DreamStation Oximeter

Post by California1849 » Fri Mar 04, 2016 5:14 pm

Hello!

Does anyone use the Philips oximeter with the DreamStation? I'm having trouble finding the data -- it doesn't seem to appear on DreamMapper, and I cannot find the output anywhere else. The DreamStation says the oximeter is successfully connected...just can't find the readings.

Suggestions???

On my oximeter attachment for my 960, there is an additional slot for an SD card in the attachment. The machine does not write oximeter data to a card in the original slot but only in the new slot.

In addition, I find that I must have the sensor on and recognized before starting therapy, otherwise the data is not recorded properly.

Perhaps yours has similar quirks.

I do recommend getting EncorePro latest version to be sure your problem isn't a SleepyHead quirk.

BTW, would you send me a PM with your DME source and model/part numbers?

"sleepyhead quirk" he never said anything about SleepyHead.

the version of sleepyhead that supports the dreamstation hasn't even been released yet (though there is a mac beta available) much less dreamstation oximeter data.

If you'd been willing to upload your completely anonymous data, then SleeyHead could be updated to show what you're looking for, however, as it is, you'll have to wait until someone else uploads their data so that it can be supported.

Sorry.
