Zacurate 500C Pulse Oximeter | NDIS Respiratory Safety Aid

Monitor your respiratory health with precision and peace of mind using the Zacurate 500C Elite Fingertip Pulse Oximeter. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this advanced diagnostic tool is designed to support NDIS participants living with Asthma, COPD, heart conditions, or anxiety-related breathing difficulties.

While standard oximeters provide a simple number, the Elite 500C features a Plethysmograph—a visual waveform that shows the strength of your heartbeat, ensuring the reading is accurate and not just a glitch. Crucially, this model includes an auditory alarm system that warns you if your oxygen levels (SpO2) or pulse rate fall beyond set limits. This proactive safety feature allows participants and carers to detect signs of hypoxia or distress early, facilitating timely medical intervention and reducing health-related anxiety in the home.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Respiratory Health Management: Provides hospital-grade accuracy (+/- 2%) for tracking blood oxygen saturation, essential for participants managing chronic lung or heart conditions.

• Safety & Risk Management: The programmable auditory alarm alerts the user or carer immediately if vital signs drop below a safe threshold, supporting rapid response to health incidents.

• Reducing Anxiety: For participants who experience panic attacks or health anxiety, seeing a visual confirmation of their oxygen levels and heart rhythm (via the waveform) can help validate their physical state and aid in grounding techniques.

• Carer Accessibility: The patented multi-directional OLED display rotates to six different layouts, allowing a carer to read the screen easily while facing the participant, without twisting the user’s hand.

Key Features & Benefits

• Auditory Alarm System: Issues a warning sound when SpO2 or Pulse Rate exceeds your pre-set limits, providing an essential safety net for vulnerable users.

• Plethysmograph Waveform: Visualizes the pulse strength in real-time, helping to distinguish between a weak signal (cold hands/poor circulation) and a true reading.

• High-Definition OLED: Features a crisp, adjustable brightness screen that is legible in low light or bright conditions, supporting users with visual impairments.

• Multi-Directional Display: Offers 6 layout options that switch at the touch of a button, ensuring the data is right-side-up for both self-monitoring and carer checks.

• Protection Included: Comes with a durable silicon cover to protect against drops and dirt, plus a lanyard for keeping the device accessible during movement or exercise.
