I think I'm going to test the Aveo TSD and the oximeter this weekend and see how it goes. I hope my pulse ox chart doesn't look like yours but I won't be suprised if it does.

Do you remember waking up a lot during the night, gasping for air?

I'm suspicious a lot of that is movement artifact.

If you look at the tracing at higher resolution, are there a lot of sudden drops and rises, for example, 15 % or more in one minute? That's not physiologic.
