How to measure oxygen?

Post by Knabino » Wed Jun 15, 2011 10:23 am

Is there a special finger tool one can use at home to see if one's oxygen levels are OK? Apparently this is a better indicator than AHI.

Here's the one I have. Other models available, but this one records all night and you can then download and print the data on any computer.

I found a coupon for that site: "squidoo5" saves you 5%.

I have a CMS Contec 50F for sale. I really like it - wrist strap, rubber sleeve comfortable on your finger and easy to download data to computer. PM me if interested. I will let you know if it has already been sold.

how much is your sale price, Bright Choice? And does it download via software? I was looking for the one that goes with the ResMed S9 but this one you have might work for me.

The one that goes on the S9 is really pricey. I have the one Bright Choice uses and it is a very user friendly and accurate unit.
