PulseOx shopping
I've used a Contec CMS50-D+ or CMS 50-BT for ages, but I'm needing the data far more lately. The current 50-BT is only giving 1 full night of data, for a pair of AAA batteries, so I'm shopping for a rechargeable unit that OSCAR can read. I'm using it nightly and batteries in my small town are no give away item. $0.80- 1.25 per night will get old fast!! I'm waiting for a reply form Viatom/Wellvue, that is listed in the OSCAR Users Guide, as they look like they generate a CSV file. Anyone know if that's worked for the "other" category offered in the Oximetery Download screen in OSCAR? Thanks all!!

Re: PulseOx shopping
Can your current oximeter use rechargable batteries? The voltage is slightly lower than regular alkaline types, but if they could work it would definitely save some money. I couldn't find a downloadable manual for the CMS 50-BT

I have used a Wellue O2Ring for more than 5 years. It works well and the data loads into OSCAR easily. It also has its own computer app (I use Windows) that can display the data.
This one was before I was using a CPAP....

Re: PulseOx shopping
No. Maybe my rechargables need replaced, but I only get about 5 hours out of them. With my original CMS50 D+ I got 2 nights from a single charge. Not sure if this newer CMS50-BT just takes more energy or those old rechargeables need replaced. That's a cheaper fix than a new pulseox!!
