Oxygen sensor

Post by tvmangum » Fri Feb 27, 2009 9:41 am

What do you use your oxygen sensor for? I don't have one and was wondering if it was something that I might need to explore. During my studies and titration my oxygen levels went to 81%. I don't know if that could possibly be the reason for still having an AHI at 9.6 for the week, 13.2 last night and 10.1 for the month.

I have called the RT and my doctor regarding my numbers and of course I am waiting for a call back.
Better over the hill than under the hill--especially since my last surgery was a heart transplant on August 3, 2013.

Pondered the same question myself for some time.Received a new sensor today and am very grateful to have this 02 Sensor.

Based on reviews here,I ordered the wristband version which has added features built in.Here is the unveiling:

The SP02 software allows you to do real time recording of 02 and Pulse in 1/10/30/60 minute increments via included USB cable or optional wireless.
You may then print or save this data and view it with the included SP02 Review software,which really lets you drill down into the info.
SP02 Review is also used for downloading up to 24 hours worth of recorded data.Internal clock is built in.
Always most useful to be aware of your 02 levels and Beats per Minute of the heart,to be forewarned of potential issues.
I live with a dedicated athlete who runs very hard and this will assist in training,keeping her "in the zone"--ha ha!
In the User Manual a 3 year trouble free period may be expected,with annual calibrations.
One 3.7 Volt Rechargeable Lithium Battery,charge and discharge no less than 500X.
Software and device drivers installed seamlessly on XP ProSP3.
Better to know than to wait and wonder "what if"?
$251 USD all in,shipped via UPS,http://www.echostore.com
Expensive? Yes,like any good tool.Only this one might keep you from harm...
