Re: Will You Get the Swine Flu Vaccine?

No way - not unless forced to by my employer or the borg govt (the collective). And then if forced, I'll do everything possible to reduce the possibilities of an immunotoxic response. I'll choose a few days in bed with a fever anytime over being paralyzed or killed by Guillain–Barré. If you still th...

Re: POLL-How much do you use your humidifier????

Depends on the season. Here in PA it's humid enough during the summer that I don't need it at all. Come fall, when the home heating system is fired up, the indoor humidity drops and I need to use a 2 or 3 setting. During the coldest and driest days midwinter, I sometimes use 4, but rainout is often ...

Re: Anyone tried the CMS-P yet? Or bought from Contec?

After the initial novelty wears off, I figure that I'll only use it when I suspect I might be having a problem, or once a month - whichever comes first . Even though using the smartcard on the CPAP is less hassle, I don't think I'll be reading that data all that often as time goes by either... Howev...

Re: Anyone tried the CMS-P yet? Or bought from Contec?

Hmmm, maybe that's the problem - I have the sensor to far down on my finger. I'll try to position the LEDs directly over the middle of my fingernail.
Thanks!

Re: Anyone tried the CMS-P yet? Or bought from Contec?

I've had my CMS-P for about a week now. If you are looking for a low cost oximeter, this might appeal to you... The storage container is kind of interesting. It's in a metal can with a window on top. The software CD is actually in the can also - it's one of the mini CD's that are somewhat rare, but...

Re: REVIEW: Contec CMS-60D Handheld Oximeter

I've had my CMS-P for about a week now. If anyone is looking for an oximeter without a display (like they typically use in sleep labs) you might be interested in this. It sells for $99 and uses the same software as described in this thread. It has a ten foot cord and plugs into a USB port on your no...

Re: Anyone tried the CMS-P yet? Or bought from Contec?

Here is an (excellent) review of another CMS oximeter - this one is the CMS-60D, which sells for about $250. http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t34394/REVIEW-Contec-CMS60D-Handheld-Oximeter.html There are some good links there that describe the software installation and the operation of the SpO2 revi...

Re: Anyone tried the CMS-P yet? Or bought from Contec?

Review of PC based recording Pulse-Oximeter I've had my CMS-P for about a week now. If you are looking for a low cost recording oximeter, this might appeal to you. I got it on a "buy-it-now" eBay auction for $99 including free EMS shipping from vendor "medonline888". EMS shipping is quite fast - I ...

Re: Anyone tried the CMS-P yet? Or bought from Contec?

I just bought one of these from an eBay vendor. Looked at their feedback and it seemed like at least two people had bought them. Both left positive feedback and one specifically said that it worked well. So, within 10 days or so I hope to have one of these in my hands. My plan is to connect it to a ...
