Choicemmed Pulse Ox to Macbookpro laptop.

Post by grybeard77 » Fri Dec 01, 2017 4:00 pm

Finally got the settings made in this fiendish device, very large finger and very small buttons and 3-4 tries and finally have every thing set to record overnight. i hope..
What is the small CD disk for? Will it work in the big CD slot on my laptop with out getting stuck in there?
Now, I need all the help/info I can get to set it up so my Macbook pro can see it, and then get Sleepy head to display it.

Remember I'm an old fart and need all details to get this thing to work.
Thanks in advance.

You'll lose the CD and wreck your drive.

Never buy a slot sign of cheap parts, might try to down the files from web. or have someone copy them off on a flash drive. My newest computer doesn' even have a burner, I bought a usb one for $25, never used it yet. work on one computer slot dvd, had three game disks stuck in it. Jim

Thanks for the link, unfortunately it doesn't cover my unit. I have a Oxywatch Wrist Pulse Oximeter W11 SM and can not find any help on Choicemmed web sites, so far, that covers my unit.

What a rip off, have to down load the software from the tiny CD to make nice with my lap top with a CD slot instead of a tray. Where can I convert the small disc to a large one my outer can use????

Disc Stretcher, might work, best thing why burn it, a usb flash drive is fast and cheap and reusable. You will just misplace the new cd anyway.... I keep one usb hard drive with all my programs on it so I can reinstall. I really use two, just in case. Did you try to download the software from the manufacture of the product, most worthwhile ones have a web site. Jim

Golly, my computer nerd daughter just downloaded the software on her Windows computer, with a CD tray, put it on a flash drive and we installed it on my Mac. Easy peasey. Now I can download my nightly SH report on either one or both computers. Her monitor is twice the size of my Mac and much easier on the eyes..

Now I just have to get my Pulse Oximeter to play nice with both systems...
