What is the file size? There is a size limit.
Are you getting any messages as to why it won't attach?

Now I have a pulse oximeter, CMS50F. It seems to be incompatible with my Mac. I can't figure out what version it is. The information I can find on this board is fragmented and I'm thinking I won't be able to figure it out. If anyone willing to walk me through this?

Thanks,

Lindsay

I'm not getting any messages about why it won't attach. I don't know how big it is, but it's just a regular screenshot. Let me try again.

This is the data from two nights ago. CPAP set at 7. I have some good nights and some bad nights. Mostly good.

Definitely keep the appointment with the pulmonologist/sleep doctor. Think ahead of time what information you want to provide and what questions you want to ask.

I don't have an oximeter, so I can't really help you with that. I looked at the manual for yours, and one question is whether yours can do Bluetooth. Do you know? One website I looked at said your device can run on a Mac using Parallels, but I don't know what that is.

I hope someone else can come along and help you get the read-out from the oximeter.
