was shocked when he happened to clip it to a pencil, and it read both its oxygen level and heart rate! Kushal Dhuri, who works for a political party, is furious with the China-made device, and says people should stop buying oxymeters that are made in China.

Doctors have used pulse oxymeters for years. Oxymeters have seen a huge demand in the pandemic with even the common man buying them. Due to this there was a shortage of the device in the market. Soon many new companies started selling them and they are also being sold online on many e-commerce websites.
