A point to bring up is that with the oximeter, she doesn't have to use it every night, like she does with CPAP. Use it for a couple weeks to determine a baseline, and then use it as a spot check on a less frequent schedule... if you don't feel right, if you make a change to the CPAP settings, etc.

Yep, I have used that argument with her before. She says I will think about it
