Which finger is best for the Oxymetre in Pulse Oximeter?

Few kinds of research have shown that the middle finger of the right hand gives the best accuracy of SPO2 reading. But you can also use any other finger to measure SPO2 as the difference in accuracy is not much significant among the fingers.

Why do you need to buy a fingertip pulse oximeter along with the oxygen concentrator?

When you use an oxygen concentrator the level of SPO2 will generally increase in your blood. But, if your concentrator has stopped giving purified oxygen and instead gives out normal air, the pulse oximeter will help to know if your machine needs any maintenance.
