Software for a Contec CMS 50E pulse oximeter

[dschalk]

I have a Contec CMS 50E pulse oximeter but no user manual or software for moving overnight data onto my computer. Contec is no help. They seem to have forgotten that they ever made the CMS 50E model.

My operating system is Arch Linux, but I can make Windows software work. Helpful hints would be much appreciated. The manual as an email attachment to dschalkdesk@gmail.com might solve my problem. The user manual might still be downloabable from Contec, but the customer assistance operation doesn't seem to know anything about it.

Hi dschalk! -

The only software that is available to communicate with the CMS-50s is a Windows only application, Smart Device Assistant V3.1.0.1. It will run in a VM Windows shell, but you may have problems with the USB connection. This device requires the special cable that came with the CMS-50. I believe it is a USB/HID type and can really cause problems if you aren't in a real Windows environment.

Here is my download link to Smart Device Assistant V3.1.0.1:

Thanks for your kind response. I'll tell you where it has taken me so far.

I'm using an Arch Linux operating system called RebornOS. Using the link you provided, I now have this subdirectory (folder) in my file system: ~/.wine/driveC/users/g/Smart Device Assistant V3.1.0.1. 

I was surprised to see what appears to be data from the times I used the device overnight in 2018 and 2019. There's also a 2010 file named "demo.SpO2". With an appropriate Windows program, I'm pretty sure I could display the data. I don't know which Windows applications to try.

Calling SpO2.exe doesn't seem to do anything -- no error message, no prompt, nothing. I don't know what it's supposed to do. Now I can't find the 2018 and 2019 data. Maybe SpO2.exe wiped it.

I won't be surprised if it turns out that I misinterpreted everything I saw.   

Thanks again.

SpO2.exe is the name of the program. The Demo.SpO2 is added when you installed Smart Device Assistant, and is to give the user a sample piece of data to play with, when first using the app.
