Overview
Clip it on, press the button, and the Zacurate oximeter reads blood oxygen saturation and pulse rate at the fingertip within seconds. An upgraded LED and sensor aim for readings even at low perfusion, and the OLED screen rotates to face either the wearer or a helper.
Flexible display orientation is what sets this model apart in daily use, letting a helper read results without twisting the wearer's hand. Accuracy claims come from the maker's lab conditions, and the device is sold for sports and aviation, not diagnosis.
Who it's for
Mountain trips, ski days and flights are where a quick fingertip oxygen reading helps. Patients who need a certified medical monitor should get one from their care provider instead.
Pros and cons
- Display rotates to face a caregiver
- Pulse waveform shows signal strength
- Batteries included, ready out of box
- Protective cover and lanyard included
- Not a medical device per maker
- Accuracy claim based on lab conditions
- Finger size range not listed
Performance notes
Reading quality depends on finger placement under the LED and on blood flow in the fingertip. The waveform amplitude shows signal strength, and a low wave means perfusion is too weak and the reading should be retaken.

Frequently asked questions
Will the Zacurate 500E work on small or child fingers?
Zacurate does not list a finger size range or minimum age for the 500E. Placement matters: the finger must be positioned right under the LED lights for a reliable read.
Is the Zacurate 500E a medical device?
No. The description states it is not a medical device and should be used for sports and aviation only.
Can someone else read the Zacurate 500E screen?
Yes. A button press switches the OLED display between layouts, including ones that face a caregiver.
What does the wave on the Zacurate 500E screen mean?
Each wave matches a heartbeat and its height reflects blood flow. A low wave means perfusion is too low for a reliable read, so retake the measurement.
