I'm thinking of buying an oximeter and am wondering what kind I should get - any recommendations?
Thanks!

I recommend getting any of the ones that work with Sleepyhead software. They are a good buy and you can read the results along with your cpap data.

Thanks, SewTired! I'm wondering how to find out which ones work with Sleepyhead software. I guess I need to do more research.

It depends on the quality and your budget. Personally I got a used GE trusat signal. It's has good performance and matches my results with high quality oximeter used by embletta. Otherwise Contec should be OK, if you can get the software to work.
