Re: Can someone review my data?

Not that great. I have been on CPAP since the 6th of May and just switched to a hybrid mask (last night was the first night) and was on nasal pillows before that. Any suggestions?

Re: Question on Pressure - Updated Info.

Re: Help for the CMS50E oximeter

I have one that is coming in the mail any day now, I hope it is not a FPOS.

I use paper medical tape to hold the one I have now to my finger. FYI.
