CMS50E oximeter battery dead :( replacement ??
Re: CMS50E oximeter battery dead :( replacement ??
Wow. I find this company's response to be stunning. And surprised at the lack of response from consumers here.Snuff-L-Reddy wrote:Hi Bob
I tried to see if the Manufacturer could be of help Below is their response.
Dear Jay,
Have a nice day.
This is Viola Lee from Contec Medical Systems Co., Ltd, and it is my pleasure to offer you my service and our products.
As a manufacturer, it is all right for you to buy the CMS50E battery directly from us. Here are two suggestions for your reference:
1. Buy the battery only
Battery for CMS50E: 10 USD/ piece FOB China
Shipping cost: 20 USD
Total: 30 USD
Since the shipping cost is higher than the battery itself, it is not cost-efficient for you to buy the battery only. So I recommend you to buy another CMS50E, then I would like to give you the battery for free.
2. CMS50E+ battery for free
CMS50E: 90 USD
Battery for CMS50E: free
Shipping cost: 30 USD
Total: 120 USD
Of course, it is upon your final decision. Any question please feel free to let me know, I will try my best to help you.
Best regards,
Viola Lee

another consideration is the life of the oximeter itself, ie does it need to be recalibrated every two years, and if so, how is this done and how much does it cost.
i treat it as a disposable item with built in obsolescence, like so much other crap these days.
Re: CMS50E oximeter battery dead :( replacement ??
Fortunately no calibration is required for an oximeter, peterg:
