oxymeter with Respironics System One - Ghandi - 08-12-2014
Hi everyone, i hope you slept well.
First i want to tell you i had a great night at 1.0 ahi. Best night ever.
So for all of you on the ahi quest. hang it there it happens overtime
Also i,ve been trying to out if there is any way to plug a valuable oxymeter with RemStar Pro with C-Flex+Philips Respironics System One.
It would help me to track oxygen desaturation. And probably evaluate what events were damagable.
Well, maybe that overdoing things.
What do you guys think?

You can use a separate sensor to track what happens at night but it has to have data capabilities. A lessor expensive one like a CMS 50D+ works well. It attaches to your finger and records what happens at night. You use a connection to a computer afterwards to pull the data off and display it. Another like a CMS 50F has a wristband which then has a finger sensor connected by a cable. Would be easier to use I think but also costs a considerable amount more.
I just got the CMS 50D+ for myself as I could not justify the cost of the CMS50F. While I could have gotten the CMS50F for less money, the shipping would have been up to a month to get to me.. Needed it sooner.
There are others out there. Some even interface with SleepyHead but you need to make sure you are getting the correct model. Sometimes newer versions of the same don't interface with SH. They key is to get one that records the data so you can look at it the next morning.
I don't think there is anything that will "connect" to your CPAP to do this. A sleep lab uses a separate sensor to get that data.

thanks a lot. I'll look into that
