Costco Sale on Pulse Oximeters

[Zzz_Jim]

I see where Costco has a recording pulse oximeter from "Veridian Healthcare" on sale for $37.99.

I wonder if it will work with SleepyHead??? It looks just like a Contec CMS50D+ but with different color plastic...

I'm no expert on these things, but I didn't see anything that said it records in the sense one watching their levels overnight would need. There's a difference between keeping a record of each reading vs continuous recording over a period of time. Someone will come along who knows more about these than me. I just know mine cost a heck of a lot more and I'd be real surprised if this one will meet your needs. Hope I'm wrong.

Hmmm in the description is says

Computer Tracking Software—Oximeter records up to 24 hours of a single monitoring session for later review and download via Windows compatible software

• Pulse oximeter
• Quick-release lanyard
• 2 AAA batteries
• USB cable
• Soft-side storage case
• PC software mini-disc
• English/Spanish instruction manual
• 2-year limited warranty

You will only know if it works with sleepyhead by trying it.

Further info.
From the comments it sounds like it is the same as the Contec CMS50D+, no clock, 1 session up to 24 hours, typical comments talk about how hard it is the get the data off the device (the instructions are typically confusing like the Contec one).

Again, you will only know by giving one a try.

If you are a Costco member, it is an easy thing to try and return if it doesn't work out.

it's either a d or d+ of course, that's the crux of the matter... does it record, or not.

it's costco, they take returns.

however, if it *is* the d+, it's got some downsides... it's a bit fiddly, it's a pain to keep on your finger all night (might need to be taped on), it positively gobbles batteries... 3 nights per set of alkalines.

the wrist mounted ones are much nicer for overnight use, you can get either the cms50f or i model from aliexpress for under 100$ if you look for low price listings.
