Pulse Oximeters - Which model should I choose?

4. Pulse Oximeters - Which model should I choose?

Here a few pointers to help choose a model:
A. Are you needing it for sleep study?
If so, consider the CMS-50F wrist watch model or the CMS-60C which has a long cable. The sensor on the 50F is ideally suited to night-time use and won't easily get dislodged when you move in bed.

B. Do you need it to link to a computer so that you can print and review the results - perhaps to discuss with your doctor or specialist?
The following models can be connected to a PC:
CMS-50D Plus
CMS-50E
CMS-50F
CMS-60C
PM-60A
MD300I-P

C. Are you using it on a child or infant?
Consider that the child/infant probe may need to be purchased separately and that a clip style oximeter may be less convenient than a unit with a cable style probe.
The CMS-50F, CMS-60C and MD300I-P can be used with child/infant probes.

D. Do you want a model that runs off standard batteries or would you prefer one that is rechargeable?
The base models CMS-50A, CMS-50DL, CMS-50D and Prince 100A are all powered by battery. The CMS-50D-Plus and MD300I-P (both with software and PC connectivity) are also battery powered. The rest of our current range are rechargeable. These can be recharged by plugging into a mains socket or via the included computer USB cable.
