"Since the grounding was lifted, pilots have taken extra precautions such as wearing a commercial pulse oximeter to measure the amount of oxygen in their blood......"

Well I guess if you want something done right you have to do it yourself :)

Do they make ones that don't go on the tip of your finger?

Anywhere with thin skin. Since the ears are covered by the helmet, and the fingers are busy, I think I see where you're going with this. Although, I can't imagine the horror of that clip attemping to slip itself off while pulling G's.

Now you are cooking with crisco. Speaking of crisco, probably works as a good lube...sadly, I can see the AF actually trying to use this orfice.
 
First Operational squadron standing up to transition fairly soon (early CY13??), according to a high ranking USMC official.
 
While the F-22 is a lower density / higher profile asset, it can be argued that OBOGS equipped Hornets and all Supers have been suffering from systemic problems for longer. I get a VFA mask-on hypoxia HAZREP about once a week via the friendly spammers at WESS. OBOGS related hypoxia concerns have been in the VFA communities top three (of ten) for the past several years.

I have some cynical suspicions as to why the problem isn't yet fixed (and I've spent time on the phone with the Navy's "OBOGS guy" at NAVAIR) - but suffice it to say that the capability exists to fix the Hornet/Super Hornet problems so I hope this knowledge has been applied to JSF....
