Thanks, Sierra. I've looked up all those devices online. The cheaper ones give a screen report of oxygen saturation, but don't see any way to download data. Higher priced ones seem to give a data stream.

Amended comment - Looked AGAIN and the picture on SH shows the "CMS50D Plus - 24-hour Memory, Data Can Be Stored & Uploaded to Computers With USB Cable, For Home & Sports Use, With Lanyard, Blue" Amazon $33.60. Probably try one eventually.

Another overview device (but no oxygen data) is one I've mentioned on other forum threads:

From PCWorld. Worth a look see to me at only $69. I ordered one with 1st time buyer discount(10%) and $2.99 shipping it cost me $65.09 Waiting arrival next week. Amazon's price is $129.

Look at what fingertip oximetry SleepyHead says works with their reporting. They vary from $13-$300. I can't figure out how you get the data into SH and which give a continuous data stream while sleeping. Anybody done this? Can you explain? What model?

Hey, Steve.

Thanks for all good comments here. This is copied from my comment on: "Could it be sleep Apnea?" I'm on day 26 of my Resmed Aircurve 10 S BIPAP with 3rd mask trial, a DreamWear full face w/nose pillow & mouth covering( I like mask). Pushing Dr. to give me an AUTO version of Resmed. I had 2 sleep lab tests. Dr. monitors my results via wifi.

$69 - 6.90 (1st time order discount) +$2.99(shipping) = $65.09 (Price ending in 2 days.) So I ordered 1 from them for Mar 7 delivery. Amazon offers same device for $129. It reports data on smart phone app. Multiple users, so you can share with family and friends that have sleep issues. (You will gain many new friends!) (Hey, might be a great pickup line in bars or online dating. LOL) Remember approx 80% of AP goes undiagnosed. Among many outputs it reports oxygen in blood also, WHICH I WANT TO KNOW. Take a look. Site says it EXPIRES IN 2 DAYS.

Can't give you any results until March 7+. All sales final. I have no connection to this product, but gonna take a chance!

Hey, tbachCPAP thanks for Fitbit comment. I was looking for a bracelet to give me more info (too many brands)! I really need a bracelet that has an ALARM and major electro shocking capability when any SUGAR is headed toward my mouth! (LOL) Have not found one.

My research shows lots of bad reviews on many bracelet brands. They seem to list many "seductive" measurements that don't work well or not at all. I'm leaning toward a $49 Kogan from Australia, used by someone on our Forum, if I even try a bracelet. (Anybody else using?)

Go to: "Could it be sleep apnea?" on this Forum for details on what I've ordered. It's a ring device for $65.

Great comments Biguglygremlin. I'm a newbie (26 days) but this Forum has confirmed my observations, suspicions, and deductions. It is what it is and I guess we'll continue to struggle.

Hey, Ruby. This may sound crazy, but put a bar of soap under your sheets when sleeping. It may "clean up" this issue. I have friends that it helped. This non-medical advice! Try it and let us know.

Someone in a Tai Chai class said keep a glass of pickle juice nearby and drink some when it occurs. Yuk! Have no friends trying that. But...

Thanks. My take is 167 degrees seems OK for Resmed hoses for "High level thermal disinfection" . (see below from Resmed manual) What about my DreamWear Hybrid Full Mask with Headgear? Their manual says disassemble then "hand wash in warm water with liquid dishwashing detergent, rinse, lay or hang to dry". Also you may wash mask only (not fabric straps-do by hand) once/week on top shelf of dishwasher, no DRY cycle. After my first 3 weeks, I have done none of these cleanings. (My bad!)

Reprocessing the air tubing Disconnecting

1. Hold the cuff of the air tubing and gently pull it away from the device.
2. Hold both the cuff of the air tubing and the swivel of the mask, then gently pull apart. Decontaminating Before the disinfection process, each component must be cleaned and rinsed so no visible contamination is present.
3. Clean all components with a soft bristled brush for one minute while soaking in detergent solution (see table below). Pay particular attention to all crevices and cavities.
4. Run the detergent solution through the air tubing repeatedly until no contamination is visible.
5. Thoroughly rinse each component according to the detergent manufacturer's instructions. ResMed has tested the following detergents according to the manufacturer’s instructions: Detergent Water temperature SlimLine ClimateLineAir Standard Alconox™ (diluted at 1%) Hot water (approx 140°F or 60°C) Warm water (approx 113 to 140°F or 45 to 60°C) Room temperature water (approx 70°F or 21°C)    Neodisher MediZym™ (diluted at 2.0%) Warm water (approx 113 to 140°F or 45 to 60°C)    High level thermal disinfection Part Validated number of cycles Hot water: 167°F (75°C) for 30 minutes. SlimLine 20 ClimateLineAir 10 Standard 100
6. Immerse the air tubing in a water bath. Take care that no air bubbles are trapped inside the air tubing.
7. Increase the water bath temperature to 167ºF (75°C) for 30 minutes. Higher temperatures may damage the tubing.
8. Air dry out of direct sunlight and/or heat. 24 Inspecting Perform a visual inspection of the air tubing. If any visible deterioration is apparent (holes, tears or cracks etc), the air tubing should be discarded and replaced. Slight discoloration may occur and is acceptable. Packaging and storage Store in a dry, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight. Storage temperature: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C).

Think my sleep lab pointed to needing help with exhale. Thus 16 in and 12 out. Will ask Dr specifically on next visit. I'm still requesting an AUTO Resmed for more control/setting of pressure variables. As I "understand" the algorithm will adjust on each breath based on detectable needs.

Thanks for aerophagia reference. Good info. Haven't experience bloating, etc. yet. Especially the words ..."EPR (expiratory pressure relief) on ResMed brands."
