1. I remember that BMJ had a Christmas Appeal (for donations) about this device: http://www.lifebox.org/what-we-do/pulse-oximetry/

2. I pass on this question... I read here http://www.lifebox.org/purchase-oximeter/ that the probe is from 3 months... but I suggest you email and ask specifically about neonatal use
