Oximeter List - SKPC - 08-01-2022

Is the list below still the latest list of OSCAR compatible monitors?

Pulse Oximeters
Oximetry Wizard
Data from the following pulse oximeters can be imported via OSCAR's Oximetry Wizard:

  • Contec CMS-50D+, CMS-50-E, CMS-50E

  • Contec CMS-50F, CMS-50H, CMS-50I (v3.7 firmware or later)

  • Pulox PO-200/300/400/500
Note: Contec CMS-50F -- the newer version 2 hardware uses a new USB protocol which the OSCAR team has not yet reverse engineered, so currently you need to use the new (Windows-only) Contec software to read the data and create a data file, which apparently uses the same format as the older models. This has not been verified just yet.
The Pulse Ox CMS50F Version 2.0.0 hardware requires the Smart Device Assistant V3.1.0.1. The software can be downloaded at http://www.dlsoftw.com with index code: 01GS4016.
The software's default SpO2 data storage folder in Windows 10 is C:\users\user name\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Smart Device Assistant v3.1.0\Data. I copy CMS50F SpO2 data files from the default Smart Device Data folder to a new root directory folder named C:\SpO2_Data. Oscar will import the SpO2 data files directly from the C:\SpO2_Data folder. You must first have Oscar import your machine's sleep data file from your SD Card prior to importing the corresponding SpO2 data file from the same time frame.
Manual Import
Beginning in OSCAR 1.1.0, the following pulse oximeters are imported via OSCAR's Data > Import Viatom Data... menu. See Viatom File Import for how to download and import their data files.

  • Viatom/Wellue SleepU

  • Viatom/Wellue O2Ring
Thanks

Unless the list from the Wiki hasn't been updated, I assume this is current.

Posted this in the wiki editor's forum. I did not write the wiki and have no knowledge of the compatible oximeters. Please link the wiki in question, it really helps, and the editor(s) are shown in the wiki information. I'm not one of them.

As far as I know, the wiki is correct.

I was afraid of that but needed to ask - many thanks for your reply!

Were you looking for a particular Oximeter or brand?  Or do you already have one that is not listed in the wiki?

RE: Oximeter List - SKPC - 08-05-2022

Thanks for the reply - I am looking for an oximeter that works well with / or CAN work with (be imported into) OSCAR that is not manufactured by Viacom / Wellue. I have an O2 ring - works great normally - imports super easy but it needs repairs / replaced and I have not been able to find a way to contact Viacom / Wellue so I want to buy something else. However, in researching all of the ones listed in Wiki for OSCAR are all made by Viacom / Wellue. 

Know any or anyone else that would know?

Thanks

RE: Oximeter List - Jeff8356 - 08-05-2022

Contec is a different brand.  The most popular one is the CMS50F.  It is a wristband style with a fingertip sensor.  The only drawback is that the newer models need to use the "Smart Device Assistant" software (Windows only), and the cable, to communicate with the unit and download the data.  Once you do that it can then be imported into OSCAR.  It's an extra step (or two) every day but it works.
The CMS50F only holds one night of data at a time so you would need to d/l it every day, otherwise it will overwrite the previous data.

It's unfortunate that you had a bad experience with Wellue...

RE: Oximeter List - SKPC - 08-05-2022

Thanks for your quick response!

True - I intimated they were a Viatom / Wellue brand but what I meant to say is they are Chinese made. I have NOTHING against Chinese people - I worked in China a number of times in my career - but I have reservations about Chinese companies and their practices - also based on my experiences in China! 

Maybe I am being unfair to Contec and should try one of their units! i will look into that.

Thanks again!
