Any recommended Oximeters compatible w/Sleepyhead?

Post by pitman » Fri Mar 08, 2019 8:09 am

I greatly appreciate help from this group. It has helped me big time!

I am wanting to track my oxygen with an oximeter that is most compatible with Sleepyhead.

I use a Resmed FF F20 and a Resmed Airsense 10 APAP.

Thanks!

this is from OSCAR, SleepyHead is similar.
Welcome to the Oximeter Import Wizard
Pulse Oximeters are medical devices used to measure blood oxygen saturation. During extended Apnea events and abnormal breathing patterns, blood oxygen saturation levels can drop significantly, and can indicate issues that need medical attention.
OSCAR gives you the ability to track Oximetry data alongside CPAP session data, which can give valuable insight into the effectiveness of CPAP treatment. It will also work standalone with your Pulse Oximeter, allowing you to store, track and review your recorded data.
OSCAR is currently compatible with Contec CMS50D+, CMS50E, CMS50F and CMS50I serial oximeters.
(Note: Direct importing from bluetooth probably not possible yet)
You may wish to note, other companies, such as Pulox, simply rebadge Contec CMS50's under new names, such as the Pulox PO-200, PO-300, PO-400. These should also work.
It also can read from ChoiceMMed MD300W1 oximeter .dat files.
Please remember: If you are trying to sync oximetry and CPAP data, please make sure you imported your CPAP sessions first before proceeding!
Important Notes: For OSCAR to be able to locate and read directly from your Oximeter device, you need to ensure the correct device drivers (eg. USB to Serial UART) have been installed on your computer. For more information about this, click here.
Contec CMS50D+ devices do not have an internal clock, and do not record a starting time. If you do not have a CPAP session to link a recording to, you will have to enter the start time manually after the import process is completed.
Even for devices with an internal clock, it is still recommended to get into the habit of starting oximeter records at the same time as CPAP sessions, because CPAP internal clocks tend to drift over time, and not all can be reset easily.

Bonjour, would the Contec CMS50IW work as well with OSCAR/Sleepyhead? I'm looking into purchasing a wrist based oximeter and there are so many things on the market now, from Fitbits to Vivosmart to Apple Watch (I think), that the results are a bit overwhelming. I'd like something that will integrate with Sleepyhead however. Looks to be a great market to get into if you could get OSCAR to integrate with alot of these.

The Respironics DreamStation directly supports an oximeter input. I assume this info is written to the SD card? Can SleepyHead or OSCAR read this info?

The reason I ask is that, when I got my machine, my DME (Kaiser) offered to lend me an oximeter for a few days to see what my oxygen levels were doing. I never took them up on the offer. Apparently the way it's done is with a card that replaces the standard wireless modem.
