Pulse Oximeters, Nebulizers and "The Vest"
Many times people come looking for durable medical equipment to help them through times of chronic illness. This can be anything from a pulse oximeter to measure oxygen levels and heart rate to a portable walker. As we browse the internet looking for suppliers, we will add distributors to this site. We do not endorse any of these companies nor do we receive funding or kickbacks from any of them. We are simply supplying you with information so that you can form your own decisions on what works best for you.
Pulse Oximeters
To order a pulse oximeter, most companies will require a prescription from your doctor. Check with your insurance company as this product may be covered.
This site is for the Nonin oximeters that so many Alpha 1 patients have. There are multiple models out there. This company also has blood pressure monitors available. They offer free shipping.

In addition, this company offers the Nonin oximeter at a comparable price to the site above. They too offer free shipping. If you go to their home page, you can also find blood pressure monitors.
http://www.scantechmedical.com/nonin.htm
This company offers two different companies making pulse oximeters: Nonin and BCI, both at comparable prices.

Here's one more company offering pulse oximeters, Nonin and BCI models.

Nebulizers
The Scan Tech Medical company offers nebulizers on their site as well as the tubing kits. Free shipping was offered by UPS at the time of this posting.
http://www.scantechmedical.com/nebulizers.htm
This web site offers Omron portable nebulizers. One thing I did notice was that they offered a model that had an optional car adapter available as well as working on electricity.

The Vest Information
Breaking up thick phlegm in the lungs and bronchi remains a problem for the patient and the doctor. The vest is a pulmonary device used to help break up that phlegm and allow the patient to expel it more easily. This is the company website for the device. When ordered under a doctor's prescription, it is generally covered by insurance under durable medical equipment.
