Which Oximeter to buy with Mac 10.10.4 and SleeyHead 9.8.1

Post by fdw » Sun Aug 02, 2015 9:08 am

Anyone successfully using a Oximeter with the latest SH software for Mac 10.10.4? If so what make and model...and any special operating instructions?

Just curious; why would you think you need an oximeter?

I use both the 50f and 50iw. In my opinion, they are easier to use with SH than the 50d+ but cost a little more. The difference between the f and i are; The i model will record up to 15 sessions and will provide a Perfusion Index value. The f model will only record 1 session and doesn't have a PI value. The definition of a session is a single start and stop of a record option. The "w" is for bluetooth and costs more. This feature is worthless with SH. You use the bluetooth option in real-time data monitoring with the device's supplied software.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the information.

Im really interested in making sure the device (50f or 50iw) will work with my Mac 10.10.4 and SH 9.8.1.........Are you setup using a Mac computer with 10.10.4, if yes what software are you using (if any) other than SH are there special drivers needed?

My platform is Windows. As far as I know, The oximeter software is only written for the Microsoft platform. I believe that a forum member was able to use it on an iOS platform using Parallels. . . Don't quote me on this.

you are correct. the provided software is windows only, but can run on an emulator on other platforms.
